Home > Consumer Reviews > Cables To Go - 25246 - 8in Econo HD15M to (2) Female SVGA Y-Cable

This cable works okay, but note that the brightness of both monitors will be cut in half. This works fine if the brightness is already turned down, but on a dim monitor, it might not work to well.

It got three stars because it "works." I used it to split to my 42" HDTV and the picture quality was perfect. But, the quality of the picture on my 17" LCD computer monitor shows noticeable signal degradation. This might be due to the cable. Or, this could be due to the fact I split the signal. Or, as a comp. programmer friend of mine suggested, my video card is just not strong enough (all i have is a standard Dell). So this cable works, the price is right, but I don't know whether my signal issues are due to the cable or my computer. Whatever the case is, this product won't break the bank if you're just trying it out.

PS - This product will NOT give you two desktops!! It will just duplicate the one you have. You need a special video card if you want that feature.

I received the splitter in two days with no issues. The splitter allowed me to connect a flat screen TV to my older PC for doing presentations in our conference room.

I've got a small flatpanel over my treadmill that I wanted to run off the same computer as my main work monitor, and I bought this to split the signal. The resolution is fine. I can watch movies over the flatpanel while I'm on the treadmill, but the signal to the main monitor is so dim it is really useless for anything other than writing reviews like this, so I've ended up buying a VGA extender/amplifier, and this thing goes into the spare cable bin.

It is really good products much cheaper than stores and i recieved in 2 days which is awesome.

I bought other stuff from Amazon now also because you get good rates as well fast delivery service.

Thanks Amazon
