I bought this VGA cable to connect the Diamond Multimedia VStream Wireless USB PC to TV Adapter with my 42" to connect HDTV. Because I needed an adapter in front of the TV and not behind the TV to allow better wireless connection between the TV and my laptop. So far I haven't had any problems with this cable. Everything on my computer shows up nice and clear on the TV, this VGA cable was a good value and I would buy it again.
