Worked perfectly for me and Ive no fancy pc
(5 out of 5) by T Kaz on Jan 11, 2009 (USA)I purchased this to split my monitor connection to my vizio lcd tv monitor input so I could watch netflix instant view and other things on my tv screen instead of my pc.
My tv isnt far from the pc tower, I understand if you have to go too far it will degrade, mine did not, I purchased this with (Cables To Go - 43098 - 25ft HD15 M/M UXGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio (Black))And it was very easy to hook up to the output on the tower for both pc monitor and the 25 foot cable to tv input.
I wasnt sure it would work after reading reviews for this, but it does and its awesome. I spent a small amt on something that some will pay 2 or 300 for to be already in the lcd tv.
VIP NOTE: you must have everything connected at both ends (not ness'the audio) to see how your screens (both) will appear, at first half way through w/ out the tv end done I thought oh no degradation but it was fine after connecting everything and filling all connections.
If you find you have the right connectors on the tower and tv this will work great but I wouldnt go much longer then I did incase it degrades.
My pc is two years old (pre vista) so its not as fast as the vista machines had to be yet it runs it fine, I think my pc has a pre installed nivida card?
Anyway it works great do some googling and find out whats needed and if this is it, it works fine ;O)

NEED HIGH END GRAPHICS CARD
(1 out of 5) by Brent D. Otte on May 15, 2007In order for this product to work with both your monitor and a television you need a high output graphics card (around $400) would have been nice if they tell you this. Now I have to send it back and pay my own shipping and handeling

degrades signal
(2 out of 5) by Mark Drogos on Jul 22, 2009 (Chicago, Ill. USA)product is nice idea, but only for short cable lengths. I have one monitor on a 25' extension cable and when plugged into splitter both displays go bad - wavey & distorted images and loss of brightness. Buying a powered video extender instead. At least this wasn't super expensive item - one more thing to put in the junk drawer for another time.
Works GREAT!
(5 out of 5) by Infamous Savior on Jul 8, 2009I was worried that the display for my monitor was going to lose resolution but it didn't. Great price, works well and arrive sooner then later.
Pretty neat adapter
(5 out of 5) by G. Moore on Apr 27, 2009 (Selah, Wa.)This is a well built adapter with good quality connectors. Works good for sending 1 signal 2 places, but does NOT send 2 signals to 1 place. Oh well, gambled and lost. But for a couple of bucks, it was worth the chance.
