Do I need a premium 15pin VGA cable for my LCD HDTV?

The R asked:

Can someone tell me if I need to buy a “premium” VGA/SVGA cable to connect my laptop to my new HDTV? I don’t want to do any damage to my new TV by using a cheap cable.

I currently have a 6ft VGA cable with ferrite cores I bought at a discount computer store. The cable is pretty heavy duty given its weight, and the ferrite cores, although it’s an unknown/questionable brand (Cyberwyll?)

Do I need to go buy a premium cable? I just bought a new Sharp LCD HDTV that cost me a pretty penny, and I don’t want to do anything that might harm my new investment.

Thanks everyone.

  • A cable can’t do any damage to your TV.

  • The cable will not harm the TV, but an ordinary VGA cable will not deliver full HDTV quality over long distances (more than 3 ft). If your cable is rated for SVGA use, it will probably be satisfactory for your computer use.
