Has anyone used 25' vga cable with laptop and colors are messed up? Are there adjustments to correct or is the cable defective?

I had no problems using this cable to drive a TV with VGA input with a desktop or a laptop...

HDMI on this monitor previously had color profile issues as well. I'm a bit rusty with it since I fixed it long ago, but certain graphics cards wouldn't support the full gamut across HDMI because they would detect it as a TV instead of a monitor. DVI and VGA at the time were the only ones that didn't have that problem across all hardware, but I don't think that's much of an issue anymore.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

One I got is VGA, but I got it in 2013. I'm somewhat concerned about the durability of the cable too. No major issue yet, but my screen flickers when the cable is bent.

Are you hoked up to cable? Sometimes the settings on the cable box itself can mess with the TV output also. Not sure if that's the problem but it's definitely worth checking out. the only time I've had that kind of problem was when connecting the PC to the TV via HDMI.. but that was the graphics card settings, not the Panny.

HDMI to VGA works fine from my new HP Pavilion Laptop. There was a lot of glare on the laptop screen so used this cable to hook up my almost 10-year old Acer non-glare monitor. Folks at the store told me this HDMI to VGA conversion couldn't be done with a cable but I have a tech background and knew better. The only thing strange that's happened so far (twice in a month) is the cursor suddenly looks like a comb. To fix, just put laptop into sleep mode and it will reset.

Technically this isn't a support forum but... Are you sure your pc is outputting signal over the VGA, I ask this because I believe there two lights that come on when signal is passed through the device.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

The VGA/SVGA does not carry a sound signal if you were to get a video signal you would still need a audio cable. Also I think their is a digital to analog issue there. Hope the info helped Happy NY

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

The unit that I ordered haven't arrived yet. But I do have a HDMI to VGA converter and a VGA/Universal I/O input on my acer K132. I'll test it out and let you know once the unit arrives. It's coming from China, so it may take a while.

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!
