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.

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.

Works great so far. It connects my Mac Book Pro 2010 with my 2007 Apple Cinema Display. The image is great and stable. No complaints.

Bought this when I purchased my MacBook Pro to connect to my ViewSonic LCD. Works perfectly, nice snug fit and can screw in the pegs to keep pins aligned. A must have to for any mac user needed a DVI to mini-display port connection.

Just like most apple products, it just works. Period.

Great and does what it says it does.

Just one note, be careful: there are a lot of knockoffs of this out there on Amazon.

I can confirm this is the REAL Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and it works flawlessly with my 2011 13" Macbook Pro connecting to a Samsung monitor.


Though I have to say, for a simple converter it is a bit expensive. But it works as advertised.

This product did exactly what I wanted it to do. I wondered if it was a knock off because of the cheap price, but it is an official Apple adapter, which is good. No concerns at all.

Yes, it is over-priced, but it works great and has perfect fit and finish. I have used with a 20" iMac, 24" iMac, and a 17" MacBook Pro; never a single problem.

There are other adapters on Amazon that are cheaper, but if you read the reviews, some people had bad experiences with the knockoff adapters.

I got this adapter so my wife can display to an external 19 inch monitor. We did not experience any problems or have any WiFi interuptions. Just plugged it in and it works.

This adapter is similar to the VGA-styled one of course, and now that I have both for different applications (DVI for 2nd monitor on Mac Mini at home, VGA for projector at work) I can say one thing, the DVI adapter at least allows the DVI plug to actually "plug in" completely and the screws can be secured, whereas with the VGA adapter insertion and rubber bands are about the best I can do. But they both work.
