Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter
You need a S-video cable
Written by TD from CARTERTON

I bought the adapter to use on my mac mini, to connect to my sony 28" crt. I can see why some people have given this product a bad review. when i first plugged it in using a composite cable, the screen quality was very poor, and i had to enlarge nearly all the text to be able to read it, even sitting right in front of my tv. I have know purchased a high quality S-video cable and the difference is amazing. I'm running 800*600 50 hz and i can easily read nearly all text sitting on my sofa 3m away. I would recomend this adapter only if you have s-video connections on your tv, as through composite, it doesn't quite cut the mustard. …More

Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter
Does PAL, NTSC and widescreen
Written by AH from Cambridge

While a little pricey for a simple adapter, it works well and has decent picture quality. When used on an Intel 15" MacBook Pro, the System Preferences 'display' pane offers various resolutions suitable for both PAL and NTSC 4:3 or 16:9 display, from 640x480 right up to (downsampled) 1280x720, with a pull-down menu to choose 50Hz or 60Hz refresh rate. One may be greyed out if the resolution you select is not suitable for that signal type.
An 'Options' tab lets you choose a black border safe area display (default) or overscan (to hide black edges) as well as select a 'best for video' mode, which basically reduces the antiflicker level and should be chosen by anyone with a 100Hz TV. The TV output is treated as a conventional secondary display, so all the usual options for display arrangement and colour correction are presented in the preferences dialogue and software with full screen modes that let you choose a full screen display device will function correctly. …More98 of 138 people found this useful

No widescreen on MacBook Pro
Written by SR from BRISTOL

Hi Everyone,
In Apples defense it doesn't say this is compatible with the MacBook Pro's.
I have tried both models the PAL DVI to Video & DVI to video and neither will output a widescreen picture when using a MacBook Pro.
Do not buy if you intend to use it for this purpose.
