Purchased for use with white macbook and panasonic LDV80 HD tv. Also required male vga to male vga cable.
Worked very well as soon as connected. No set up was required other than selecting video mirroring on macbook.
Also used audio cable from headphone jack on macbook to audio input on tv for sound.

This wire works straight out of the box. Just make sure you know what your buying. This wire is for the white macbooks. the mini display port to vga is for the aluminium macbooks.


WORTH BUYING!!!!!!!!

Nothing SHORT of being great

Written by SG from Royston

There's no doubting that this is a quality product and it does the job excellently, I just can't help feeling a little ripped off. Yes, I knew before I bought it that it's just an adapter but didn't take into account the price of the additional cable that I'd need to buy to rig up my MacBook to a LCD TV.

Would it really be so much of a problem to produce a 50cm version which is a cable, not an adaptor?

Overall, buy it, its a quality product but keep in mind that you'll probably have to buy another VGA cable for £15+ if you don't have one kicking around free.

Fantastic with LCD HD Ready TV

Written by IM from Bournemouth

I bought this little fellow a few months ago now, from an apple dealer, and although having to buy the vga cable itself, which some places can be nasty prices, this has been glorious. Its plugged into my Sony HD tv, a specific PC input, and when playing HD content on my mac, trailers, etc, it looks superb. Its just a shame i cant play multi region discs on my mac, VLC doesnt seem to work too well with Leopard, as im sure it might help make the DVDs look a little better than my old, S Video output, Dvd player. Anyway, a great adapter. Macx

Does the job

Written by DE from Telford

Simple cable that does the job. I tried it out with a VGA to DVI adapter and found that it does work with it.

The joining cable's a bit stiffer than I was expecting, but does it's job in keeping the large end out of the way of other ports.

Also, oddly enough, OS X knows when the adapter is unplugged while running (and will move windows around to suit) but it doesn't know when the monitor cable is removed from the adapter. It doesn't appear to be a problem though.

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

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.
