VGA to RGB Cable Male - Male (1.8m)

I bought this cable for connecting my Western Digital WD TV Live Network-ready HD Media Player WDBAAN0000NBK-NESN to my projector which doesn't support HDMI connections, but displays my computer sharply via VGA connection. I had to acquire 3 female-to-female RCA couplers to go between the WDTV component cable and this "VGA to RCA Component RGB Cable", but well worth it. The picture comes out amazing sharp, no frequency "waves" or interference of any kind. I must add that it did not work (that is, it displayed everything in hues of green) with my Sony DVD player, which has RGB-BW component connection (thats RED,GREEN,BLUE,BLACK,WHITE for the folks at home), not the simple three-connector component cable on the WDTV, which is just RED,GREEN,BLUE. I would think that is works with any RGB-component device that doesn't have/use the additional Black/White connectors.

2-3-2013 RevA.I was worried about weather this cable was gonna work. In my case it worked fine...I have a Sony 32in LCD TV that has one RGB INPUT, one composite, and several HDMI.And My DVR (RePlayTV) has RGB OUTPUT. It supports both types of Video RGB that is possible (and composite). I chose the YPbPr_ANSI video specify type.If you having troubles, check the type of video your trying to connect to, they are all different and are-not-compatible with each other (in order of quality):You should Google the first word, and what you looking for...-- HDMI. (HD TV: 720p, 1080p etc), had audio, video, data, remote control, and more. Its USB-looking, instead of the RCA round cables connectors.-- DVI. Digital Video. Usually is a White Computer cable there are different type. NO AUDIO is carried at all. You will need a Red and White RCA cable the sound.-- RGB. YPbPr and RGB, AKA Component video. This is the kind that has 3 cables that are, Red, Green, and Blue. NO AUDIO is carried at all. You will need a Red and White RCA cable the sound.-- Video cable. See RGB. Usually is a Blue Computer Cable. NO AUDIO is carried at all. You will need a Red and White RCA cable the sound.-- S-Video. Separates the video signals for better picture quality. NO AUDIO is carried at all. You will need a Red and White RCA cable the sound.-- Composite Video. Has just one cable. It usually yellow. Some times is mistaken with RGB, because its usually combined with two other cables, a RED and a White, for the Right and left audio channels. You will need a Red and White RCA cable the sound, if you have the single yellow RCA connector...BTW. They make a box called an Upscalier, that will take Component, composite or S-Video and Audio in, and turn it into HDMI. Careful, to look for what you have, to what it converts, often the search engines will provide the OPPOSITE of what your looking for...Good Luck...

This item only works on a tv that is set up to receive it's specific signal. The one's that accept this signal will have a vga port all ready installed. This cable is intended for a converter box that cost over $200.00 "based on my research." If you are trying to find a cheap way to get you vga signal to your tv as I was then this is NOT FOR YOU! Even if you do spend the money on the converter it still wont be the same signal as a tv with a vga port. Please don't waste your time with this.

I needed a cable to connect video equipment to an older TV that had an HD input with a VGA-style connector. The TV has a user-controllable setting for interpreting the input from that VGA-style connector as either RGB (computer-style) or component video (YPbPr). I wanted to send component video into this connector, and this cable was perfect. The signal quality is great, and the price can't be beat. Unlike some of the other reviews here, I wasn't expecting a VGA-to-component converter, and got just what I expected.Also, I should mention that UnitedIntegral (the vendor on Amazon I got mine from) provided great customer service. They offered free shipping, but the cable I ordered didn't show up (no tracking number, since it was sent USPS). I e-mailed them about it through Amazon, and in only a few hours had received a reply resolving the issue--they shipped a second cable immediately and I had it in about two business days.

ok guys, i tried to connect it to t.v and laptop but its doesnt work, i wasted my money, i wish i would have gone to best buy or home depot to get this cable.... not a best buy for sure this one...

When hooking this cable up from a computer vga to your tv rgb you will need to note that the video settings on your computer will affect the digital picture that is transferred through the cable. Typically your screen resolution is set to maximize picture quality and performance on your computer ex 1200x800. Using your graphics settings you can change this output to a resolution your television understands. If the resolution is incorrect for your tv, your tv simply doesnt understand how to make the picture fit so thus it will not display the picture. For those who have problems, try adjusting the screen resolution your computer outputs. Note if you use a laptop this may change the display on your lcd while you have the cable attached because your graphics card can only handle a specific combination of video modes between its own screen and the other one.This IS NOT for those of you who wish to connect the old school Yellow Red and White rca cables. The yellow is the video and the red and white are left and right for your audio. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS RGB, AUDIO DOES NOT COME OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER VGA PLUS YOU MAY DAMAGE ONE OR BOTH OF THE DEVICES IF YOU TRY TO USE THE INCORRECT CABLES.RGB is SPECIFICALLY for HD, being that each cable is an individual video output which allows for a better picture quality.A SEPARATE cable is necessary in order for you to transmit audio from your computer to your tv.
