ATEN8-Port 350 MHz VGA Video Splitter VS98A (Silver)

This video splitter simply does its job, exactly as expected.I use this to split VGA signal between a projector and an LCD monitor, and it works beautifully like magic. There's no fade, blur or discoloration of any kind -- both projector and LCD both show exactly the same as if the signal wasn't split.I'd definitely buy more if I needed them.Note #1: The VGA input port is male, so it requires a male/female VGA "extension" cable. Don't fret, one is already included with the product.Note #2: This splitter is an "active" VGA splitter that requires an AC/DC power brick (also included with the product). This has the very slight disadvantage of adding 1 more component that could fail to your video chain, but since "passive" VGA splitters cause signal degradation, there's not much choice. Besides, the splitter's utter simplicity suggests that the chance of failure is minuscule.Note #3: The product image which shows 3 VGA ports on the upper side of a plastic white box appears to be an old model. The one I received, which appears to be a later model, is black-and-chome, made of metal, and the VGA ports are on the side. These are all improvements, in my opinion.

I needed a hookup for our church to run our laptop and a projector at the same time for presentations and videos during services. This was a perfect device and the cost was great. There was no problem installing it and we can move it anywhere in the church very easily. I highly recommend this for anyone needing this type of hookup. Before, we tried a splitter Y-cable and the picture was always blured on the laptop. Not with this box. The picture is perfect and very clear on both devices.

I work for a school district as tech support. We installed LCD projectors in the ceilings in a few of the classrooms and needed to have the video from the computer project onto the screen while also showing on the monitor. We had some "Y" video splitter cables, but they did not work at all. So I purchased these Aten 2 port 250MHz VGA splitters and they work great! Very easy to install and set up, the picture is perfect, and everyone's happy. The price was right also.

This splitter increased the power to our projector and has given us a much better signal and picture quality. Would recommend anyone to purchase the splitter if you are having signal problems.

Pluged in to computer and Monitor and LG TV no output at all, reconnected many times still no output. Please Help

I bought this thinking I could distribute the output from an iScan Pro video processor to a Sharp front projector and a 37 inch LCD TV. Unfortunately, this unit significantly affects the signal so that low-light scenes have insufficient contrast, Adjusting the controls for low-light scenes results in outdoor scenes looking washed-out.Not recommended.

nice item
