  • will this work for non hdcp monitor

  • @frenchbook ofcourse the only cable that uses the hdcp crap is hdmi

  • Do u Need a T.v?!

  • I got this cable for my wii and I have no issues with it. No black screens at all. Only thing that bothers me is the fact that it doens't work for gamecube games (pls correct me if I'm wrong, because I tried only one game - maybe I can fix that by changing some options??)

    I have an LG monitor if that helps anyone...

  • Every couple minutes, the screen fades to black for a couple seconds and then reappears again. It's VERY annoying, and I don't know how to fix it. I wonder if this video was longer and the guy played the game a little bit, we'd see the same issue happening.

  • @PD187540 Yeah I know. Same thing happens to me.

  • @DarkDisorder78 I'm gonna live with it though. It's the best I could do right now since I don't see any other options. I'm not sure about the HDMI converters either. I wonder if they have the same problem.

  • @PD187540 Yeah me too.

  • Greetings! Does this cable works on this monitor?

    Input Connector: 15-pin, D-sub

    Digital (DVI-D on selected units)

    Speakers (on selected units)

    Input Signal: VGA (Analog D-sub)

    Digital (DVI-D on selected units)

    Speakers (on selected units)

    My monitor is ACER AL1916W and I heard that this cable doesn't work on DVI but there's other models that says silver colour mine it's a silver one but the product number is different and this product number i have it's VGA :\ a little bit confused.

  • will this work with a ps2 to vga ?

  • i have tested this vga cable and i found out that it comes with an v male plug on it ,now that really sucks becouse that means that you do need another vga cable in order to connect this cable to an monitor/hdtv, wich only makes the signal more sensitive for degradation, ,m meanwtf would they thinking????????????

    yes it works on my will but whatever i only get a 4,3 ratio format even when setting it to 16.6 ratio format,also it only works with wull games etc,,, and NOT with vc games.

  • @johneymute what did i just read? (well, i tried)

  • Comment removed

  • sir can i use this cable to connect my ps3 to vga monitor and will it work perfectly please help me cuz in many videos they say that it wont work for this u need a vga box.wat to do now>

  • thanks man you are a life saver

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks man. I was just messing around with the cable for an hour with no results before watching this

  • I've bought a ps3 vga cable but i cant get it to work. I plug it into m computer screen and it says 'change monitor display input to 1200x1024. Is it my vga cable thats wrong or my monitor? I have a Phillips S190 LCD.

  • @dilanthaman I think your ps3 is trying to output bigger resolution than your monitor can handle (1280x1024).

  • with a vga cable for wii, i can use progressive scan? thx

  • I was about to buy a VGA box but then i watched this video.

    Thanks man!!!

  • hi man i did every thing you did and when i connect my PS3 to my monitor its not clear and a bit of my screen is missing got any clues please help me :(

  • @alizolghadr Hi man i solved all my problems, if you adjust the phase and clock pitch you solved the problem with image and the going to be very clean and beautiful, sorry for my bad english :P seargh in gooogle phase/clock pitch look to a test save the picture test to your ps3 and adjust ;)

  • @alizolghadr to adjust you image go to monitor options and lock for horizonta and vertical position ;)

  • @alizolghadr if you have problems with too much white image, solution is leaving the Green ON RCA cable television or buy a fan with scart input and leave it on the adapter with the ps3 av scart cable

  • if you would want to record gameplay , like a dazzle or ezcap how do u do it?

  • I have an important question, will this work on 2 TV's? like on an LCD monitor and another SDTV?

  • What is better VGA Cable or Component Cable?

  • cant you directly plug it into your monitor, why do you need another cable?

  • @TheMonkeyInDaCloset my monitor supports 1440x900 which one i can use 720 or 1080????

  • great video really helpful thanks

  • @davidkeithbecket did it really work?

  • @rameen007 the one I got from Amazon did yes. You needed to set it so 480p in settings using the single component cable they built into it. No black screens for me on my DGM monitor. Some wii games (about 5 or 6) don't support 480p and didn't work, also the majority of wiiware games and gamecube don't work, everything else fine and I played a lot of games

  • Why is the video cable green like a component cable?

  • did you use a Y splitter vga cable for your pc monitor?

  • Thank you so much for making this video. I searched all over trying to figure out how to connect my Wii to my monitor and no one could do it without some special device. All it took was connecting one cord to a tv and switching the video settings.

  • why does all the good stuff have to be bought online

  • If my monitor's max resolution is 1376x768,then will it be able to display 720p(PS3) ? Please answer,thanks.

  • same screen as me! but i have my xbox hooked up

  • Would this work with an Acer LCD display that has VGA connector (15 or 16 pin D-sub) ? I thought I needed to use the component video cable and an LCD adapter like the HD Box Pro or equivalent? Would there be any advantages to the adapter route?

