Hello everybody.
Yesterday, I found an old VGA monitor (Samsung S19D300NY) on my parents' house, and I thought that using dual monitor is a good idea, (while I'm selling the monitors and an old Lenovo computer, so I can get a good 1080p FreeSync monitor), so I brought it to my home, and installed it next to my Lenovo D185wa, which is connected to my rx580 with an adapter going from DVI-D(monitor) to HDMI (Graphics card). So now I want to connect the Samsung one, but I don't know how to do it, since the rx580 doesn't have a VGA port, instead, it has one DVI-d and 3 DisplayPort connectors, so I looked over the internet for a DVI-D to VGA adapter, but it is very expensive (at least the ones that are active), so I searched if DisplayPort-VGA adapters exist, and they do, and they are available in two different ways, "cable ones" and "brick ones"(I hope you can understand this) and I don't know what to but, so, What are your recommendations? Have you ever bought an adapter from DisplayPort to VGA? Are they good?
PS: I accept recommendations for a new monitor too (to pair with the Rx580) (1080p, FreeSync)
PS2: Sorry if you don't understand some things, my native language is Spanish, feel free of asking what you don't understand.
Thanks for reading.
