4.0 out of 5 stars Good cable but not for VGA ports without screws, December 14, 2008

The cable is of very good quality though a little bulky. I had no problems connecting the audio and my computer doesnt have the 2 ports next to each other.
However, if your VGA port doesnt have screws to fasten the cable it is going to be very difficult to hold this in. The head of the cable is pretty bulky and heavy and without screw terminals, it falls off very easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big ol' cable, November 2, 2009

I can't remember the last time I saw a VGA cable as thick as this one; this is a big ol' sucker. It's built solid and tough, complete with ferrites on each end and screw-down connectors (and I would highly recommend that you screw it onto to your HDTV's connector due to its weight).

Some reviewers said the audio cable didn't reach the output port on their laptops. They must have humongous laptops; I have a 15.4" Toshiba Satellite, and there is no problem connecting both the VGA and audio output ports (the VGA output is located on the left side toward the rear, and the audio output is located just slightly right of center in the front), and it would easily connect if the two ports were on opposite corners.

Another reviewer said that if your laptop didn't have a VGA port with screw-down capability, the cable was too heavy and would disconnect itself. My laptop does not have screw-down ability, but I have not had any problem with the cable disconnecting.

This is a very high-quality cable at a very reasonable price, and 15ft is plenty long enough for most applications (easily extends from the TV to the bed or sofa).

This is a well-made cable that includes ferrites on both ends to prevent interference (only one of the included pictures actually shows them). A previous reviewer mentioned the ends being a bit heavy, but anyone who's used a VGA cable in the past won't be surprised because it's no different than all the rest. I use it for a 1080P image on my 40" LCD. The signal is perfect with no apparent losses from the laptop despite the length, but I'll admit to being skeptical before ordering. The 2 ft audio cable is plenty long to reach the other side of a laptop if needed. This definitely beats overpaying and getting much less at a major retailer.
