Not plug and play as advertised. – this device would not load its driver. instructions to get driver point to best buy. but at that location the mentioned windows .zip is not there to download as admitted by geek squad. you can imagine ‘next steps’ mentioned by geek squad. suffice to say a very disappointing experience.

USB adaptor – Did not have specific instructions for the application. It was the wrong adaptor and did not work for what I needed.

USB to VGA adapter – Works great to use my old monitors. Just needed to use some velcro to make sure they didn’t come apart.

dongle saves the day (and an old monitor) – Plug it in and go. The picture was good enough for a non-techie like me to know it would work.

When you need it, you NEED it. – When you NEED an extra display output, for an older monitor, you are scrambling to find something like this.

Not for macOS 12+ – Not plug and play for my macOS 12.7.4. Spent over an hour on chat and phone with Geek Squad. Finally found driver for manual download and install. For Mac OS 10.15? From 2021 doesn’t work on 12.7.4. Searched on Internet, this was latest driver that I could find.

No drivers – Plug and play! It detected the monitor immediately!

Did the job. – Used this to connect a Surface Book to an older monitor I had lying around. It worked like it was supposed too, so I consider that good.

USB to VGA Adapter – This was not the adapter I needed to connect my Monitor to the Windows 11. I carried it back for a refund. I went to the Computer Problem and he printed me out the adapter I needed and I went to Best Buy and purchased it.

Great – Is a great product but ended up not needing it afterall.

Works on Windows 10 for systems to get more ports – I have a four mongrel (Craigslist, thrift store, etc.) monitor setup.
But my Optiplex 9020 Minitower i7-4770 only has three monitor ports (VGA, DP X 2).
So I decided to try a USB to VGA adapter to connect to the unused VGA port of a PLANAR PLL2210W.
I considered the Insignia NS-PA3UVG adapter, but reviews here said the driver was online but could not be found.
But the reviews here for the Best Buy essentials BE-PA3UVG said that Windows 10 Update would have the driver.
So I went with that.
Ordered an Open-Box to take advantage of a recently arrived BB $5 certificate.
Ordered 5/14; shipped 5/15 from Lorton, VA; arrived 5/18 SE MN via FedEx.
Package was in good shape and had the Quick Setup Guide.
Followed the instructions to connect the VGA end to the powered off PLL2210W.
Powered on the monitor.
Then plugged in the USB end to a USB 3 port.
And… nothing.
Quick search online mentioned unplugging and replugging the USB end.
I did so with the monitor still on and…
Success! Windows 10 automatically downloaded the drivers. I did not have to go to Windows Update. (In hindsight I should have downloaded the manuals first, both mentioned Windows 10 automatically downloading without going to Windows Update.)
The Firmware, Drivers & Software link on BB downloads a file without an extension. It is a zip file, some of the contents have pkg extensions which implies Mac.
(I did not see the reviews for NS-PA3UVG mentioning that Windows 10 automatically downloaded the drivers. Its Firmware, Drivers & Software link on BB downloads a docx filetype but is actually a zip file. The non-Mac zip is actually a DMG file, version 2022-02-07, the Mac zip is a DMG file, version 2024-04-11.)
I right mouse clicked on the desktop -> Display Settings and Rearrange your displays to reposition the now four monitors.
Windows Settings -> Bluetooth & other devices lists:
T6 USB Station (Connected to USB 3.0)
Trigger 6 External Graphics
Device Manager lists two items:
Under Display adapters:
Trigger 6 External Graphics
Device type: Display adapters
Manufacturer: Magic Control Technology Corp.
Under Universal Serial Bus controllers:
T6 USB Station
Device type: Universal Serial Bus controllers
Manufacturer: Magic Control Technology Corporation
I think I will stop there and not go further into Device Manager specifics.
Two directories were created in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository:
trgidd64.inf_amd64_9ca8ddc86e55172a
t6sta.inf_amd64_0ae76a2246bffa86
That might be useful if I ever want to try this in Windows 11, assuming it doesn’t download drivers.
The PLL2210W is at its recommended resolution of 1920×1080. But Planar does not provide drivers so it shows up as a Generic PnP Monitor.
And there is no information (e.g. Color profile) for it in Desktop -> Display settings.
No complaints, the PLL2210W has been working fine for my use case (not a gamer or similar).

It’s an adapter as described and it works. I got it a reasonable price.
