Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Product Works Great - If you Read Before you Buy Something Comment: First off, this cable DOES NOT convert your video signal. In the reviews below, no one (except one) knew what they were doing. TVs in America are NTSC, not VGA. If you plug the cable into a PC that doesn't output an NTSC signal this isn't going to work on your TV. Its like trying to get a 1080p HD signal on a SD TV from 1983; it simply isn't going to work.
Also, if your trying to connect your Xbox to a computer monitor, get the VGA output for the Xbox. It works like a charm. Same example as above except vice-versa. The Xbox is putting out an NTSC signal when you use the component cable but the monitor wants a VGA signal.
Customer Rating: Summary: IT WORKS IF YOUR PC HAS TV-OUT Comment: MOST DO NOT
Your computer MUST have TV-Out capability for this cable to work, so check with your cards manufacturer.
That would have save the reveiewers below some money and some posted lies about the product.
Everyone blames everything and everyone else for their errors. Customer Rating: Summary: Yes, it works great Comment: The other reviewers did not read the first sentence in the description. Your computer MUST have TV-Out capability for this cable to work, which is rare. You cannot simply connect this cable between your computer and TV and expect to get a signal. It's unfortunate that this product got so many 1-stars due to customers not doing their homework.
This cable works great if your computer has the TV-Out capability but if it does not, then you must purchase a VGA to S-video converter in the $30-60 range. Customer Rating: Summary: Bad cables and worse video signal Comment: I bought this cable to connect a media station PC to my television, but after hooking everything up (and checking to make sure that the cables were plugged in properly), I got a "no signal detected" message from my television.
I connected the PC to a normal monitor through VGA cables and had no problems with the display, so I decided to hook it up to a much older TV, again through the converter. The "picture" didn't even resemble static. It was totally unusable, squashed, scrolling, black and white video.
These sorts of cables used to come with almost every video card sold in a retail store, so I'm not sure what's wrong with the design here. Avoid this product at all costs! Customer Rating: Summary: DOES NOT WORK FOR XBOX Comment: I bought this product as an experiment, about 90% sure that it would not work. I wanted to connect my XBOX to a 22" Dell Widescreen monitor. The monitor does not recognize the signal at all, as I expected. I have not tested to see if it works as it says, as an adaptor from VGA to RCA/SVID.
