I recently bought a VGA cable on ebay that apparently will not work at the 1920x1080 resolution my 27 inch monitor needs. Will this work at that?

I have not tested it with that resolution so I cannot tell you for sure. :(

I also bought this product and the sound cable part does not work. waste of money and time.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

well my TV was hdmi and my PC that i built was VGA it didn't work; i got a used video card that had a hdmi connector and it worked. this cable is for connecting hdmi to VGA cabble

Assuming you have the right connector and you have the USB plugged in to the computer (because the extra power is required), you can try going to Display Preferences and hitting the Option key. A button should pop up to show the available resolutions. I had to do this with my 27" monitor.

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

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!

My monitors are running at 1600x900 with this cable and no issues. I have not tried to go any higher, however I think the cable will support that resolution. As the old saying goes, copper wire is just that -- copper wire.

The E2414HR's do not have a displayport, you would need an additional adapter to make the monitor work with this cable. It would be less expensive to use a VGA to VGA cable as the Displayport to DVI converters are pricey and you don't need the extra display cable bandwidth provided by displayport unless you are looking for resolutions above 1920 x 1080.

Im not sure. I wanted to use the cable to hook my laptop (with vga plug) to my tv with an hdmi plug. I want to use my tv as a projector. I cant get it to work with this cable. Although the description says vga to hdmi.

I have the same monitor as you do trying to connect a Vaio with this cable... and was able to connect a bit higher res, but not 2560x1440. I've been looking around for solutions too, but sadly laptop output display specs also seem to be a spec that falls by the wayside.

Yes, you need a VGA cable. Look at the photo of the rear of the unit posted on the listing.

It is suggested you use a fully digital connection (e.g. a Mini displayport to DVI adapter) if possible to preserve image quality, as VGA will generally always have (very) minor quality loss, due to it's analog nature. Something like this is suggested instead: BlueRigger Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI Female Adapter Cable

Dear Vinh, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger mini DisplayPort to DVI cable! The cable is a single link cable, not dual link. It will not support the 2560x1440 resolution. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

Over VGA, you are limited to a maximum resolution of 1024x768. I have tried going further but have had no luck; if anyone has had success, please tell. Over DVI and HDMI you should be able to output 1080p, I think. If you are using it to just display photos, I think 1024x768 would be fine. Also note that with the fullscreen (4:3) resolutions, you will have black bars on both sides of the picture.
