Lava DMS-59 to VGA Converter — Make Workstation Graphics Talk to Legacy VGA Displays

The Lava DMS-59 (59-pin) to VGA Converter is a compact, plug-and-play adapter designed to connect workstation-class graphics cards that use a DMS-59 output to VGA monitors and projectors. Many low-profile NVIDIA®/AMD® cards shipped in business desktops rely on this 59-pin connector to save space while supporting multiple displays. With this adapter you can reuse proven VGA panels in labs, classrooms, offices and maintenance bays without replacing your entire display fleet.

Installation is straightforward: plug the adapter’s DMS-59 male end into the graphics card and attach your standard VGA cable to the VGA female side. Because it’s a passive converter, there’s no external power, software or drivers to manage—your system treats it like a native analog port. In typical setups, resolutions up to 1920×1080 or 1920×1200 are practical (source- and cable-dependent), giving you crisp office dashboards, kiosk content and mirrored presentations.

The adapter is especially handy during system migrations. When you’re rolling out new PCs with legacy projectors in meeting rooms, or supporting service terminals that still depend on VGA, this converter keeps everything compatible while you schedule phased upgrades. A short pigtail reduces strain on the GPU port and helps with tight racks or small form factor cases. The molded housing and strain relief protect the connector pins during frequent swaps and transport.

Note that DMS-59 carries analog and/or digital signals depending on the graphics card. This model is intended for VGA (analog) output from a DMS-59 source. It does not convert from DVI-D/HDMI/DisplayPort and does not add audio—VGA is video-only. For best results, use a good VGA cable, avoid unnecessary couplers, and keep runs moderate to minimize ghosting on high-resolution desktop content.
