I wanted to use the cable to connect my ThinkPad T420 (with NVIDIA graphics card) with my monitor (HP w2207h). The image transfer worked flawlessly - just was no sound transmitted, although both units are designed and the monitor was even correctly identified as a playback device in Windows 7. It was just "not connected". Another adapter cable (this time by Roline) could solve the problem. It is a pity that this has no gold-plated contacts and is not as flexible.
Conclusion: - Very flexible and soft cable - Image transmission works flawlessly - The appearance of the end of the cable does not match the picture match - Audio / sound signals are not transmitted (pity that is never mentioned explicitly)