  • !!!! PLEASE HELP I BAUGHT IT AND EVERYTHING AND WHEN I CONNECT IT

    IT DOSNT WORK IT SAY NOT NUMINUM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

  • Doesn't work for all SAMSUNG LCDs , I have SyncMaster940BF , Fairly old , 2006 , and it shows an analog error "not optimum mode"

  • hey thanks... would it work with the ps3 though...?

  • @NOOBYbenji it works for ps3 i got it of ebay

  • @uzairg5123 great thanks, i just got the cable and it works fine, thanks to @prestonwilly.

  • what about pc .

  • does the picture on the wii look good as sdtv?

  • dude, thanks for showing us step by step on how to change the resolution and then the wii will work. Been looking everywhere for the answer you just gave. good job

  • I just bought this cable hoping to play my Wii through the screen on my Asus EEE PC 1005P netbook. I set up the wii console to the computer settings through a normal TV but i have no idea how i get it to display on the netbook screen?!?! It just stays the same on the browser.

    Anyone know what to do???

  • @SimcityHunter Hey I think that netbook only has a VGA out, not a VGA IN. It's actually very rare for netbooks or laptops to have a VGA or RCA input

  • hwy i have Samsung 24' and i use the VGA Cable. and HDTV - Widescreen settings on my Wii, and i managed to get all the borders nicely lined up.

    1) picture is not crystal clear and is a little bit blurry

    2) graphics in games is poor (Jagged edges in all games)

    3) Screen flickers from time to time (go to black screen for 1-2 secs and comes back)

    Any idea ?

  • @JurisL85 same problem here

  • @herrenschuhhh so... what do you think you gonna do about it ? any ideas ?

  • can it work on a ps2? PLEASE REPLY SOON.

  • The one I got two years ago was an "etronix mart" Comp. to vga converter. It looks like a fairly cheesy thing, without eeven a power ON OFF switch, made in China. But I have had it for two years and it still works fine on my LG 22 inch computer monitor.

  • Before that though, I got a "High Box" from ebay for about 40 bucks or so. it was basically a powered component video to VGA converter. It could accept both 480i and 480p which is important. Because a lot of old Gamecube games are 480i, even when played on the Wii, and some of the non-powered component to VGA converters only work with 480p signals, so you get a blank screen with 480i (Like Resident Evil for the GC for instance.)

  • It is better to get the VD-W3 Wii HDMI Upscaler Processor from vdigi dot com. The VD-W3 enhances the color, makes the pic slightly sharper by upscaling to 480p, 720 i/p, or 1080 i/p. It also changes the vid and sound to HDMI.

  • Does the monitor need to be connected to a pc? or can u just have the monitor???

  • Hi! I bought this cable for my wii and my Dell ST2310 23'' LCD, which supports 640x480, and did exactly the same you did there, changed my wii to 480p and everything, and still get flickrs and really bad quality at all times, it also tries permanently to resize the screen. Any ideas on what should i do? Thanks!

  • lmao u sound like seth rogen = ]

  • lol they forgot xbox 360

  • I need that cable for my wii so bad.

  • this also works for ps3 am i right

  • yes

    25" HP

  • Is your computer screen is HD?

  • @sim4496 every screen is HD even the old once

  • Can you do one for PS3 aswell please.

  • how do you get sound . i have speakers and im not getting any sound > :P

  • how did you get it to full screen mine has only the middle part

  • Cool video guy, but you left out the part where the screens blacks out every 30 seconds.

    This thing is a waste of time and money. Nobody buy this, please.

  • whare can i buy this cable..... thank u

  • @felixcruz1000 Ebay i got mind from a top rated seller with free shipping for around 20$. Also , amazon might have it to but i didnt look.

  • my cable has a flickering problem and cuts out every now and again.

  • @adrianchen19888 same here dude

    it keep flicking and eventually loses signal!

  • hey i just bought this for my ps3 and i was wondering because someone told me that if i used something like this without a converter box, i would ruin my screen or ps3's ability to have high quality resolutions

  • where do you plug the green cable if you are using the ps3... nowhere right???

  • I was wondering how to get audio on the wii after hooking up the cables to the monitor.

  • Does anybody know if this cable will work with the PS2 to vga??

    Wanting to buy one but not sure, will definetly buy one if it does work on PS2.

  • @whitesideskill yes but only with ps2 games with 480p support

  • OK i bought it . when i plug everithing it says"Out of range 15.6/ 60Hz (or 50 if my configuration on wii is set on it) " On television i cant set it on EDTV or HDTV . Is there any way i can set it on EDTV/HDTV ?? or how to fix th "Out of range" thing?

    PLEASe REPLY ANYBODY

  • i bought this exact cord and my monitor keeps flashing every 30 seconds, Auto Adjustment in progress. It interupts me every time...and theres no option to turn the auto adjustment off on my monitor

  • How does this quality compare to using a Component cable on a tv? The monitor I have just so happens to be the same as the one in the video. And I have my wii on my HDTV using component atm, would like it on my monitor. If its comparable this is such an affordable solution

  • @kadacrow3 actually this cable have a internal component to rgb converter so its the same quality of a normal component cable

  • Dude! I wonder if that cable will work on my Hannspree 23" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor! this monitor display full HD to 1080p! will it work with that! please some one tell me because I'm getting tired of the crappy visuals of a regular old TV!

