Cables To Go - 43098 - 25ft HD15 M/M UXGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio (Black)

Pros: Video Works Great With Audio Not Hooked Up
Cons: Can't Use audio with the cable or it induces interference lines in picture.

This cable works great except that at first I was getting interference lines in my brand new TV! I thought that it was maybe the computer that I hooked it up to. I later found out that it wasn't the computer or TV but it was this cord but only when I had sound running through it. Maybe I just got a crappy cable and others are good, I am not sure. Now I have to purchase another audio cable now, which really defeats the purpose of buying this cable. But without audio hooked up it works perfect!

The cord was way cheaper than buying the video and audio cords seperate. I did have to buy an extention for the audio end that connects to the computer though because it is only a foot long and I need about 14" to reach the other side of my laptop. Other than that, Great Buy!!!

Here's the short review....It works & it works FANTASTIC! And very easy to set up. If you want further details, read on.

Used with 15" Macbook Pro, (purchase 6/08)DVI output [with DVI to VGA adapter supplied with Mac] & this HDTV Samsung LNT4665F 46" 1080p LCD HDTV I purchased this cable from Amazon. Literally, this is all I did after putting waaaaay too much research in this. Hooked the DVI to VGA adapter cable to this cable. Plugged the DVI adapter into the Mac. Both TV & PC were turned off. I then plugged this cable into the PC IN port (vga) on the TV. I powered up the TV, switched it to the PC mode [just like video 1 or 2] powered up the Mac & BAM. The wallpaper on the Mac appeared on the TV. No set up screens appeared it just did it all itself. This is what's considered an "extension" of the desktop. I went to The Lost ABC website...selected "watch previous episodes" Selected Season 1 & the first show and then selected HDTV version over the standard. The Mac is connected to my network wirelessly but I decided to go for broke. I dragged the window to the right and it appeared on my TV Screen. Maximized it and even turned on the surround sound guess I was feeling lucky. Not one problem. By the way, the sound plug [mini plug on this cable] plugs into the headphone jack on the Mac & the sound jack on the TV right next to the PC In port. Hey...that's it...works like a charm & no complaints. The pic is as clear on the TV as on the 15" Mac...Perfect! There are some less expensive ones out there but if ya want a clear pic, you can't go cheap on cables. Sometimes ya get lucky, but most of the time ya get fuzzy. If you've read this far, you're obsessive compulsive like me...get a life! Sorry...couldn't help myself. I research waaaa toooo much! Hope it helps!

Great product. If you have a VGA port on your TV (15 pin), and your computer isn't DVI. This is for you. A plus for a monitor replacement. I am enjoying my PC in full thearatical sound.

Works reall well from my EVGA 8800GT to my Toshiba 720p 37" LCD. Has to get a little audio connector for the TV, to go from the 3.5mm stereo to the red/white RCA sockets (MyCabelMart [BB-CC399FM] $2.65). Picture is perfect, was worried I should have bought a DVI to HDMI cable but heard people had issues with them. This solution has worked out great.
