One pin was broken so, I could not get any pictures on my HDTV. I am to blame because I did not call the company to tell them about this problem. I was afraid that they would not exchange it.
The product was received in time. But this cable does not work well when I tried to connect my PC to my TV.
Both cables are described as 10' long. Like many here I purchased this VGA cable with the expectation of connecting a laptop to an HDTV. The Fry's cable has worked well and aside from the price I have no real problem with it.That said, I received my Amazon order today from HDE and immediately noticed some significant issues:1. Cable length was measurably shorter as well. In this case the "Cables to Go 10' SVGA" cable is going to go. The cable gauge (diameter) was noticeably thinner.2.
When comparing picture quality, the Cables to Go comes up short here too. Since I couldn't wait for the cable to arrive soon enough I purchased one locally from Fry's Electronics (for more than twice the price + tax). The Fry's cable measures 9'-11" and the Cables to Go measures 9'-5".5. While the product illustration displays "ferrites" (2) one on either connector and the description mentions "ferrites" (plural) several times, the cable only arrived with one ferrite on one connector.3. One of the connector retaining screws is slightly bent and will not align through both holes on the connector, it's virtually useless.4. As several others here have described, picture quality ranged from "snowy" to noticeably "fuzzy" and most definitely inferior.Sometimes there is no way to know if you are buying a "bargain" or just getting short changed.
right back.
Because it's a cheap cable, I would not bother to return it, but have to dispose it. It gives me the blurry fonts too.
However, when I hook this cable from my HP laptop to my Sony HD TV, it doesn't even display any image. I have ordered this cable because I have seen so many people gave it 5 star rates.
Today, I connected my lenovo laptop to an external monitor by using this line. I used this cable to connect my desktop pc to monitor, it worked by the fonts are blurry.
I used my desktop vga cable connected to the HP laptop to TV, it worked great. Sooo annoying.
I put my comments here for people tends to buy it consider the opposite opionion and not do the same thing as what I have done already.
I think the ferrites do a great job of blocking interference, as the quality of streaming from my notebook to my giant Sony Bravia was excellent. Also the cable screws in very easily, compared to other cables I have bought on Amazon.
