Apple Mini DVI to DVI Adapter
Works a treat
Written by RG from Burnley

Does exactly as advertised. I use it with my MacBook to connect to a Samsung monitor and haven't had any problems. The only thing that caused some confusion is that the DVI that is created is a female version, so with my monitor I needed a male to male DVI cable (to lengthen the connection) rather than the male to female that I expected.

A DVI-D adaptor that does what it is supposed to do

I bought a Dell monitor with DVI-D cable bundled because I couldn't afford a cinema display for my MacBook :-( Then bought the mini-DVI to DVI adaptor, plugged it into the Dell cable and voila - it all works perfectly. No drivers, no mess, just instant gratification. An adaptor that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Shame it's not bundled with the MacBook, but I suppose Apple can't be expected to supply cabling and adaptors for every conceivable configuration. I have a drawer full of unused cables from previous Macs and other computers and I can't think of a use for them except landfill :-(
Even better if the MacBook had been supplied with a standard DVI-D port.
Overall though - it works perfectly. Just check that it's right for your set-up before you rush to buy.

Does the job...

Well this item does the job it is intended to do nicely. Macbook is now hooked up to my monitor and working perfectly. It would be nice if the cable was slightly longer though as the length it is really only allows it to turn at 90 degrees. In all honestly though like most people I would really prefer to see this shipped with the Macbook but I cant really fault the product on what it does.

This is a nice bit of kit, very simple to use on my MACbook Black. Just plug and play, the only problem is I can't get my 20" Lacie monitor to run at full resolution, which is the only drawback to this bit of kit, never the less, brilliant buy..
