Hi, as far as i read, all these are kabels to connect a scart-OUTPUT to an VGA-INPUT. (scart-out of receiver to vga-in of a beamer/lcd-tv) These cables are useless for connecting a VGA-card to a monitor, as they do not handle the vga-sync-singals correct. If you use them, you probably won't get a picture and perhaps will fry your tv and/or vga-card..... Christoph
