TL;DR: Too long and not enough signal insulation. Horrible ghosting and blurring.Ordered this for my a new PC i purchased a couple of days ago. I was planning on keeping the same monitor, but my previous setup had a DVI output, so i ordered this cable to go with my VGA PC. There was horrible ghosting and blurring of contrasting colors. Every text box had a shadow of the text blurring to the right, and every white box on a black background, generally media playback controls, was blurring about 1/4 of the way across the screen. I asked around and learned that VGA cables can't be longer than about 6 feet before the signal starts diminishing, and since i was running a 1440x900 resolution, the drop in quality was even more apparent. I purchased a replacement cable from an electronics store that was half the length (and about twice the width), and the problem is now solved.
