Cables To Go 41064 4-Output Audio/Video + S-Video Distribution Amplifier (Black) Review

Very easy to use a/v amp for both professional and home use. I use it professionally when doing multiple recordings on-location. The quality is exceptional. The only gripe I would have is the power connection as it is located on top with all the other a/v connections just below the the a/v inputs. It would have been preferable to have it on the side away from all the cables.

Bought this item, and it does not work with the Mac mini.
Check forum from apple as well on the link below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8932810

Works fine with my MacBook though.

Buy the one from apple that it should solve the issue with the resolution and this one from Dynex will only work if change the resolution from your device using extra softwares like SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/whysr.html), however I have not tried this method since I returned this item and got one from apple to solve this issue.

Hope you all don't need to go through the same hassle as I had to go.

This product is solid, and it gave me no difficulty.It was perfect for hooking up to my roommate's old tube tv.That being said, if you have an HDMI input on your TV, or whatever you're linking up to, just get a DVI to HDMI converter.They're about 10 to 20 bucks on NewEgg and will give you a much better picture than this will.(Plus, most HDTV sets will talk to your computer and automatically set the display size when you use HDMI; this product will not).

Tritton TRI-UV100 SEE2 USB 2.0 SVGA Adapter Review

Tritton TRI-UV100  SEE2 USB 2.0 SVGA Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you need to add an extra monitor and can't use a standard video card, then this is for you.

On the other hand, this can't match the quality of a standard video card, and motion will look somewhat choppy. If an extra PCI or IDE video card would work with your system, then that would be the better choice.

PROS
* Can be connected with only a USB 2.0 port.
* You can plug or unplug it from the USB port without problems, and the monitor will be immediately added to or removed from your desktop.
* Up to 1280x1024 resolution at 16 bits (near true color), with 32-bit true color available for 1152x864 and lower resolutions. (You may need to download the newest drivers for high resolution).
* Can support a flicker-free refresh rate of 85 Hz at the top resolution.
* The display on the attached monitor is crisp and clean.
* Small, attractive design with a blue LED.
* Powered through the USB port.
* I've been using one without a problem for nearly a year.

CONS
* While the newest drivers (downloadable from Tritton) are easy to install and have passed WHQL testing, the older drivers that may still ship with the device aren't as polished.
* Attaching the device to a different USB port means installing the drivers again (apparently the manufacturer saved money by not giving each device a unique electronic serial number).
* Motion on the attached monitor is somewhat choppy. It's fine for things like email, word processing, or web browsing, but it's not fast enough for games or video.
* DirectX 3D windows (including any DirectX9 window) won't work. This means that some games can't display if you drag them to the attatched monitor.
* The driver puts an icon in the Taskbar's notification area (system tray), with no way to get rid of the icon. (On the other hand, the icon's popup menu may be convenient.)
* The connector is standard VGA, not DVI.

Again, it's a good device, as long as you don't want to play games on it.

Apple Mini-dvi To Video Adapter Review

Apple Mini-dvi To Video Adapter
Average Reviews:

Reviews are only good if you can learn something from them, so here's what I did with this adapter. Hopefully it'll help you figure out if it's right for you.

It took awhile to figure out which adapter I needed, and then it took awhile to get the right one, but this is it.I wanted to connect a 1.5 GHz Powerbook 12" (aluminum) to a Sony Wega 27" flat-tube TV and watch videos. At first, I though all I would need was a mini-DVI-to-component, and then I learned the difference between "component" and "composite."Didn't matter though, because what I actually needed was this, the mini-DVI-to-Video adapter.(For an iBook G4, I think you'll need mini-VGA-to-video.)

The "Video" stands for S-Video, and any generic S-Video cable will hook up to it. You don't need an expensive Monster cable for this job.

The video quality ranges from acceptable to great. Even though you can see the lines of pixels on such a big TV when you're looking at the desktop, videos recorded at DVD-quality *look* like DVD-quality.Videos (by which I mean legally-acquired TV episodes) encoded at less than DVD-quality look pixelated if they were originally digital broadcasts, for some reason, so while The Invisible Man (new) looks crisp, new Battlestar Galactica looks... chunky. From this, we conclude that that adapter itself works just fine, and it's up to your original file quality to determine how good it will look on the TV.

That said, the screen resolution is 800x600 while the adapter is plugged in, so I wouldn't recommend routing video from a 12" PB to a larger TV than 27" unless you don't mind a little fuzziness.

The adapter also comes with a composite jack, but I haven't used it, so someone else will have to review that aspect. :-)

This cable worked out great.Plugged the S Video into my desktop computer's video card (I have a dual DVI video card with 256MB Ram), and into the headphone jack.Then plugged the RCA cables into the TV.The picture quality is a bit grainey on the TV (Sony Wega 32") so I wouldn't recommend trying to surf the internet on the TV.However, I do pull up my netflix movies to watch streaming netflix movies, and it looks great.I can also go to abc.com and get caught up on a lot of my shows, plus I don't have to watch commercials anymore.

With technologies like this it's almost worth not watching episodes live, but off the internet.Now shows take me only about 42 minutes to watch instead of the full hour.

Product Description:

The Value Series S-Video+Audio to 3 RCA Adapter Cable from Cables To Go allows you to connect your multimedia PC to your television with ease. This precision-engineered adapter cable connects the S-Video out of your computer to a TV, thus eliminating the need for several cables and/or adapters. This bi-directional cable converts S-Video to composite RCA or vice-versa without an expensive active converter. This quality 75ohm coax cable is double-shielded with 85% aluminum foil and braid to reduce unwanted noise and distortion. The Y/C signal separation circuitry provides a bright, crisp picture from your PC. In addition to fitting standard S-Video jacks, the cable fits both 7-pin and 4-pin jacks on desktops and notebooks with a TV out jack. Ordinary, "included in the box" S-video and composite RCA cables often use low-quality materials with inferior shielding that can result in poor sound and picture quality.

PTC Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter with 6ft HDMI Cable for Macintosh Review

I'm going to keep this simple.For 20.00 you can hook up your late model MAC (MacBook in my case) to your flatscreen.You do not need to get mini-dvi to dvi to HDMI as most of the forums recommend.Get this and I personally got the 10ft HDMI cable and set up the television as a dual monitor setup.Very Cool.If you have surround sound I would recommend getting the Toslink to optical mini-adapter as it is super easy to hook up your mac to surround sound also.It actually sounds better than cable and DVD's in my opinion.BTW, this item is plug and play.I did not have to set up anything software wise.

I don't have any gripes with the quality of the cables, but attaching the ends to a wall jack or the back of the cable box or TV is more difficult that it probably should be.You'll want to make sure you have a wrench to help make the connections.If you just plan to make a connection one time then I wouldn't let the connectors deter you from buying the cable.However if you will need to connect and disconnect things on a regular basis I would not buy this cable because of how difficult it is to work with the connectors.
