Reviews for Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with Audio + DVI

I bought this for my 2009 iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo after replacing a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adaptor by Moshi. It works flawlessly connecting to my 2nd monitor.

What I failed to realize is that Apple does not make a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI for a reason. Older iMacs that use Mini DisplayPort are pushing out Analog Video. New macs have HDMI ports for pushing out Digital Video. Converting Analog video up to Digital video is an unnatural act and using Moshis Mini Display Port to HDMI was causing all sorts of issues to my system. Although the image was crystal clear on my 2nd monitor using Moshi HDMI adaptor, the process was compromising my iMac. All issues are solved now using This Mini Display Port to VGA Adaptor.

Do yourself a favor if you have older iMacs without HDMI ports. Get the proper adaptor, Mini Display Port to VGA.

Bought this item. Works wonderful on a MBP 13".

Displays wonderfully for my MBP 15" (MacBookPro9,1). Unfortunately, WiFi does not. There are a few threads you'll find on the Internet (apple forums, too) that conclude the adaptor is causing interference w/ WiFi.

Essentially the moment I plug it in, WiFi starts acting real janky. Connection is intermittent - cutting in and out.

I tried using a VGA adaptor (Apple branded, purchased via Apple Store) and no issue w/ WiFi whatsoever. But it happens time and time again w/ only MBP9,1 for this adaptor!

It's very sad because it's kind of expensive. I'm thinking about returning it, but still find use for it w/ my MBP 13".

Bottom line: gorgeous crisp video w/ great sound transfer that work son earlier models, but not if you bought the MBP9,1.

I don't understand why this adapter ceased to work after a year, it has no moving parts!? it was never mistreated, why would something as simple as transmitting a direct contact signal fail to work after months of use!? i'm speechless. it gets 2 stars for lasting 12 months, thats it.

This adapter does not work well. When screen is dark or on a dark background you will see flickering pixels appearing randomly all across the external display. I bought 2 and both had the same issue when using the DVI extension. Unnaceptable.

Apple should have a device like this also. What most of the people complain about is that is doesn't have audio, but if you go to their website it clearly says any macbook or macbook pro before april 2010 will not have audio. For that I would recommend an Aux cable. But for me my machine is past april 2010 and now has a built in audio transmitter so all I need is this little thing and a cheap $2 HDMI cable from amazon and I am set. thanks once again for a great product.

this is the best cable i ever seen for macbook Air its not bulky like the Belkin HDMI cable

I picked up a May 2010 MacBook Pro after waiting for the promise of HDMI output with Sound. This display converter works. That is about the best compliment for an item to uphold : does it work, yes. My only wish was it would be a single unit vice a two piece adaptor but that does add functional use of it since if you need a DVI converter you have it.

Many people might look at the HDMI section of the adapter and be fooled into thinking that it allows for the transference of audio as well. I noticed that PO from San Diego seemed to have that idea. The Mini display ports on a Macbook do not allow for audio transfer, so please don't make the mistake of thinking they do.

As such, you will only get video, and not audio. You will have to get a stereo audio cable to transfer the sound.

Although it is not as flexible as I would have liked, this adapter does a great job transmitting an HD signal and audio from my 2010 MBP to my HDMI equipped TV.
