5.0 out of 5 stars 720p 15 Aug 2008
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
This cable works fine for my PS3 on a Samsung monitor. It can't handle 1080 though, just 720p. The image is very sharp though, no problems with blurring at all. Sound is pumped out with both split(red & white) jacks and a combined jack if your sound system needs that instead, so no worries there either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 2 Jun 2008
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Used to use a VGA box for playing my Wii on a PC monitor, but it blurred the picture and would only work in 50hz. This cable produces a crystal clear image, runs at 480p and 60hz.

I've read a few comments about the image blacking out for a second once in a while and I've come across the problem, but only when I'm playing imported NTSC games. My PAL games all work perfectly.

I tested the cable on a PS3 too, it took a while to get it set up, but once I did, it ran perfectly. Well worth the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars TV required! 17 Jan 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
Firstly, I am a european customer so these comments may only apply to normal european equipment..

You actually need a TV set in order to set this thing up (because you need to plug the wii into a tv and do some on screen setup to change its video output to a mode comaptible with this cable.)

Also, I can confirm that the image blacks out for a couple of seconds every ten minutes or so when playing ordinary european wii games.

Also, the VGA monitor plug is the wrong sex, a sex changer is included but you will need to modify it by removing some bolts before you can actually use it, and the result is that the VGA cable cannot be screwed into the monitor.

Apart from that the image quality is better than I expected and I am quite pleased with the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working well @ 1080 on PS3 and DGM monitor :) 16 July 2009
Just thought i would do my review as was sceptical this cable would work for me to hook my PS3 up to cheap DGM 24" monitor, i neednt have worried as after connecting up and following instructions on box its all working well at 1080i :)
As others have said you do need to connect PS3 initally to BOTH your normal TV via the composite/phono and you VGA monitor to perform the setup in PS3 menu, also lead isnt very long so they need to be next to each other ot have a phono extension lead, once setup is done you can move monitor back to normal place as you dont need to keep connected to TV which i was worried you might of. All good once setup :D

Thanks
Ian

4.0 out of 5 stars Works just fine 17 Dec 2008
By Rich
Sets up quickly and easily if you follow the instructions on the back of the box. You will need access to a regular TV (not necessarily HDTV) for the very first time to switch the Wii output to 480p using this cable. After that it works fine on a regular monitor. You may need to tell your monitor not to warn you that you aren't at optimum resolution but that's because the output may not be at the max resolution for your monitor.

I found the colours not as bright as the TV but that may also be just because the monitor colours are set bright enough (or the TV was too bright)

Seems to work well and I am very happy with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works for some games... 13 Jan 2009
Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
Works fine for the wii fit, wii sports etc. However, when playing mario kart, I experienced the (mentioned in other reviews) split second screen black out now and then. Annoying, and obviously a problem in fast games like that.

No idea why this happens, but I'm seeking an alternative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for Wii on PC-monitor 9 Dec 2008
Works fine for playing Wii on a PC-monitor. I have Wii Fit with PAL only, but there's no problem and the image quality is good.
Just one drawback: When using Wii, you need a TV or a PC with videoinput to set up the box. It's necessary only once, but Wii does not detect the video settings automatically. If you absolutely have no TV or video equipment, you have to ask your friends or neighbours for a one time usage...

4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it should, but not necessarily what you'd want
It's a cable for connecting a Wii to a PC monitor. It does that. What it doesn't do, however, is make the Wii graphics any better - don't expect nice, crisp emulator-style visuals. Read more
