Customer Reviews

Four stars now (updated review)
The earlier reviews were encouraging but I expected to have trouble. Sure enough, I couldn't get any sort of picture or sound. For all I know, the cables may be worth 5 stars but what do you award if nothing happens?
For a start, the instructions (such as they are) are not in English and there's nothing about what you need at the computer end. My tv has a D-sub 15-pin connector but my PC has only one video socket.
A phone call to the supplier didn't solve the problem; he said the tv's PC connection only works with laptops anyway (not sure that's true). He said I should change the display properties in Control Panel to allow for tv as well as monitor but I could find only the option of an extra monitor and that doesn't work.
Now I've found a website that pointed me in the right direction. I needed a Y-splitter at the computer end to take the s-video lead. Then I did, indeed, need to go to the display properties and enable the TV connection (this varies according to video card). Having got the picture, I then found I could get sound by putting the pin into the headphone socket. Now I want to award four stars

Works well, very easy to use but you need a HDTV
Got this from Amazon as it was a bargain compared to places like PC World or Maplin (costs circa £25). Delivered next day, long cables, solid finish, no manual but you don't need one. If you are (like me) looking to set up a 'digital living room' at home with the PC hooked up to the TV and wireless keyboard/remote, you should really have a HDTV or large TFT monitor. I've got one of those bulky Toshibas and managed to connect to my HP media center laptop, very straigtforward but the picture quality is nowhere near as good as on the laptop, to do with screen type I guess, if you opened a word document or a web page it's impossible to read anything, it's just about good enough for watching movies. Hoping for some good HDTV deals on Xmas now...

It all works but you might need a s-video to component adapter!
This product works for some people fine, generally with newer TVs. I have an old 28" CRT running off a ATI 9700 and I got a B&W picture.

Black and white B&W PICTURE FIXED with an s-video to component video adapter! Found for about £3 inc P&P Just plug the TVend of the S-video cable into the adapter then plug the adapter with the component end into the available yellow video component port in the scart adapter.
The color was a bit low but I turned it up on the TV set and SORTED!!!
