Reviews for Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter

When the adapter is new, it's a solid. But, I am currently on my second adapter that has failed. It's at a point where it stops transmitting 1080p resolutions. Right now with my current one I have to pinch the cord part of the adapter to get it to show the 1080p resolution.

I have a 15" mid-2010 MBP. This adapter worked great for combined audio/HDMI support for just longer than a year. Then It became finicky for a while where I had to place a heavy object on the adapter where it connects to the HDMI cord so the visual would stop cutting in and out. Now I can no longer use the adapter without constant glitches in the screen. I'm very disappointed that I cannot find another adapter to support both HDMI and audio because I won't waste another $35 on this low quality product.

Worked fine for less than a year and then just stopped working.

this product is good but not durable because started to get audio cut off problems after 7 months from purchase date

The product worked fine until one day it just stopped- (read below for fix) the Mac would recognize it, but my external monitor wouldn't display any picture. I took very good care of the product. But I have figured out what happened- so when you take it in and out it starts to pull on the metal bit at the end (the male part that goes into your Mac). It will pull it out about 1mm and those little pins will slip and fall out of their casing, then when you try to put it in it will bend those pins.

How to fix-- get tweezers, a gadget screwdriver set, and a headlamp - basically try to carefully pull the male part of the adaptor out a bit and you'll see where the metal joins- gently pry that apart and slide that off (I twisted a small flat screwdriver sideways to open).

Gently pull the white plastic off (remember which way it goes!). Straighten the pins with the tweezers (gently, but they're not as fragile as you'd think). Very carefully put the plastic back on- make sure that all the pins are in their holes at the front of the plastic- if they're not- pull the plastic out 1-2mm, push the pins up with a larger flat screwdriver, and push the plastic back. Once you've got them all in their holes, put the metal back on and make sure it's tight. Now it should work if the pins aren't too destroyed.

Hope that helps! Kinda helped mine but one of the pins was just too destroyed and so it's only working intermittently.

Worked for a few months, has been slowly getting worse, and now it doesn't work. These things are no good. Don't spend too much money on them. Not sure if the manufacturers are making cheap pieces or if the design in general is not very sturdy. Don't waste too much money on one.

This is my first adapter. After about a year, it has finally decided to stop working. A simple check shows that the plastic casing inside the adapter had major cracks which most likely meant the adapter was cracked. So I suspect that if someone trips over the wire and/or yanks on it, that's what will crack the inside. There's no other way to crack the inside since the outside is made of strengthened aluminum. A simple design change could've made the adapter a bit stronger against tugs/pulls. I have to admit though, I never had the wire yanked on before. It's more like it gets bent or twisted a bit, which will probably fracture just the same.

I bought this along with my MacBook in 2010 and it worked fine for a couple of months. I pride myself on taking exceptional care of my things however this product didn't last long at all, so disappointed..

This adapter was working fine until about a month after I bought it. I think it was a combination of lack of care from such a fragile devise and poor making of the product from Moshi.. Make sure you take care of any apple product you have because it is expensive and will treat you right if you do the same.
