4.0 out of 5 stars WON"T WORK UNLESS...., November 9, 2008

By	Pedro P. Garcia "PJ Garcia" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

for everyone that thinks buying this will allow them to use their computer on their tv, BE WARNED.

your video card must already support analog signals (the stuff your tv can see), so simply feeding your digital signal through a cable into your tv by itself won't work. you need to buy a converter box (search "VGA to RCA | S-VIDEO | VGA Converter" in google or yahoo). it's more expensive, but it gets the job done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Read the reviews before buying!, July 10, 2008

By	R. Savelkoul - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This didn't work. After it was recommended to me by an electronics store employee, I didn't bother to do my own research. After I got it and it didn't work, I started reading up on it. I didn't find a single review that indicated that it did the job for them.

1.0 out of 5 stars It did not work. Faulty device., May 31, 2008

By	Ramkumar Ganesan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I tried to connect my laptop through VGA port to TV's S-Video port, it did not work. TV became totally blank. We tried all the soft settings possible and nothing worked. Not sure whether the device is faulty or was never designed to work.
