    greetings m11x bretheren... (and sisterens)

    my shipment just came in the mail on monday and noticed that it didnt include the vga ports. i went to frys electronics and they only sold the monster brand converter which was 50 bucks

    ive heard a lot of stories about monster products being a ripoff so im reluctant to keep mine

    for those that still have their vga plugs, which convertor do you use?

    or does it really matter?

    halp meee :(

    I would say it doesn't really matter. Get the cheapest one that works.

    I'll second monoprice. Inexpensive and great quality on every adapter or cable I've ever purchased there.

    Monoprice is the place to get all of your cables. The word "Monster" is actually a word from an ancient dialect that means "I like to get ripped off"
