3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work for Samsung LN40A650 LCD TV, September 15, 2009

This review is from: Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable (Electronics)

I bought this to connect a laptop to my Samsung LN40A650 LCD TV, but the Samsung does not like the way the pins are wired in this cable. It is definitely the cable, because after trying 2 other laptops without success, I used another VGA cable that was previously on a desktop PC system. That one did the trick. With the 10ft cable I bought, the TV didn't recognize the PC input was connected. The VGA cable from the desktop PC worked, though I can only get up to 1300x768 resolution, not up to 1920x1080.

This 10ft cable still works, because it is now being used for the desktop PC instead. Just don't expect it to work with LN40A650. You may be taking a risk with any Samsung TV from 2008/9.

I also searched online about this problem, and it is a common. Apparently not all VGA cables are made the same way. This one just isn't made the way Samsung needs it to be. It will probably work with most other devices.

This is very long, ten feet long to be exact. It's also very high quality, it looks very professional. It's an old technology VGA cable, so basically you should buy the cheapest one of these that you can, like this one, because expensive wires on old technology deliver about the same performance as inexpensive wires.

And, if you're wondering, a Male to Male VGA cable means that you plug one end into your monitor and one into your computer. A Male to Female is an extender.

Pros:
+Very long, it can connect anywhere
+Economical
+Sleek and black

Cons:
-Very long, if you only need a short distance, you'll have a lot of extra cord

I am using this cable to connect my compaq presario to my Samsung HDTV LCD 32inch and the image is great. I had no trouble connecting or anything. No loose screws and the quality of the cable wrapping is very good.
