Reviews for Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

This works great even though I needed to go and buy a new one because my older black macbook used the larger size Mini display port. Oh well, it was worth it.

My MacBook Pro is connected through this adapter to a ViewSonic DVI port and my PC is connected to the ViewSonic VGA port, making it easy to switch the ViewSonic to show either machine. Worked out of the box, no problems.

Unless you live really close to the apple store, I would ask them to check this on a machine in the store before leaving. Bought one today, bought my second monitor, hooked it up and nothing. Swapped cables, nothing. Called Apple Tech support, they had me do a few things, ended up back at the store. Tested my purchased one on their computer, nothing. Took another from the package, nothing. The manager allowed me to have one more, but could not test it there. 18 miles later, it works.

Seems like a shame to have to get an adapter for a dual port video card, but $29 is not bad after spending money on the Mac Pro.

This might cost a bit, but it's top notch quality. The first one I got was defective, so I took off one star. But the level of professional customer support I got (I got yelled at when i went to Fry's) from Apple made me add one star. They tested the defective one, took out a 20" ACD and tried it. Then they gave me a new one, and opened it + tested it before I bought it. Fry's, Best Buys would have shoved me out the door. I know the later has done that before.

It works perfectly on my iMac with connected Dell 2007WFP via DVI-D.
I wish only if there was a way to duplicate the menu bar so to be able to have two on the two monitors :)), but that is not in relation to the adapter, so I set 5 stars!

I have tried the adapter many times and i have even gotten new ones from the store and every time i try it is like my computer does not even recognize the connection to the screen. I have a mini DP to VGA that works fine but the mini DP to DVI does not work at all.

I bought this for my brand new Samsung Monitor and MacBook Pro.

The adapter simply does not work in that configuration although my older MacBook Pro with the regular DVI cable does work with the monitor.

I ended up exchanging it for the VGA adapter. Old technology seems to be the only thing that works for these 1 month old devices.

Sometimes when the display that is connected to the Mini DisplayPort to DVI is connected nothing will be displayed. Most of the time this happens when the machine comes out of sleep mode. Unplugging and replugging does not work either. I have rebooted the machine and nothing seems to work. The screen will flicker when the second monitor is connected so it see it but no signal is sent to the monitor.

If you still have your DVI -> VGA adaptor that came with the previous generation of laptops and where thinking that with purchasing this item you would be able to use that adapter to go from mini display port -> DVI -> VGA and save money instead of having to buy separate Mini D -> DVI and Mini D -> VGA, you thought wrong.

The product works as specified but I gave it 3 stars for lack of compatibility which when developing a product is something you should consider, also lack of information about this products compatibility and function on the packaging itself when purchased in store.
