To the reviewers saying this product doesn't work: your VGA monitor needs to accept a component signal over VGA for it to work (such as the Epson PowerLite 77c projector). Otherwise, you need a component to VGA *adapter*, which currently costs about $100 or more. This product is simply a cable, which doesn't do *any* signal conversion. Hope this helps others before they waste their money.

There is no problem with this product, except it is expensive for what it is...
if your component cable can output 480P (progressive scan) signal and your monitor supports SOG, this is the best solution for component signal (I am using it for my PS2)

This adapter/connector, whatever you want to consider it was perfect for the use I was looking for.
I bought a used projector and assumed it had the component video cable hookups(red/blue/green). It did not. It had the older composite red/white/yellow connections as well as VGA/computer hookups.
I am using it to run the video feed from my TV to my projector. I realize the other reviews say this is not for computer use. It initially had a green tint on the projecter, similar to the problems that other people were writing about in other reviews, but all i had to simply do was change the options on the projector from computer input to video input.

These cables worked great! I used them to connect my Wii to a Hanspree monitor. I did have to set my Wii to 480p by connecting it to an HDTV first, but after that, everything worked great!

Prior to ordering this, I ran around looking for powered conversion boxes, etc. There is a lot of confusion out there about what signals can be passed through to what monitors. This little adapter worked well for me so here's the specifics of my system. Hopefully you can use this as a gage to see if it will work for you:

Console: Wii with Nintendo's Component Video Cable Official Wii Component Video Cable
Monitor: Asus MT276 Monitor ASUS MT276HE - 27" Wide LCD Monitors - Black

Connect this adapter to the RBG plugs on your component cable. Connect your audio as well using a separate L/R audio cable. Connect the VGA plug to your monitor and select VGA mode. The monitor show allows for 2 HDMI inputs and 1 VGA input. Turn on the Wii and your done. The colors look pretty rich on this ASUS monitor as it allows for color adjustment. I'd encourage you to check the specs of the monitor to make sure yours is similar. I think the KEY ingredient is the VGA input. By offering this connection, the adapter does not need to "convert" anything and just passes the signal through to the monitor via the HD15 (VGA) connector.

For the price, this can't be beat and performs exactly as I hoped it would. (slight leap of faith on my part)

I had order a video scaler to pump up some game systems to 1080i.
The scaler only had VGA to component male.

Unless I wanted to funnel this through a switch box I need female connectors.
I was able to plug a PS3 (via component) directly into my scaler with this cable.
Then the other side of the scaler went to my TV.

This worked perfectly.

It seems like people are confused and think the actually does some kind of converting.
It is just a wire. It doesn't do any magic.

I bought it to connect my Wii component out to a projector and it wouldn't display anything (occasionally display a red screen). I got a high quality cable later and used female to female RCAs to connect and worked perfectly. I took too long to try it and missed the return period.

Currently i have this hooked up from an Epson Powerlite 76C Projector to a Sony BDP-S300 (Blu-Ray)

Works great, getting very clear 720p resolution with no odd colors or stutter. didnt even have to change settings.

I replaced a project that was wired with a 50 foot component and the new projector only had VGA. This adapter worked great and I did not have to rewire anything.

Here's the deal.

You should only use this on a projector or similar device that can accept a component signal over VGA. (I am using a ViewSonic PJ551D 2300 Lumen DLP XGA Projector)

It is capable of passing an HDTV signal, I am using it with a PS3 and a Xbox 360. It should not be considered a true HDTV signal, but it looks darn good at 120"

No fidelity loss or corruption whatsoever.

This is not for a CRT or LCD Monitor.

If you have a very specific purpose in mind then this adapter is for you. I use it to hookup my PS3, and Xbox360, to a component switch, then to a VGA Switch which is wear my HTPC connects, then to my projector.
