Product Description
This is a cost effective solution for adapting your new Mini-DisplayPort equipped laptop to your current display with DVI input - HDTV, Projector, Mini-DisplayPort is a miniaturized version of DisplayPort, the newest digital display interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Most newer Macbook series laptops come equipped with the Mini DisplayPort interface for external video displays. Please check your laptop to make sure it has the Mini DisplayPort connection. *NOTE* AUDIO: This adapter will support audio only if your source device allows audio output through the Mini DisplayPorts interface. If you're not sure, please check with the manufacturer or website, to confirm if your device allows audio out through the Mini-DP interface.

1 out of 5 stars interferes with WiFi   August 19, 2010
H. Lai (New York, NY)
This adapter does work in hooking up an external monitor (successfully hooked up a 24" monitor at 1920x1080 resolution). However, it is not fully shielded, or the shielding is faulty, and when attached my wifi internet connection is greatly reduced to be basically unusable. Buyer beware!


5 out of 5 stars just as advertised   June 26, 2010

1 out of 5 stars Does not work consistently   July 22, 2009

I bought this product because it seemed like a cheaper alternative to an Apple branded adapter that would do the same thing.

I've found that although it does work some of the time, it does not always work.

Frustratingly, when my MacBook Pro comes back from sleep, I often don't get any output to my external monitor connected through this adapter.

When this happens, I have to unplug and replug the adapter several times before I finally get a picture on the other display.

I would not recommend this product because of this issue.

I bought this to use with my macbook and some external displays. I was a little disappointed to discover that this can't be paired with a DVI-> VGA adapter. I've since then discovered that it's not a limitation of this product, but with all DisplayPort to DVI adapters.

I didn't experience any problems using this with a DVI to HDMI adapter either. No screen flicker or anything. The price is just ok though. [...]



5 out of 5 stars Works great, way cheaper than Apple branded   July 3, 2009

I use this to connect an unibody 15" Mac Pro to a Dell 20" 1680x1050 LCD. Works great and much cheaper than the Apple branded.
