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...

Ok, I am basically going to sum this all up. If you have a laptop, or pc, and would like to connect it to a tv. It works. People are just mad on here cus they got jipped from their own lack of knowledge. They all seem to have RCA inputs, which is Yellow, Red, and White. If that is what you have, dont buy this. BUT if you have a RGB input, buy this :D I bought this not reading the reviews, then went back just to see how long the cable was, and out of curiosity. Then I was pretty worried...Butt, after getting it, it worked. Yah, there inst audio, but I had a cord to complete that. You can go to the 99 cent store n get one there that will work off your headphone jack to the tv. easy as that. But if it doesn't work with that, then just call the company that makes your computer, and they will tell you that your computer does support it, you just need to edit some settings. This is technology. If you have they connections available to go from one thing to the other, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO GET IT TO WORK! I would know this, I take tech to extreme lengths as my job. haha.

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.

This is a VGA to RGB, the RCA component in it's listing is misleading. I thought it was a VGA to component video. It is not. I do not know if it works as VGA to RGB, I did not test it. It does not work as a cable to take VGA out of a computer to the component input of a television. I thought it would since the title has component in it. Again, I thought that was misleading. However, the price was great and the delivery was super fast.
