This adapter cable is designed for easy plug-and-play connection of a device with a serial port to a device with a USB port.

I returned this item, so I can't review it specifically.
I'm writing this to warn you that it's not the same as a VGA-USB connector. I'm basically computer illiterate, so I went to Best Buy for some professional help. I needed the VGA adapter, but when I saw the price, I asked the associate if they had any less expensive. He pulled this off the rack. I opened it and saw that it looked similar to the VGA connection, but because the box said PDA/Serial Adapter, I questioned him. He said, "Yep, trust me".
After driving home (30 minutes) I discovered it wasn't right, the number of pins is different. So an hour later, I arrived home with the right product.
Be careful of the associates' supposed "knowledge". I had to give it stars, so based on other Dynex products, I'll assume it's good.

What's great about it: Inexpensive
What's not so great: Wrong product
I would recommend this to a friend!

The USB 2.0 VGA Display Adapter acts as an external graphics card for your Mac or PC. It allows you to add an additional VGA display through your USB 2.0 port. There~s no need to open your computer to add an expensive graphics card. With this adapter, you simply load the drivers, plug the adapter into the USB port, plug the VGA monitor cable into the adapter and you are ready to go. The Display Adapter supports three viewing modes. Primary Mode allows you to have individual applications open on each monitor, vastly improving productivity. Extended Mode allows you to extend your desktop across multiple displays, which can be great for spreadsheets. Mirroring Mode is used to clone one screen onto another, which can be ideal for presentations.

Well, first the Best Buy associate sold me the wrong item, even after I questioned it and he said, "Sure, it's right". Well it wasn't. So upon driving some distance, I returned that, and bought this device.
Best Buy's price is competitive, I just think they could make this for less.
I wanted to connect my old monitor to my new All-in-one computer. This made it simple. Plug it into the computer, connect the monitor, and away we went. Can't speak to durability yet, as I've only had it a month, but so far, so good.
