Cheap enough but you get what you pay for. The cable is too thin and caused ghosting on my monitor!

Ghosting was unbearable on my 17″ monitor when plugged into this extension. Did a little research and found the product information for this F2N025-06 cable on the Belkin Website. The last bullet item states: “NOTE: Will only work on monitors smaller than 17 inches.” Sure wish I had seen this information on the Belkin site before I wasted my time and money.

Hey – my first review! Go me. Anyway, I bought this cable for about $10 at Staples today, after blowing off one at Radio Shack for $25. This was to extend the reach of a new 19″ Dell LCD (analog). I get horrible ghosting and some twitchy text. I tested the monitor (with a normal cable) on my laptop, and it looks great – I tested it again on the laptop with this extension cable in between, and the ghosting came back. I guess you get what you pay for – the Radio Shack one (I forget the brand, but it wasn’t the house brand – maybe 3M?) was super thick. I think I’ll just order a high-quality 10′ male-male cable with the shielding the other poster referred to. Sorry Belkin, this one’s a dud.

Certainly does the job – they’re not as durable as I might like, but if you’re assembling a server rack or otherwise in need of a number of monitor extension cables, you could do worse than this. I bought five and I’m happy with them – you’re not paying for the Monster Cable kind of durability. I haven’t seen any ghosting or other problems, even in a fairly crowded server rack, although I can understand why the other reviewer would find that to be a problem!

This product produces horrible ghosting – why they would make it, I do not know. A total waste of money, unconscionable.

This cable was what I needed to hook up my laptop to my big screen DLP HDTV. It has VGA males at both ends and also a stereo mini headphone plug, just the type that plugs into the headphone jack of my laptop and input of my TV.

I looked all over for cables to connect my PC to my television, but could only find either cables without the sound connection or cables that cost twice as much or more than these for a much shorter run.

I have friends that have had the same experience so I turned them on to these.

So, I would definitely recommend them. They do exactly what they are supposed to do at a great price.

This is perfect. It really is everything I need for expanding my PC to my HDTV. In fact it’s sharper than I thought it would be. The selling point for me was the price for the length of cord.

The clarity is just what you’d expect, great. Of our four computers, none does true HD, so having a SVGA is just fine, though I’d be willing to make a fair sized wager that having a SVGA cable has no impact on HD output. One of my computers (with a nvidia card) correctly identified the TV and the TV’s native resolution and outputed accordingly.

If you’re comparing this to a HDMI cable, the only two issues with the cable have to do with the equipment capabilities on either end. Mainly, the computer I use with the TV doesn’t have the correct resolution where a HDMI cable is going to output the correct 1080. Secondly, the TV will only take a stereo input with the PC input thus won’t pass surround sound from the TV to the receiver. (this is a big issue, if directly connected from PC to receiver all of the sound will be off by the time it takes the TV to properly render the video image. Drives me nuts.)

Pros:

Not HDMI.

Ridiculously cost effective.

Every ‘not mac’ I’ve seen has a SVGA out.

Cons:

None with the cable.

I bought this to hook my HDTV up to a computer across the room to be able to stream internet source video to the TV. The picture quality is HD with my video card. I use the built in speakers on my tv, so the audio is just fine for my needs. It would be nice if the audio had a pass through jack on one end of the cable, but for the price, I can’t complain.
