The question isn't as simple as sumarized in the header. It is this : I needed a longer VGA cable to connect my laptop tothe TV. When I got it (15') it worked fine. Then after switching the TV back to cable I returned to the VGA input and the TV (LG) wouldn't give me the option to select this as an input. After some messing around, I plugged in the old VGA (2') into the TV (not connected to the laptop) and instantly the TV reconized a VGA input and gave me the option. I selected it and then immediately swapped the cable for the new one. Everything was fine again until I changed out of VGA mode, and again the option was not available (TV couldn't 'See' the VGA input). The only difference I can physically see in the cables (apart from length) is that the short one has what appear to be two coils(?) one just past the plug on each end (Inerference supressors?) and thats it. It sill doesn't explain why it could see the cable for several days and now disowns it! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
