I was using a generic VGA cord as a display out to my Proscan TV from the laptops VGA out and was experiencing faint horizontal lines or bars scrolling up the screen. The monoprice vga cable fixed my horizontal scrolling lines on my tv.
Very satisfied with the product. It is slim, well designed, works as expected and comes with a reasonable price. I would definitely purchase another one (just to have an extra cable).
Slim design fits easily in laptop bag. Allows simply hook up to vga port on projectors for powerpoint presentations. Decent picture quality - some loss over bulkier cables but gets the job done.
Nice cable, flexible. I hate those stiff cables that get in the way and are difficult to work with. This one does the job very unobtrusively. I design cables for other products so I appreciate a well designed cable.
The thumb screws are made of "pot metal" or such, rather than steel. Thumbscrews will break off when slightly cross-threaded (that happened to me). The expectation for these thumbscrews is that they would be made of material similar to what they are being screwed-into: the VGA port nuts on the computer or monitor. While I will use these cables cautiously in-house now that I have them and knowing their low quality, I will not use them on other peoples' systems and will seek a different cable next time. This review applies to both PIDs 6359 and 6369 that I purchased (and likely holds for all the cables in the product line).
PROS: Slim cable is easier to work with and puts less stress on ports. Available in various lengths.
CONS: Hardware (the thumb screws) quality is extremely low (unacceptably low).
Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about your experience with PID 6359. We do offer a 30 day return policy as well as a lifetime warranty on our cables. If you would like, I can assist you in setting up an RMA for a replacement, which will be of no additional cost. Please let me know if you would like to continue with a replacement and I can get that started for you right away.

Rated 3 out of 5
Standard Quality
Standard quality of video signal video not as sharp as with another VGA cable I own, which has very thick insulation, but similar to those that typically come with monitors
PROS: Less extra cable for nearby monitor
CONS: Could be better, but par with "standard" cables
We used this cable for a portable projector, so the cable was removed and packed up after each time it was used. After a few months, some of the colors would drop out of the image, and wiggling the cable around the connector would sometimes bring the picture back to normal. This cable is light and flexible, but if you plan to disconnect it and pack it up frequently, it may not be durable enough for you.
PROS: Light, flexible, compact
CONS: Not as durable as a heavier cable, signal degrading with frequent handling.
