Customer Review: Internet TV
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to split the VGA signal from our laptop to our plasma TV and a small LCD computer monitor in another room. Like others, I wasted a little money trying a standard VGA splitter 'Y' cable first. This might work if you wanted to split a VGA signal between two small monitors. In our case the monitor got perfect signal but the TV picture was ghosted and horrible. I knew we needed a powered VGA splitter, so I was glad I had bookmarked the Cables To Go 29550.
This was a snap to set up and worked immediately to feed both our TV and monitor. The only small snafu I encountered was that I couldn't get our 42" TV and 17" computer monitor to play nicely together in resolution requirements. To get the best picture on our tv, the laptop's display settings for the "external monitor" need to be 1280 x 768. I guess because the laptop sees the splitter as a single device, if the TV and monitor don't share native resolutions then one or the other will suffer. I futzed around with the laptop's display settings trying to find a happy medium, before I settled on feeding the TV the proper resolution since we watch that more. The monitor's picture is beautiful, just slightly elongated.
Anyway, I THINK that's what's going on...If anyone has another suggestion I'd love to hear it.
Our setup:
XP laptop --> Cables to Go 29550 powered VGA splitter -->
1) HD15 SVGA Monitor Extension Cable, Male to Female with Ferrite Bead 1 ft --> Component video (YPbPr) / VGA To HDMI Converter With Auto Up-scale --> 42" plasma TV
2) RiteAV - SVGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio - 10 ft. --> RiteAV - VGA Coupler / Gender Changer Female-Female --> 17" lcd computer monitor
Sure, it's a lot of work to figure it out and cable it up, and we can't watch all our favorite shows immediately. But we enjoy being pioneers in DIY internet tv, especially since it's saving us $70/month in satellite fees!
