I ordered this cable to connect my Acer 5672 laptop to my 24" Magnavox. It works perfectly! I have a 7-pin s-video port on my laptop, and I can confirm that this 4-pin cable works just fine. Also, the ends of the headphone (audio) jack and the s-video cable are split far enough apart along the cable that I can plug them in even though they're on opposite sides of my laptop.

If you have a somewhat older TV that doesn't have an s-video port, and a newer laptop that does, this is the cable for you! 5/5 stars.

The cable works great. Both audio and video quality is excelent.

I would make a slight change making the miniplug en of the cable 15-20cm longer than the s-video, because normally on a laptop they are not in the same side.

No problems with this cable, had my laptop connected to the TV quickly and easily.

The in-stock cable adapter was not shipped correctly for four weeks, and getting it required numerous calls and emails (shipping service deserves "1 star," twice, for repeated lost/incorrect shipping). The customer service staff was always polite but initially ineffective; at times, I felt like ClearAV's doormat rather than a customer. Finally, customer service representative "Annie" took control and initiated shipment that arrived in 2 days from the warehouse. Thanks, Annie (you earn "5 stars," thrice, for not giving-up weeks after the order).

The product is great ("5 stars") with video exceeding my expectation. For my PC (Dell 700M) to stream video to my TV, it is necessary to go through CONTROL PANEL to DISPLAY for setting the monitor to "clone." Then, go through CONTROL PANEL to INTEL EXTREME GRAPHICS 2M (a video card) to bullet under DISPLAY DEVICES the "clone option" to read from the #1 (cloned notebook) monitor.

This is a good cable and got it at the great price on Amazon.
This is working perfectly with my Dell Inspiron laptop which has S-video output.
As somebody else said earlier, the only drawback is that sound plug cable should have been more in the length than S-video cable.

I was looking for a cheap, usable product to output the VGA video sigmal and 3.5mm audio from my tiny laptop to my (OLD) 27" RCA TV set. My TV set has one coaxial antennae port (not important in this context); and three RCA channels: Yellow (for video), White and Red (for stereo audio). So far the product has worked fine. The build quality is not great, by it gets the job done. Also the cord could have been a little longer.

I would recommend this to anyone with similar needs.
One thought : This is NOT a fault of the product. However after hooking up my TV, I found that I have gotten used to the much higher resolution images on my laptop screen, an didn't really use the TV much.

Pros: Works as advertised for hooking up a laptop to a TV. Video and sound output is flawless, considering you're dealing with composite cables.

Cons: For someone with no technical expertise, this could have been improved by automatically adding the TV as a second monitor in Windows. Right now, that must be done manually, which is fine for me. With many others, however, this may lead them to believe that the product doesn't work.

Final Thoughts: If you're familiar with connecting multiple monitors, then you can't go wrong with this product. Even if you're not and you need this, I would get it, and you could learn something new in the process. :)

1) Product arrived much later than delivery estimate
2) Product that was shipped was not the cable I ordered
3) Picture quality with the cable is terrible.
I will never again order anything from this company.

This cord was NOT what I thought it was going to be. It did not come with an audio cable, it looks NOTHING like the picture at all. It is a single black cord that connects to S-Video and RCA Video port. It is a 4-plug S-Video instead of a 7. As of right now, I'm extremely dissatisfied.

This was supposed to be a cable converting stereo and S-video output to RCA input. What I got was just a converter from S-video to RCA (one s-video end and one RCA end). Not only that, but it took over a MONTH to get here! I was not pleased with my purchase at all.
