    Dual-head displays rock - especially on Mac!

    Written by MM from Groton

    21-Aug-2005

    I bought this to watch DVDs and other video on my television and it does that quite well, but what I'm loving right now is the ability to show photo slideshows on it. Using the screensaver which pulls from iPhoto Smart Albums, the system displays two different images from the set on each display making for a beautiful montage.

    Way to go!     …More

    Great adapter for my MacBook

    Written by DT from Glastonbury

    15-Jul-2006

    I picked this adapter up for watching iTunes TV and DVD movies shows via Front Row on my TV from my MacBook. It works well along with my minijack-to-stereo RCA audio adapter; it's just like having a DVD player with the MacBook's included remote control. Regarding the complaints about low quality such as fuzziness and hard-to-read text, that's a given. A regular TV is NOT a high-resolution monitor. The maximum resolution a standard NTSC TV can have is 720x486, while even the cheapest monitors display at least 800x600, if not 1024x768. If you want crystal-clear text on your TV, you're going to need to pick up a high-definition set or a projector with VGA or DVI input; composite or s-video just isn't going to cut it. With that said, I'm very please with this sub-$20 video adapter. …More

    Works with my 13.3" MacBook Intel

    Written by WJ from Buffalo

    13-Jul-2006

    I just picked this up to use with my MacBook Intel, so that I can hook into a large video display at a place where I teach.

    I tested it at home on a small TV and it works fine. So far I've tested only the composite video output, since I don't have a display with an S-video input at home. Since I am in video production I know that an interlaced video image will never look as good as the image on a good computer monitor, especially if the image has thin lines in it where the interlace will dance. But this looks surprisingly good to me.

    I looked at both photographs and DVD outputs and the quality is pretty good. Quality might suffer more with displays of graphics, especially of tables with horizontal and vertical lines, so to check this I fired up Excel to display a grid. Surprisingly, the fine lines that form the cels don't look too bad, though they'd look worse if the grid lines were darker. The print inside the cels is unreadable, but no one in their right mind would try to display such small print to an audience.

    By the way, if you want to show DVDs, you'll have to use preferences to put the display into mirror mode.

    So far looks like a good solution for me, and I'm anxious to test it on a large display with an S-video input.     …More

    description not specific enough

    Written by NL from wilmington

    13-Nov-2009

    in the description it says not compatable with the 2.0GHZ macbook i figured it would work with my 2.13 ghz macbook WRONG!! the only thing you need to know is that it does not work with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor so regardless of anything else if thats what your computer has this WILL NOT work with your computer. this is annoying because all 2009 macbooks and most others have this GPU. the only alternative ive found besides VGA is mini dvi to dvi than dvi to hdmi which means you have to spend a min. of 40 bucks. so if you have a year old macbook (prior to 2009) go ahead get it. if not your pretty much out of luck if youre trying to connect to RCA or S-video …More
