This cable will not and is not supposed to connect a pc/mac/desktop/laptop to a TV.

even if you have TV out capabilities on your video card and the software to support it, this product will not work! It is not meant to link a computer to a TV.

do not buy this product if you are trying to hook up your computer to your TV. It will not work.

With out even trying it out, you can tell it will not work simply because the RCA cables have all 3 components two of which are audio! your VGA port on your computer is video only! this product is extremely misleading and is very attractive due to the price. Do not be fooled and do not waste your money!

you have been warned.

Despite the negative reviews I bought one of these. I thought, “These people probably don’t know what they’re doing I’ll be fine.” I tried the cable with my laptop which was the reason I bought it and, like others, my laptop said it couldn’t find an external monitor. I have used the vga on my monitor to connect directly to my HDTV before just fine so I knew it should work. I tried using the s-video end as well as the RCA end (trying both the yellow cable and connecting all three despite the fact that VGA doesn’t transmit audio) both with no luck.

The only 5 star review for this product says that you need to support TV Out (my laptop does) and that you need software (my laptop should). Taking my testing one step further I tried to use this product with my GTX260 a fairly new graphics card on my desktop computer and it still did not work.

I think I can confidently say that this product (and possibly all similar products) does not work. There are only two slightly positive reviews for this product and neither of them provide any form of helpful information for how to get it to work. I think amazon should remove the product from the website as it does not work for the majority of purchasers, if at all.

There is nothing wrong with this product. It’s a simple cable, nothing really to screw up. But, unless you know what you’re doing, you’re probably buying this cable for the wrong reasons, thinking it will allow you to display a pc on another monitor or television. You need to have the right video card/hookups, capability for this to work.

I got this so that i could plug it into my laptop and use it on my tv. It did not work. I did some research and think I found that you have to have a laptop or w/e designed to use something like this. I thought mine should because it is an entertainment notebook from hp, but it doesnt.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE BUYING.

It may or may not work with what you want it to. Make sure it will with what you want it too before buying.

The following product, isn’t intended, but maybe mis-leading into making you believe that you can connect your laptop into a television. But there was software issues. I can not explain that portion. But when I bought this item I intended on using it to use xbox 360 or nintendo wii running it to the monitor thus the “RCA TO VGA” hookup. There are and is cords for connecting laptops or computers to televisions. Such cords are S-VIDEO or HDMI. Anyways, off topic, this product worked great when I used it for what I bought it for! Great buy!!!
