5.0 out of 5 stars DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!, April 21, 2011

This review is from: HDMI to VGA HD15 (Male) Cable (Electronics)
What everyone needs to understand here is that you need to research before you buy. This product is not meant to take a digitanl signal and allow you to connect to an analog display, or vica versa. This cable does not do a digital to analog, or analog to digital, converion. Most HDMI devices are going to be digital, while most VGA devices are going to be analog. You cannot connect the two with a cable. You have to actually convert the signal. This cable is meant for the very few devices that can actually output analog from the HDMI connector. This is very rare and you should pretty much always assume your HDMI connection cannot support analog, and your VGA connection cannot support digital.
Do some research on your devices. The manual should tell you what is supported on each connector.
