Will this work for connecting an iPhone to a VGA cable that goes to my projector?
Jason E
on Feb 11, 2020
BEST ANSWER: This device needs power. And it is possible that your iPhone can't provide it. It is a pass through connection needing power like 5vDC. So a laptop can provide that.

No. iPhone uses a "Lightning" connector this adapter has a USB-C connector. It will work to connect an iMac or other device with a USB-C port.

I ordered two and neither worked at all, no matter what I tried doing, however this is for a USB-C output so iPhone output wouldn’t work.

No. This is a passive adapter only, only one of the ports can be connected at a time. Connecting this dongle while more than one display is attached to it will result in undefined behaviour (up but hopefully not including your dog being eaten by wild dingoes, and your house being carried away by hundreds of balloons).

BEST ANSWER: This adapter has worked on several Thinkpad laptops. When it works it is plug-n-play, very simple. One of these adapters didn't work so we replaced it with another,. Once you try trouble shooting and if still have problems, it may be a bad adapter.

Hold down the windows key along with the letter P key. A window on the right side of your screen will pop up and select duplicate screen. That should send the signal to your monitor if using hdmi or DVI.

BEST ANSWER: Laptops typically do not function as external displays. They would not have video inputs. You would be able to connect your Surface Pro 4 to an external monitor. However, the Surface Pro 4 would not have a USB C output. It would utilize a Mini DisplayPort output. Such as product # 12799.