  • I'm using a 24" 1920x1200 resolution monitor with my wii, it actually looks like the exact same model you are using in the demo. I put the wii into edtv/hdtv as shown and then when it goes to my monitor display, the resolution looks absolutely terrible. It is seriously bad quality, with pixelation a real problem. Is there a solution to this as the quality looks decent oin your video?

  • Thanks. This has helped me.

  • You are the man! After months of giving up on the cable I finally wanted to play the wii again and was frustrated not having it on the monitor at the same time as my pc, ps3, and 360. After watching this I got it working, wish there was instructions in the packaging when i got this, or better yet just have it link to this video lol...

  • I have a PC monitor that does not support HDCP and it does not feature a DVI input, will this cable work on my monitor? Thanks!

  • do you need to have a HD TV to play it on the monitor with HD resolution?I have on really old TV, and that's why i want to play wii games on my monitor...my tv has only 50,60 Hertz , it doesn't have any HD settings...so will i be able to play HD on my monitor using this cable?

  • How much is it??? Please respond. 5/5 stars.

  • is this cable good for ps3?

    i have heared they come always for 3-5 seconds blackscreen, is this true?

    i want this conect with my ps3, dont wii.

  • but my monitor doesn need hdcp or does it need it?

  • @Smikefliege

    no, it doesn't need HDCP.

    the whole purpose of this cable is to be used in non HDCP compatible monitors/TV's. :)

  • you solved my problem. thanks!!!!

  • What samsung monitor are you using. Looks similar to mine.

  • can i get this cable @ a local store like best buy ect ect?

  • can i get this at a local store??

  • HEYYY

  • Hi!

    I have this cable, it works great!

    But i have a problem. i can't seem to play ps1 games from the ps store through the cable.

    can someone help me?

    thanks!

  • Does the cable work on 1080i or 1080p? Playstation one game's use a rgb signal.. Not compatible with a vga monitor..

  • does that even work with my cathode ray tube?

    it would be awesome if it would

  • K looked at all the reviews and bought one of these for my ps3. Using a old viewsonic va902b. You must use the green connector on your old tv and change the setting to 480p. Only check 480p for now. (You can probably go higher later. Notice it a bit blurry but not too bad.) Then connect the vga to your lcd monitor. You should get a picture after that. I also notice that the picture flickers once and awhile. Not sure if there is a solution. It could be the frequency on your monitor.

  • dang it, so we need to set to a normal tv before we plug it to a monitor right?

    is it true if we play gamecube games it'll reset back to a 480i?

  • can i use any component -> vga adapter to play wii on lcd monitor?

  • so, all i gotta do is to buy one of those cables, connect it to the wii, adjust the resolution, connect it to my monitor and it works ? does it lag ?

  • Does this cable work with a old crt monitor? so i wont have to use my lcd monitor.

  • no. you will need a female-female vga adaptor for it to work

  • mine works good on my NEC LCD1712 monitor. works great for 480p up to 1080i for ps3. wii looks good on 480 definitely a good buy

  • i carnt set my tv to 480p, lowest is 576p coz its a hd tv i do what u do an it works on 720p for the ps3 but it looks like crap like seriously its like the shitest res and it wont even full screen =[

  • hi i was wondering if i could get full hdif i connect my ps3 with this cable because i have a23inch acer screen that is full hd but only has a vga port.thanks in advance

  • Do you have an Samsung T260? Cause I have one and I have the same VGA cable only my output looks kinda bad. Its quite blurry and does not fill up my screen. I do have it on 480p (before that it would not work).

  • Do you have to change the reselution? I have a wii and no tv. Can I change it on the computer monitor?

  • I'm thinking of purchasing one of these cables. My Sony Bravia doesn't lag when I plug my laptop into it with a VGA cable, but it does lag when I plug in my wii with composite cables. Will this product help with lag?

  • Hi, nice video. I have BENQ T905.. not support HDCP.

    Does I need to suport HDCP to work ???

    I realy want to buy it...

    help

  • @Boholiub

    The PS3/Wii treats the VGA like a component cable so the monitor does not need HDCP support to work.

  • Can you show how to connect Ps3 too? I have the same cable and SyncMaster 2233SN.

  • Can you configure the Wii to output 480p on an old SDTV that doesn't support 480p? I know my TV can't do the progressive scan thing, but I just want to know if the settings will be saved, because I'm going to be using my LCD PC monitor afterall.

    P.S. I only have an old cheapo SDTV, lol. The reason I don't have an HDTV is because I don't really watch TV at all and the shows I do watch, I watch them on my PC ;)
