Low quality, low cost cable
(1 out of 5) by Ken Zalewski on Feb 7, 2000 (Troy, NY)This is a cheap cable in both cost and quality. When connected between my Voodoo3 3000 card and my Mag Innovision DX17F monitor, the picture quality was poor, with severe "ghosting" of the screen. This cable does not have the cylinders on each end as most monitor cables do. I assume the lack of these cylinders is what causes the degradation in signal quality.

Very cheap cable
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Sep 12, 2000I wouldn't say this is cheap in price considering the quality. It should have been $1.99. Severe ghosting on a Gateway VX1120 through a LinkSys PS2KVM4 switch running two DELLS, and two GATEWAYS with two machines running SUSE LINUX. Horrible reception for every single machine. What a waste of money.

Use on High Res LCD monitor

Don't buy. Lots of ghosting, missing ferrite cores at the cable ends.
(1 out of 5) by Dhruv on Apr 6, 2008 (Dallas, TX)I didn't realize it was a problem with this cable until I switched to another one with the ferrite cores at the ends. I had been using this for a few months. It was a world of difference. This cable caused lots of signal interference and the picture was really bad - severly ghosted and fuzzy. Even the LCD monitor's auto adjust functionality went out of whack because of this cable. I have since stopped using the cable and have started using another one as described above. I paid 15 bucks for this at a local store which is daylight robbery. This company should stop selling cables they either don't know how to engineer it or they are deliberately trying to rip off from people who aren't tech savvy. I think its the latter.
Worst VGA cable I've ever used
(1 out of 5) by Michael Geary on Jul 1, 2009 (San Jose, CA)I used this cable to connect my ThinkPad T60p to an NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX at 1600x1200 resolution. The picture looked terrible - it was full of ghost images trailing off to the right.
It was so bad that the MultiSync's Auto Adjust feature would not correctly size the image to fit the screen. It consistently made the picture too narrow by an inch or two.
Apparently the monitor "saw" the ghost images on the right and thought they were supposed to be part of the image, so it shrank the width to allow room for them.
With any decent cable, the T60p puts a nice clear picture on the LCD2070NX, and the Auto Adjust works perfectly.
If I'd read the reviews here I never would have bought this cable, but I was in a local store and needed a spare cable. Next time I'll look up the Amazon reviews on my cellphone!
