Product Description

Every Mac with a Mini DisplayPort allows you to connect an external display or projector using an adapter. You can use an external display as your main workspace or to extend your desktop, or you can work in mirrored mode with a projector so you can view what your audience sees. Use the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to connect an advanced digital monitor, such as the 20- or 23-inch Apple Cinema Display, that includes a DVI connector. Review the documentation or check with the manufacturer of your monitor to make sure you're choosing the right adapter. Compatible only with Mac computers with Mini DisplayPort.

No problems. I have a 13" Macbook Pro (mid-2009) and a 24" 1080p Gateway monitor on my wall. It just works. No complications or special instructions. That's really all that you need to know, right?

This adapter is not cheap and, as noted by others, should be included with your new Mac purchase. That said, its a great adapter and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Works great to connect my new Mac to an excellent 24" Samsung monitor.

Note: white noise is displayed on the screen if the Mac falls asleep before the monitor goes to sleep. It disappears after the Mac wakes up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Look out for knockoffs, March 18, 2011

Before ordering this item, be aware that you may receive a cheap fake instead of the real deal. The "Apple" adapter I received could pass for genuine at first glance, but it didn't attach correctly-- one of the screw holes was too deeply recessed. Taking a closer look at the thing, the signs of a knockoff became obvious-- the markings were off, the dimensions were off, and the build was generally chintzy. A side-by-side comparison with the genuine article was pretty laughable. There may be authentic Apple adapters available from some of these third-party sellers, but why chance it? If you're willing to pay for Apple quality, buy from Apple.

That said, the genuine item (purchased from the Apple Store) works as advertised.
