Pros: - Price very good.
- Quality is relatively good.
- Works perfectly, at least I had no problems in using this adapter.
- My notebook screen appeared perfectly on television using the RCA output.
- Could there be more output connections such as HDMI.
Cons: - Does not work with all notebooks, depends much of the notebook's video and television configuration.
- The S-Video connection did not work perfectly here on my TV, but I cannot solve the problem.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Adapter with good cost-benefit ratio.

Pros: The advantages I find are:
>> If you can make it work, is a necessary element for your notebook.
>> The construction is relatively good.
> The price is right by the device.
>> Useful if you have a PC with VGA and HDMI outputs, but a TV with RCA or S-Video. (If it works on your PC)
>> The cable works fine, how difficult is to configure the PC to send an interlaced signal rather than progressive in the resolution of your TV.
Cons: Negatives:
>> The cable does not always work with any configuration.
>> Hard to configure.
>> Does not come with manuals or something.
>> The cable is very short.
Bottomline: Conclusions:
If you can make it work, excellent. If not, too bad. Buy it knowing that there is a risk that not work on your PC.

Pros: -If it works, it's nice
Cons: -Meh, couldn't even find a video card that worked on this.
-Tried this on many videocards, and I think, if your videocard can do RCA/Svideo over VGA, well, it probably has a RCA port next to it.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Might be good for your modding projects, that's what I'm gonna end up doing with this. Glad I didn't pay much for this.
Tried on laptop, computer, and many other video card. Was never able to get a signal out of it.
You might need to buy a fancy box to get RCA out of your VGA, it's not worth the hassle, just get a new videocard. I'm glad my new notebook does have a S-video port.

Pros: simple and decent construction. nice color. simple in usage. Good options for connecting devices, both composite and s-video. would be a great product if the device worked.
Cons: The device doesn't work at all.. tried it on three computers. In none of the cases there was any signal on the composite port, while any other vga screen would work, and other composite sources would work.
Other Thoughts: As I have no s-video hardware, I haven't tested this output, but I doubt this will work.
Bottomline: Great product if it simply would do what it should do, and not just look nice in a drawer full of adapters.
