Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of StarTech.com 25-Feet Coax High Resolution VGA Monitor Cable - HD15 M/M (MXT101MMHQ25)
Customer Review: Works as expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this cable to replace another whose internal braiding partially failed after a year of use (although I expect this was due to some poor handling on my part). The failure resulted in all images being heavily tinted green, and although this was fine for my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles marathons, regular humans didn't look so great (although Titanic becomes a hilarious comedy with Leonardo DiCaprio suffering from constant seasickness).
At the price, however, it was easy for me to justify a new purchase and knock off a single star for durability. The 25-foot length is more than enough to comfortably display video on my TV while still having my laptop close at hand. I'd recommend the product for purchase knowing that you get good video quality for a low price.
Customer Review: StarTech 25ft Coax SVGA Monitor/TV Cable is GREAT
Summary: 4 Stars
This 25ft Coax SVGA Monitor Cable Hddb15m/hddb15 does a great job. I purchased it to connect my Gateway Lamptop to my 52" Toshiba Flat Television. It it crystal clear. and provides the highest video quality possible. StarTech.com coaxial VGA cables eliminate picture "ghosting" and fuzzy images inherent to non-coaxial cables, and provide superior EMI interference protection by using ferrite cores near the connector ends. The only thing that I don't like is you need another cable for sound.
Ideal for high resolution monitors (1024x768 and above)
Overall it does a FANTASTIC JOB as far as the video is concerned and is a GREAT Price on Amazon!
Customer Review: Overrated cable
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this cable because of the high reviews it received on amazon. I was going to use it to connect my laptop to my 24" lg lcd monitor. But at 1900x1200 this cable's image reproduction was far worse than the default cable I received with the monitor. There was a slight flickering to the images, and yes I double-checked to make sure the connections were secure.
Also, in the image it shows that there is a ferrite core at each end of the cable. But there is only one ferrite core on one end of the cable that I received. This also makes it worse than the default monitor cable I received which has one on both ends.
Customer Review: Only Temporary
Summary: 2 Stars
I also originally bought this cable based on the good reviews.
For me the quality of the picture was not the issue initially, but how long the cable works correctly.
The first few months the cable worked fine and I was able to use my LCD TV as another monitor for my laptop.
However over time something had gotten loose and now the picture is green. So I am guesing one of the color cables.
Mind you I am not hard on the cable and I actually never moved it after it was hooked up.
So you get what you pay for I suppose.
Decent but probably will not last you very long.
Customer Review: Serves the purpose
Summary: 5 Stars
The cable serves its purpose and I use it to connect my laptop to my 37" Samsung LCD. There is no visible loss in quality though I found that HDMI cables give better resolution.
However if your laptop does not have an HDMI output this is a very good option. When I got the cable I was afraid that for 25ft this cable would not work (like my earlier cable), but I decided to go for it because of the good reviews. It works well if you want to connect the TV to a source far away. Try going for a shorter cable, if your requirements allow you to as the signal integrity would be better.
