Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter

Excellent... (just make sure you order the right cable)

First I ordered 'VGA Display Adapter' by mistake...
Make sure the cable you order is the Correct one for your machine/peripheral.
A lot of these cables look the same in the small picture and sound the same in the description. Check your requirements thoroughly before purchase. (ie - connections for both ends)
I needed to connect a VGA TFT to my iMac, and placed my order for 'VGA Display Adapter'. Which shows on order form as 'APPLE VGA DISPLAY ADAPTER-GEN'. I later found that I needed compatibility for an 'iMac (Intel Core Duo)', returned 'VGA Display Adapter' and ordered 'Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter'. Which shows on order form as 'VID ADPT MINI-DVI TO VGA ADAPTER-GEN'.

My new cable works like MAGIC, as I'm sure 'VGA Display Adapter' will for those who need it.
Customer - Check every detail
Apple - Make the difference MORE OBVIOUS

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CABLE NOT ADAPTER

Written by DC from BOLTON

This adapter really should have been a cable with a male end for the money and least 1.5 metres in length, instead of the small adapter, where you are forced to buy a vga extension cable. In my case I had to purchase a gender changer to convert the vga extension cable to a male end so it would go into the back of the television. The product itself works fine.

Does the job well... until it doesn't anymore

Attaching an external screen / LCD-projector with this adaptor is one of many examples of excellent usability of Macs I have enjoyed. I have used my PowerBook 12" for PowerPoint, DVD etc. presentations on weekly basis.

The adaptor does not last long, however. Oftentimes my PowerBook sits on a podium with a heavy VGA-cable hanging at the other end of the adaptor, causing the thin wires inside the cord to break. I have worn out three (3) of these, now I need to buy two (2) more to make sure I have one working during a public presentation.

Does the job well, the small plastic protectors on the tips of the connections are good and keep it safe during transportation in my bag.

MacBook to Sony Bravia

Written by PB from Headcorn

The design is excellent; Apple have added a short cable to allow for movement and stress rather than create a solid adapter that would put pressure on the Mini DVI port. I have used this adapter to successfully connect my MacBook to my high definition Sony Bravia, (Using the Belkin Pure AV Cable available from Amazon).

I checked the customer reviews and found I needed an extra cable. I contacted the Apple Store on the phone, and spoke to an operator who told me exactly the Cables I needed. Excellent service throughout.

I got one of these cables and it requires no set up at all. just plug it in and boom second display pops up. you can even change which screen u want dock and apple bar on. the arrangment features allows you to change who screens position them self when transfering windows from one to another.

a must buy for students with macbooks. or on the go industry professionals is a need. i am a student in multimedia and games and this has proved the best 15 quid i spent in a long time.

Absolutely Excellent

I bought this adapter for my vga monitor to plug it into my 13 inch macbook. Although it took 3 days to arrive it was really easy to set up. I plugged my vga cable into my dell monitor and plugged the other end into this adapter. Plugged the adapter into my macbook and it worked straight away, I didn't even have to detect it. Worked straight away!!! Excellent. I highly recommend this cable.

I bought this adapter, pluged in my second screen, and it worked straight away. No messing around. No hassles. Easy to set up. So easy, my granny could do it! What more could you ask for!?

I also have to voice my opion on the idiots who think the cable is too short!? I think they're misssing the point that its an 'ADAPTER" as it clearly says in the product description. Don't forget people... the second monitor you want to plug into your Mac, COMES WITH IT'S OWN CABLE!!

Its short because its an adapter, not a cable

For the people that are moaning that its not that long, its an adapter, it turns one connection into another, what do you expect?

THIS IS A CONVERTER

Written by LS from London

09-Oct-2006

The reviewer who gave 1 star because the cable is only 2" is a complete fool. This is a converter, it doesnt need to be even 2" long. I'm amazed apple even made it this long!! When you want to connect an external monitor to your machine you should plug it direct into the miniDvi port, if the monitor you are connecting does not have a miniDvi connector then you would use this converter to change your vga cable into a miniDvi allowing you to connect it to your machine.

(Annoyed as to how many reviewers talk utter rubbish!!)

I bought this cable to connect my iMac and MacBook to my LCD TV (as it doesn't have a DVI port) and it does the job perfectly - detects display type and resolutions quickly.

You need a seperate VGA cable to make this work too - it merely changes the mini DVI port on your Mac into a VGA port.
