A Must Have for MacBook Owners [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I use my macbook 90% of the time as a desktop replacement system with the DVI to mini-dvi adapter. However, I would recommend purchasing both the mini-dvi and the vga adapters.

First, the next lcd you buy your probably going to be using DVI, so you will have it on hand. Second, if you already use DVI, its nice to have the VGA adapter in your laptop case. Why? When you go into the field you can easily connect up your macbook to a clients monitor or better yet, to an overhead projection system...in addition, if your DVI lcd ever goes out you can pull out an old CRT or LCD and hook up the VGA adapter and not lose any downtime.


Again, purchase both the DVI to mini-dvi and the DVI to VGA at the same time, here on amazon, and you will save some money.

Lastly, don't purchase this on amazon from Circuit City! I did and they sent me the DVI to S-VIDEO adapter instead.

does what its meant to do [Posted on 2008-05-11]
This cable works well. It does what its meant to do. However, just know that this is not the only cable you will need if you're trying to hook your laptop to a projector or monitor. You will need this cable and usually a VGA to VGA because this cable is tiny.

works well when it works [Posted on 2008-05-25]
I use this cable to connect my Macbook to a 22" Viewsonic LCD as a desktop replacement. It has been shorting every other day since i bought it. So every other AM I fiddle with it for about 15 minutes to get it signal the proper resolution to the monitor. Shame on me for putting up with it, but from what I read it's a common quality control problem with this cable - so shame on Apple. If the cable cost more than $20 you would see more bad reviews, but at $19 I figure people just suck it up and buy another one.

satisfactory, I guess [Posted on 2008-06-22]
I may just be computer-illiterate (very likely), but I find that once I plug the adapter in my laptop goes nuts. However, with patience and persistence, I can pretty easily get the connection working great. And I love to watch all my online content on the big screen.

Necessary but not sufficient [Posted on 2008-07-24]
This works well enough, I suppose: you plug it into your Macbook and it makes a picture on your VGA monitor. However I find the quality of the conversion from mini-DVI to VGA to be lacking.

I expect a certain level of inaccuracies using a VGA cable for an LCD screen (rather than a DVI cable where the signal can be digital all the way from the computer to the monitor), but using the identical monitor plugged into a true VGA port on a different computer, the display is much crisper.

On my 1280x1024 resolution 19" monitor, the pixels are visibly blurry. It's most noticable on text -- where black text appears to have a small halo of blur or other colors around it. Small text is nigh unreadable.
