AnswerThe 24" iMac I bought in the fall of 2008 had a mini-DVI. Now the iMac is delivered with a min-Display port. Sometime between then and now they switched. So first you must determine which port you have. I purchased the mini-DVI to DVI adapter and used it with a Samsung SyncMaster T240HD with no problems. However, the adapter is only about 6-8 inches long so I found it necessary to buy a standard DVI cable to reach from the adapter to the 2nd monitor. I would assume from the descriptions and pictures that the mini-display port to DVI adapter is about the same length.

Answerassuming you have the older model MBP and not a unibody (which plugs straight in) you would need an adaptor that switches mini dvi to mini display port, to my knowledge, no there is no adaptor that does this. in all honesty though, it would be much cheaper and easier for you (and probably get you an equally inpressive display) to buy the older mini dvi to DVI adaptor ($25AUD) and get a nice 3rd party LED/LCD display (Samsung, Dell, Benq, LG all make great ones) or TV. this way, you will get a bigger screen (for the same money) or the same size/quality screen (for much less money) and the added bonus of not needing another cable for audio signal (because the mini display port does not 'do' audio signal)

How do I get my new 13" MBP to work with my old analog TV? Please recommend a VGA converter and the cable needed for this.
I know I need an active VGA converter, but is there one that Apple recommends?

AnswerYou will need to download a program called Insomniax. When it is enabled you will be able to completely close your MacBook with the music/video still playing.

Will this connect to the new 27in iMac, so that I can use the display for external devices, like my ps3 - or do I need an up-res converter as well?

Best AnswerThe 27" iMac has this ability (The 27" only!) but Apple does not provide the neccesary adapter nor does it have any plans to do so.
You can expect third party companies to provide these adapters fairly soon I think.- Answered by Richard B from Prospect
