After buying a new tv and having trouble with S-video, only getting a black and white display, and being told to use a VGA cable, i noticed the tv did not have a VGA port so got fed up trying to find other ways to hook up my laptop to the tv i decided to get a different hd tv, which did have a VGA port, after a little waiting for the tv to arrive to make sure it did have the VGA port, i then ordered this cable, it was delivered very quickly, plugged it up and was very happy, a beautiful sharp coloured picture. Exactly what we needed for my partner to play his pc games on the tv in our bedroom and to watch videos from the computer, very good price, recommended to anyone needing a cheap and easy way to hook up computer to TV.
