Supporting up to five adapters on one system, it offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for expanding your workspace without internal hardware upgrades. Ideal for multitasking professionals, it requires administrator rights for driver installation and is backed by a 2-year warranty. ## Description The USB to VGA Display Adapter with External Video/Graphics Card (USB2VGAE3) lets you add a high-resolution (1920x1200) external VGA output to your desktop or laptop computer using an available USB 2.0 port. Adding a dual- or multi-monitor setup to your computer can vastly increase your productivity by giving the freedom to access more applications at the same time. This video adapter is intended to support all of your business applications including web browsing, email, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can also leave your system video card available for more demanding applications such as gaming or CAD design, while you use the USB monitor for reference material. This small form factor USB video adapter can be used with up to 4 additional (5 total) USB2VGAE3 USB video adapters, creating multiple VGA connections to add displays quickly and easily — all without having to open the computer case to add extra video cards. A cost-effective solution for systems that lack the outputs required for a multi-monitor setup, this high-performance USB to VGA adapter can be used as a screen mirroring adapter to show your primary display on both screens, or can be used to extend your desktop to double your workspace. This USB to VGA Display Adapter is backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Review: Great product - works with super-complicated setup (dock and KVM switch) - I've had this now for a couple months. Overall I'm very happy. I'm using this in conjunction with a Rosewill 2-Port USB KVM Switch (RKV-2UC), also purchased from desertcart, and a Dell laptop dock, so the fact that everything is working together makes me quite happy! I did not have any problems installing. Installation was very easy. Since I read beforehand that others had problems during installation, I followed the instructions. I might not have followed the instructions had I not read those other reviews. My only nitpick is that occasionally (once a week or so), I have to unplug and replug the USB cable, or it will not allow the native resolution of the monitor (things will look squished a bit horizontally). Since it's still usable, even that I don't always do. Given my setup, I did not think that warranted a star off of the review. This is setup on the laptop dock for my work computer. Being full-time work and full-time college, I'm on the computer constantly, and take it on and off the dock a couple times a day. In addition, I have a desktop that's going to the same monitor via the aforementioned KVM switch - so replugging in the USB cable is NOT a big deal at all. Again, the fact that it all works together is worth that minimal hassle. This is a great product, and WELL worth the price. Review: this product works for me and i ordered a 2nd -- it works great too! - December 26, 2011 update -- My wife got me one for Christmas. After my previous experience below, it was exactly what I wanted. I just tried it (had already loaded the drivers as noted below). It is working great! Hmm-- I have another monitor that I could probably use with this computer.... December 11 2011 update -- as indicated below, the purchase was for the church computer. It has been installed there and was used successfully in the Worship Service today. It continues to be easy to install and reliable. ORIGINAL -- I installed this today. And it worked great immediately following installation. (1) I made sure that the device was not attached to the computer as noted in the guide. (2) I went to Startech.com and clicked on download and drivers, then entered the device name and dowloaded the driver. (3) Then I ran the driver. (4) As noted in the guide, it eventually indicated that I needed to restart so I let the computer restart. (5) I had the monitor and and cable ready but as noted, waited until after the computer restarted -- and I gave it a few minutes so that all applications were up and running. (6) Then I plugged in the usb cable to the computer (7) The screen came on immediately. I did go into the system setup as suggested to review and eventually changed another monitor So now I have (a) laptop screen (b) monitor 2 which is connected to the VGA port on the laptop (c) monitor 3 which is connected through the USB2VGAE3 Each is on and each has different item displaying. I wanted to check this out on my computer before we install it on a laptop at church which is used for morning worship presentations (well it was until we added a new screen which it could not handle). So - it is going to be used there. And probably in a month I will be getting one for myself. And then probably one for my wife. All in all, if it the new one works as well for me as this one has, I would give it more stars than 5. It is nice to have a product that works well right from the beginning. Thanks Startech.com and Thanks desertcart.com. ## Features - COMPATIBILITY: This adapter is only compatible with Windows and does not support macOS, ChromeOS or Linux; Works with all Windows X86/X64/ARM platforms: Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon X Copilot+ PC; Administrator rights are required to install the drivers - EXTERNAL VIDEO ADAPTER: USB to VGA adapter lets you lets you connect your laptop or desktop computer to a VGA monitor using a single USB Type-A port; 19in (50cm) cable length; TAA Compliant - 1920x1200 DISPLAY: With display resolution up to 1920x1200, you don't have to worry about sacrificing quality when you use this USB 2.0 External Video & Graphics Card - USB POWERED: Drawing power from the USB port of your Windows laptop, this USB display adapter doesn't require any additional cords or plugs - SCALABLE SOLUTION: With the ability to connect up to five adapters to one source, the external graphics adapter offers flexible setup options for future expansion ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005G306I2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #25 in USB-to-VGA Adapters | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | StarTech.com USB to VGA Adapter | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Monitor | | Connector Type | USB/VGA | | Current Rating | 1 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,264 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 years | | External Testing Certification | CE, FCC, RoHS | | Finish | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012951580371, 00065030843522, 00065030844178, 05053866633603 | | Input Voltage | 5 volts_of_direct_current | | Item Dimensions | 3.5 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches | | Item Type Name | Video Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.09 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3.5 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Mfr Part Number | USB2VGAE3 | | Model Number | USB2VGAE3 | | Nominal Power | 2.5 watts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 172302822168 012951580371 065030844178 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Years | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Color:** Gray - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Monitor - **Connector Type:** USB/VGA - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3.5 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech USB-A 2.0 to VGA Adapter, 1080p, TAA, USB powered (USB2VGAE3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O1vrpW6kL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product - works with super-complicated setup (dock and KVM switch) *by A***Y on November 26, 2013* I've had this now for a couple months.

I followed the directions and installed the driver before connecting to the machine. It got picked up with 5 seconds after. While I'm sure the video card in this CAN NOT run video at 4k....it does work well for low budget solution vs installing a graphics card. It makes me wonder why high performance versions of this don't yet exist. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter, USB to VGA Monitor Converter for Windows, 1080p , TAA (no support for macOS/ChromeOS/Linux) - StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter, USB to HDMI Monitor Converter for Windows, 1080P, TAA (no support for macOS/ChromeOS/Linux) - StarTech.com USB 3.0 to VGA Adapter, USB to VGA Monitor Converter for Windows, Slim, TAA (no support for macOS/ChromeOS/Linux) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/1377702-startech-usb-a-2-0-to-vga-adapter-1080p-taa](https://www.desertcart.es/products/1377702-startech-usb-a-2-0-to-vga-adapter-1080p-taa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
