I got this to connect an old VGA monitor alongside my 24' DVI monitor to help productivity. I have a graphics card with two DVI slots. The product works fine, but the base on the DVI side is too wide, and rubs up against my primary monitor's DVI connection.
This makes it impossible to screw the adaptor into the DVI female, and I constantly lose the signal because I cant push it in all the way. Considering this product is used with computer hardware, where spacing can get very tight, I think it was a major oversight for Dynex to give this adaptor such a wide base.
My solution is to shave it down with a knife, but come on Dynex. Take these things into consideration.
What's great about it: Works
What's not so great: Base is too wide, may require some alteration for dual monitors.
