Reviews for Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

I am a Youth pastor and hook this up to my Macbook pro and to any of our projectors and to my Samsung TV every night and it has worked perfectly for over a year!

I use this adapter almost every day for a digital projector in my classroom, and I use it at home for a monitor to watch movies and I have NEVER had a problem. I have had it for almost two years now.

The screws fit right in and I am glad the port is smaller because I think that big VGA port is ugly. Also how often are you going to have something in the video port, both audio ports and both USB ports?

Like all Apple products, it is sleek, easy to use right out of the box, and doesn't break.

Works great for all of the presentations I do at school. No fail yet, even after 200 presentations. If you want HD, buy the dvi, it's what I use for my television, and it's much nicer (Can do 1080p) and it's cheaper.

Bought a new mac mini to use it with my home theater setup. Old mac mini with the intel graphics chipset can do up to 1920x1440 on analog VGA output. (via dvi to vga adapter). New setup with this cable can do max 1920x1200.... And even that doesnt work properly. Signals seem to be distorted....

Waste of money.

I was using a Macbook Pro 10.6.5 and an LG TV. Didn't work. I would use my Windows computer and it worked, I then tried my Macbook Pro and it didn't. I think its the cable, not the Macbook.

Connected to Samsung Monitor.... functions well with no errors

I have read the review of this product not working with Samsung TVs. I have a Samsung UN46C9000 LED/LCD 3D TV. This adapter works VERY WELL with my TV. It gives a very clear and sharp picture with no hint of pixelation or other video artifacts.

I highly recommend it!

I connected to my Panasonic 42" plasma easily the picture is perfect

I am surprised that this adapter does not live up to Apple's usual high standard of quality.

First, one wonders why a $30 device that is essential for almost all Mac Mini users is regarded as an option. It seems to be an underhanded attempt to gouge customers.

Second, a simple device such as this should be able to attach to a VGA cable correctly. It does not. The thumb screws on my VGA cable are not long enough to reach the corresponding sockets on this Apple adapter. This means that the VGA cable will work itself loose. (When it does get loose, by the way, the Mac Mini somehow forgets the correct resolution of my HP 1440 x 900 display. After hours of trying to reset the resolution, I accidentally stumbled on the cause when I touched this Apple VGA adapter. Now I have to use Scotch tape to hold the cable and adapter together!)

This is not the level of quality I have come to expect from Apple, and I have tempered my enthusiasm for the company's products accordingly.

Works great, it's durable and small. The thing is that it gets scratched very easy because of the glossy finish.
