I bought this adapter from United Integral to connect my MacBook Pro with a Dell E228WFPc monitor that I have used for years with another computer. I wanted this adapter so I could keep my Apple adapter in my carrying case for use with presentations. However, when I connected my MacBook Pro with this adapter I had an awful surprise. Pictures and words on the screen were blurry. Since I had used this monitor with another computer I knew it wasn't the monitor. I switched out the adapter for my Apple one and the picture and words were crisp. I tried multiple pages on a web browser and an MS Word document. All gave very noticibly blurry text, etc. Be sure and compare to a higher quality adapter. The difference is obvious. I'm going to try to send it back. We'll see how that goes.
Update: I contacted United Integral and they sent me another one to try. It also did not work but also had multiple shifted images on the screen. I went back and tried the first one and if I switch web pages it also cannot stabillize the image. Over and over I tried the Apple adapter in the same circumstances and with the same web pages and it worked fine. I contacted United Integral and was promptly told my money would be refunded so my experience with the company has been excellent but my experience with this product not good.

I found this cable very easy to use, it works fine with my dell XPS 15 (l502x), I know this cable has been designed for mac books, but the conector is the same, I'm very satisfected with the cable, if I must add any disvantages the only one is that the connector is white color (it doesnt fit really good with a black grey color laptop, but I dont really care about this) another disvantage is that the cable isnt really long, but for my setup it is perfect, and the last posible disvantage is that sometimes it may be a little hard to plug/unplug the connector due it small design. but like I said all those are minor stuff, I recomend this cable for anyone owning a laptop who wants to connect a external screen or projector using vga conections.

Product arrived in good time.
In appearance, it's not quite as slick as a genuine Apple product.
In performance, there's no difference. I connected it to the VGA end of the monitor cable, and plugged it into the port on my Macbook running 10.6.7. It worked immediately. The screen went black, and within a second I had two screens.
I use this to replace the screen. That is, I close the lid of the Macbook and click the mouse to let the Mac know to get out of sleep. My desktop is not on the external monitor.
Works great.

Great for my Big screen
Great for my 52 inch TV! You can't go wrong with this for that reason and you can hook it up to computer monitors as well with relative ease.

Exact same as what you buy from Apple for $30
The picture is deceiving - it looks like what you're buying is slightly different than what Apple sells (although even if looked different it would still do the same job). Read more
