I have older HP.Compac. I also have Proscan 19" LED TV. Is it worth it- re: screen quality. buying this cable?

A lot depends on your video card capabilities for quality. However, my personal decision is always to take advantage of the ability to expand my desktop screen from the laptop to a second external monitor. The screen real estate is worth it to me. This cable is low cost and gets the job done. As long as your compac and proscan both have a female VGA connection your in business.

I used this cable on a security monitor and it worked perfectly. Not sure about a regular TV.

I use this cable often on a samsung 2010 720p plasma for movie and youtube for kids. No issues in clarity, or otherwise

Since i have one of the HDTV Proscan all I know is the screen resolution is 1360 x 768. The picture quality is superbbbb very beautiful.. Everyone who enters my house the first thing they notice is my proscan 32 in HDTV picture quality is excellent. Honestly 10 people have told me i have a nice screen

If it is right model for your HP it should work fine. Easy to install and looks great. I did research on web to find right screen for my laptop. Hope this helps some

I chose the Philips monitor - can't now recall the exact reasons, but I believe that it was due to slightly higher ratings and a little less cost. I'm happy with it. But, for my other office, I spent more and got an HP Envy 32 - slightly wider and the height is great.

No, this will only work on a computer monitor. But well worth it. I use one everyday, and works great for me. Now as far as the quality goes depends on the monitor. My monitor's highest possible resolution is 1600x900ish and my quality is really good for having very little money invested in a cable.

Yes, this is what I use for my PCs. You will need an HDMI cable and you might consider buying a cable with the proper connectors on each end. Like this on Amazon: BlueRigger High Speed HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable

This is the right cable but its not good quality. I would say go with a PNY or something similar. I just bought the adapter because I have the HDMI cord already. Hope this helps.

A digital cable like this will either give you an excellent flawless picture with no artifacts whatsoever, or absolutely *nothing* whatsoever. However, an analog VGA cable can sometimes be subject to noise and artifacts. In my case, there is always a hint of ghosting with VGA. Wiggling the cable around would reduce it, or worsen it. Also a VGA needs to be calibrated, usually the monitor will take care of that for you, but not always.

If you have HDMI out put then you can easily do it. But this LG monitor too expensive, you can get a HP version for same image quality but at half the price. Your other option is use Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, or Mini Display to HDMI. If you do not have HDMI output.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

Some people will say yes, but I see no difference. I have a 1080p monitor and it works perfectly fine. This cord is absolutely fine for what I use it for and quality looks just as good as any other cord. It is very durable and well built

I don't know. I had a HP rep come and service my new HP Desktop, and he pulled a HD Card out of the computer, which was apparently configured for Tiger Direct, where I bought computer. He said they sold me the wrong monitor, that was why resolution was so bad. The HD card was expecting HD signal, which didn't happen. Monitor is OK now, not as good as I expected, but as good as my old Samsung.

If the cable company equipment has component OUT, and your TV has component IN, then you will probably get the best picture doing that, unless you spend much more than this device costs. I have an older Flat screen that has 1 HDMI port and component IN. The HDMI port went out. I purchased this, and the picture was good, but had some noise (white spots here and there). Plus most services on my Apple TV gave me HDCP errors and I was not able to view them...which was frustrating because it has "HDCP" written on the case. I returned it and just stuck with component for now. It is not as great a pic as HDMI, but it is still very good.

Any suggestions for connecting my HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook to this TV? I know I can accomplish this through a VGA connection or S-Video connection, but I wanted to keep the connection digital quality. Thanks!

I have used a 42" Visio TV which works very well. I've also used the Adafruit 3.5" TFT Touch Screen display that connects to the GPIO. It work works quite well. I haven't been able to get a VGA adapter to work with my HP 1280 X 1024 monitor yet though. I'm trying various configuration changes, but have had no success yet. I haven't tried composite video yet, but intend to give it a go soon.

With any hdmi relay or switch it is recommended that you use a larger gauge hdmi cable. I have 24awg cable with no loss in picture quality

Kurt, the HP monitor you purchased is a very poorly made, substandard product. If you have an option of returning for a refund, I would suggest that you do so and then buy a Samsung, LG, or other quality branded monitor. Good luck.
