This item DOES NOT work!

2008-02-25
The description of this item is too vague owing to the fact that now I know I need a VGA video card on my computer. I purchased this item in hopes of connecting my wife's laptop to her TV but it totally failed! I even tried my Dell tower with the same result. The seller needs to clarify the fact that this item only works if combined with a VGA video card.

THIS CABLE WORKS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

It's amazing to read how people just buy an item and blame the product or seller when they are the one's to blame.

It will work with VGA cards that has TV-Out function capability through the VGA connector.
Check your Video Card manual or manufacturer to make sure that your VGA card has TV-Out function capability.

IMPORTANT: THIS ADAPTER WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT CONVERT AN S-VIDEO OR COMPOSITE VIDEO SIGNAL TO VGA. YOU CAN NOT USE IT TO DRIVE A VGA COMPUTER MONITOR WITH A CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SOURCE DEVICES SUCH AS A DVD PLAYER OR VCR.

Hoefully more people will read this and get it right... MAYBE !

Remember: Only because it fits does not mean it will work. You always have to check your manuals or ask sellers before you buy. Let them know what model number video card you have. Most know or you can always google the information regarding your video card model.

the worst item ever to be sold anywhere

I purchased this product for presenting. Even if you unplug your monitor, and hook this up instead, you will get the most pitiful picture you have seen in your life. It is in black and white and it splits your screen in half and it goes up and down across your screen in a fast motion. Save yourself the time and agravation and DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It is the worst thing I have bought in my life.

Product doesn't work, wish it did.

Thought it sounded too easy. Needed something to work with my laptop. Wish I would have read the customer reviews first like I generally do. At least it was only about 10 bucks w/shipping. Didn't get any funcionality with the rca connection, the s-video showed a scrambled screen in gray scale. Oh well, live and learn.
