So when I purchased this cord i had no doubt that I would be impressed, and I was! it was amazing it worked great and improved my …Read morecomputer use so much! But however I noticed one thing that could be easily fixed, I found that the mini DVI side of the cord easily fell out or got disconnected, this resulted in the displays having to reset, which does not take long but can be a bother. So make sure that your cord is in there nice and tightly and not in a awkward position.
Other that than it was a amazing product!(4 of 5 people found this review useful)

I read the specs? I did!
Written by TL from Monrovia

Regarding the issue about the mini-DVI to VGA adapter that does not fit the ibook, it is useful to point out that nowhere on the p…Read moreackage does Apple indicate that different model laptops require different mini-DVI adapters. It would be useful if Apple simply wrote, on the packaging, "This adapter fits the following models ...". This is not a difficult thing to do. Moreover, the average consumer is going to assume that a mini-DVI adapter made by Apple will fit all "mini-DVI" ports, unless, of course, Apple makes it clear that this isn't the case.
This said, the adpater works just as it is supposed to when you get the right one.(1537 of 2159 people found this review useful)

I recently converted to the iMac (6-10 months ago) and had the iMac and PC next to each other. I no longer use the PC but had a v…Read moreery nice 19 inch VGA LCD display. I figured I may be able to use it as a 2nd display on the iMac and ditch the PC all together. Bought the mini DVI adapter, plugged it in, plugged the monitor into the adapter, and it JUST WORKED! No drivers, no reboots! I then simply chose the display size I wanted for the 2nd monitor, but both the iMac display and 2nd LCD are in high res and working flawless! Fantastic freedom and option on the iMac, thanks Apple! I have to encourage all who want a 2nd monitor to try this out! Works on the new Intel iMacs.

Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter
Video Adapters should last longer than 4 months
Written by RS from Ann Arbor
Sep 20, 2005
If you order one of these treat it very gently, be careful how you pack it when traveling, etc. My first one broke in 4 months (th…Read moree wires internal to the rubber cable enclosure shorted - so the screen would drop out certain colors). And then, when I ordered and paid for a replacement, the wrong adapter was shipped to me. The sales web page does not bother to mention that there are different versions of the PowerBook G4, which use different types of video ports (mini-DVI and mini-VGA). Make sure you know which one you need before ordering. An improved sales web page would at least show all the VGA adapters in one place, so one could see all the choices.
