These are some of the worst VGA cables I've ever bought. Granted, they're only about $14 each, but wow. I have used them all or 1-2 times and they are all bad. I bought 10 pieces! all are either completely broken (no signal) or halos or the paint in them is already broken. . So much so that I won't even ask for a replacement. I will consider my $100+ as lost money and move on. Do not buy these cables! avoid at all costs!
