Customer Reviews
Like I write in the title I use this from my laptop to 32" LCD TV! Only reason to do so is to play Netflix instant movies from the "net" without having to watch them on the laptop's 15" screen! At 10' I can pretty much place the laptop anywhere I choose.
You'll need a 3.5 stereo audio cable to tranfer the sound. It plugs into the earphone jack on the laptop.
You could just as easily do the same thing with your desktop PC to your LCD TV, so long as you have the connectors match up.
Lastly, it is a way to use your TV as a monitor, whether or not you play movies.
If you are looking to extend the length of your computer's LCD monitor, DO NOT BUY THIS CABLE.
I work in IT and needed to extend the cable length of a client's monitor to reach around their desk to connect to a Windows 7 machine. VGA uses a feature called EDID ([..]) which allows the computer to automatically detect the available resolutions your monitor supports. This cable apparently does not fully support EDID data and therefore does not pass the native resolution of your LCD screen to the computer. This means the computer cannot set the correct resolution of your screen to give the the sharpest picture possible, and instead chooses a generic mode that may work but usually looks terrible.
I also noticed an immediate picture degradation when plugging this cable in, with a bad ghosting effect. It may work in some situations, but you really get what you pay for. Every now and then I try to avoid this lesson, but time and time again I get a kick in the pants. Hopefully this can help you avoid a bad buy.
