To connect a VGA computer jack to a component HDTV input you need a converter. I have a 2005 Toshiba Laptop with a S output and a VGA. It works OK with the S cable, but no one on any website has stated that JUST a cable will work connecting to a HDTV, only a projector. The link below is to a company that sells vga to component converter boxes.

This cable is RGB not component video. The reviewer that stated the pigtails were not shielded was mistaken, they are. If you are trying to connect AV equipment to a computer monitor this is not the cable. If you have a home theater computer with separate Red Green and Blue outputs and your monitor has a VGA input this is the cable you need.

Given the product's title: VGA to Component Video, you would expect to be able to take this cable and connect the VGA plug on your computer to the Component inputs on your TV.

Well that does not work at all. Some reviewers have stated that the cable works for other purposes. If so, great.

However I ordered this cable based on the title, and it did not work at all for that purpose.

It almost feels like fraud to state "Component Video" in the title, when in fact this cable is not outputting component video.
