Reviews for Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter

While traveling in England I had a 13" MacBook and was trying to do web programming. Nowhere near enough real estate! Spent 2 weeks wishing for an external monitor. Then it occurred to me that the 27" TV in my flat was HDMI compatible (duh). So I bought this adapter and a VGA->HDMI cable. Plugged the adapter into my laptop, the VGA end of the cable into the adapter, and the HDMI end of the cable to the TV, set the TV to HDMI input, and it worked like a charm. I was able to mirror or have an extended desktop (my preference). I was able to walk down the street and pick this up at any one of the many Apple-authorized computer stores around (Apple, why can't you have these in the States??) I was looking for a mini-DVI->HDMI adapter so I could buy a standard HDMI cable (which I would have been able to re-purpose later), but they didn't have one. This alternate solution works just fine.

I bought this product yesterday and I am very pleased with it. My iMac with Intel Duo LCD is broken and it would've cost $631 (part+labor but not including tax) to replace the LCD panel because I do not have Apple Care. Bought this Mini DVI to DVI adapter and a new monitor - it works awesome!

It does what it says it will do. It does it perfectly.

The problem for folks saying that it does not fit certain models is because they bought the wrong product. They bought a mini, when they needed to be buying a micro. Two different word with different meanings.

It is perfect for what it is sold. I pluged it in, then bought a DVI to HDMI converter, then just used my HDMI cable from the DVD player. It is tricky getting a mirrror image off the screen, the instructions are not so clear but with a little tinkering it is done. Very pleasant viewing in HD.

Works perfectly to connect the mini-DVI port on my MacBook to my older "crystal-plastic" ADC cinema display, via ADC-DVI converter in the middle.

Similar to another post, my only (minor) gripe is that the cord could be a little longer, to make for a slightly less conspicuous on-desk cable nest.

That people are posting negative reviews because they aren't reading details about both the products they already own and the products they are purchasing, BEFORE they make a purchase, is just ridiculous. Don't give a product a bad review because you don't do your homework beforehand.

This adapter works beautifully to connect me to my 19 inch lcd and more recently a Dell 24inch S2409. Connection is firm and have never had any issues.

As a warning to those who are complaining about lack of DVI-I support, DVI-I has digital and analog pins for when your graphics card reaches it's digital resolution and has to 'step down' to an analog signal to go bigger. Your mac will push 1920x1200 all digital with no issue. If you need more pixels, just buy the VGA adapter.

I bought a new monitor for my MacBook and this cable does what it should. Plug and play.

No idea who's buying (or making) different flavors of DVI monitors, but I just hooked up my Dell 24" monitor to my 24" iMac and everything's going swimmingly. Runs good.

I wanted digital output from my macbook (black) to LCD HDMI (Samsung LCD TV). Bought another cable though from a local store DVI to HDMI (easily available) and output is great. I'm happy with this product.

And someone mentioned in the product reviews section not to drop it, please read all the reviews.
