Review by D. Valovcin for VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video
Rating:
Despite the negative reviews I bought one of these. I thought, “These people probably don’t know what they’re doing I’ll be fine.” I tried the cable with my laptop which was the reason I bought it and, like others, my laptop said it couldn’t find an external monitor. I have used the vga on my monitor to connect directly to my HDTV before just fine so I knew it should work. I tried using the s-video end as well as the RCA end (trying both the yellow cable and connecting all three despite the fact that VGA doesn’t transmit audio) both with no luck.

The only 5 star review for this product says that you need to support TV Out (my laptop does) and that you need software (my laptop should). Taking my testing one step further I tried to use this product with my GTX260 a fairly new graphics card on my desktop computer and it still did not work.

I think I can confidently say that this product (and possibly all similar products) does not work. There are only two slightly positive reviews for this product and neither of them provide any form of helpful information for how to get it to work. I think amazon should remove the product from the website as it does not work for the majority of purchasers, if at all.
