Works as it should, with side effects
The splitter works fine, but was really unusable for me because it reduced the brightness on the monitors to a level that really made it hard to see. It's not a problem with the product itself, though -- just a side effect of splitting a signal in half. I tried using a signal booster in conjunction with the splitter, but that didn't seem to help.

Works Great!
I bought this product to split my desktop computer to my main monitor and to my HDTV in the other room. As others has said it does diminish the brightness on the monitor, but it hasn't done so on my HDTV. As I mainly use my computer on my HDTV these day I haven't had a problem with the lose of some brightness on my monitor at my computer desk. Besides for that little lost it works great as it was indented for.

More ghosts
I was trying to split my vga output to a monitor and a projector (via a 50 ft cable). I had the same experience with ghost images on my monitor as one of the previous reviewers. I'm guessing this splitter isn't designed to work with long cables. I ordered a 2-Port UXGA Video Splitter Extender (Cables To Go - 29550) which works much better, although it was somewhat more expensive.

NOT for "Laptop to display on sparate, large monitors" as advertised
I bought this for my laptop so I can hook up two external LCD monitors (using one as the primary and the other as an extension). Well it did not work. The image on both were the same. Why would I want to hook up two external monitors for a short-distance that display the same image? What makes things worse is that the brightness on each monitor is diminished by about half which make it hard to see clearly. I hope Amazon will clarify or change the description of this product and allow me to return it.

not all that great
i bought this product over amazon and gave it a try. for the price of the product and shipping, it came to a little over 12 dollars, not a bad price, but it was a bad product. one of the pins was broken and missing and there was a fuzzy image on my monitor. it's not all that great.
