Reviews for Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adaptor

My mDP worked for about a week before failing completely. I wasted a lot of time then went to the nearest Apple store. No questions asked, no receipt required -- they replaced it with a new one that works...so far.

I have bought many things from the apple store, all of them work perfectly and to the exact specifications that they were intended
The Biggest problem i have with the apple store is the people who order stuff and then complain that it doesn't work because they can't read. If you read the description on what the device your ordering is for then you will get what you want. Its really not that complicated.
Specifically on this cable, yes it is only for Intel based macs, NOT the older macs, (iBook...etc) and its not meant to be long, I don't know of any devices that have male connection points? It replicates a port on the side of your computer, its not an extension.
So for all the complainer's, please for the good of all the Online store shoppers, please go back to grade 5 and learn how to read

Great concept for sure, plugged it in a off I went. Depsite this however, I give it a thumbs down as I am now on my 3rd adapter after the first to shorted within 2 months of use. First symptoms are a blue tinge on the external monitor or some flickering, both of which are resolved with a wiggle of the cable. This however, only works for a couple of weeks until it stops working altogether. I took apart the second adapter after it went bad and you can clearly see where the wiring is coming apart from any bending that may occur. If I could find another supplier for this I would. Not up to Mac's usual manufacturing standard.

This adapter does not fit the new 13 inch macbook even though it says it does in the ad. For this you need the mini displayport to VGA adapter. Don't make the same mistake i did. That said they sent me out the correct one free of charge.

Not the cheapest adapter in the world, but seems to work fine for me. Had no problems hooking up to my Samsung monitor. No issues whatsoever.

Well let's face it, this is an adapter cable, so really, what do you need to know... I plug one end into the VGA cable that fits my BenQ projector, and the other end into my Macbook pro, and everything works just fine. I've read a few reviews claiming the cable did not work with Samsung monitors. All I can say is it does work with my Samsung SyncMaster 712N. Like just about every cable ever made, it is more expensive than it should be, but this is not unique to apple - Just try to buy a Monster HDMI cable!

Apple failed to accurately describe which of its computers will actually fit this cable. Packaging states "Requires Mac with a mini-DIV port", but the cable does NOT fit into my MacBook Pro.
Huh???
Apparently all the genius's at Apple thought their customers would get that MacBook and MacBook Pro have the same name of the adapter (Mini-DVI) but are actually different?!?!?!?
I love Apple products but this is the greatest FAIL ever!

Works fine for presentations on the LCD projectors I've tried. Connecting to a Sony Bravia--the TV doesn't
recognize that a computer is connected, and won't allow you to select the PC input (is dimmed). Workaround: Connected a shutdown netbook via 15pin cable, the TV then can figure out that the PC port is live and can then select the PC port input, then switched the cable over to the Mac, and it then works fine. Am guessing there is probably some
ground or other sense pin that is not properly being seen.

This obviously works with my macbook. My problem is that apple didnt include this with the macbook. I realize that there are differnt addapters, bt i really think it should have come with my macbook, so i dont have to pay 20 bucks for one. I had one with my ibook, why not the macbook?

The adapter falls out of my macbook port at the slightest move! I can hardly work because the monitor keeps loosing the connection (twice already since I started writing this review), and it takes about 3-4 seconds to reconnect each time.
