It works as long as both your laptop/PC and TV have a 15-pin socket (typically a blue D-shaped connector), allowing you to use your TV as your screen. Unlike most VGA cables, this one also carries sound via a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack connection. All laptops and PCs have a sound output jack (e.g., speaker/headphone out), and most TVs have a corresponding jack input associated with the VGA socket. Some TVs might require a jack socket to 2 phono adapter cable to convert the jack to red and white phono connectors. This cable is perfect for connecting your computer or laptop to your television for excellent picture and sound quality. It features a heavy-duty shielded cable with molded ferrite cores and an outer diameter of 7mm. The cable is black and comes with a built-in 3.5mm stereo jack plug to plug lead.
This 1-meter black Kenable VGA/SVGA HD15 cable with a built-in 3.5mm audio jack is designed for users looking to connect a PC or laptop to a High Definition TV, effectively using the TV as a larger display. Its key benefit is the integrated audio support, simplifying setups by carrying both video and sound through a single, convenient cable. A potential caveat is that the audio jack may need to be close to the VGA port on the TV, or an extension may be required.

FAQs
Can this cable connect any computer to any TV?
This cable requires both your computer and your TV to have a 15-pin VGA (D-Sub) socket for video and a 3.5mm audio input jack on the TV, usually located near the VGA port.
Does this cable carry audio and video?
Yes, this cable is designed to carry both video via the VGA connection and stereo audio via the integrated 3.5mm jack.
What if my TV doesn't have a 3.5mm audio input for the VGA port?
If your TV uses RCA (red and white phono) connectors for audio input associated with the VGA port, you will need a separate 3.5mm jack to RCA adapter cable.
What is the maximum recommended distance for the audio jack?
The audio jack needs to be within approximately 40cm of the VGA socket on the TV. If it's further, you will need a 3.5mm audio extension cable.
Is this cable suitable for high resolutions?
The cable supports High Definition (HD) video signals, providing good quality for resolutions typically supported by VGA connections.
How do I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials that could damage the pins.
What is the cable length?
The cable length is 1 meter.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on TV
Ensure both ends of the VGA cable are securely connected. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the TV. Check your computer's display settings to ensure it is outputting to an external monitor. Test with another VGA cable if possible.
No audio from TV
Confirm the 3.5mm audio jack is fully plugged into the computer's audio output and the TV's audio input. Check that the TV's audio input is correctly linked to the VGA input (some TVs require this). Adjust volume levels on both the computer and TV. Ensure the computer's audio output is set to the correct device.
Poor video quality (flickering, distorted image)
Ensure the VGA connectors are clean and not damaged. Check that the cable is not excessively bent or kinked. Try repositioning the cable to minimize potential interference. Test with a different VGA cable to rule out a cable fault.
Audio jack is too far from the VGA port on the TV
Use a separate 3.5mm audio extension cable to bridge the distance between your computer's audio output and the TV's audio input.
