My son owns one of the 14 inch imac computers. Most of them develop defective displays, which developed lots of vertical lines across the entire display. They appeared one at a time, and continue across the display until it was so badly distorted, it was impossible to be used. I was on Amazon's website one day and thought of an idea, which consist of installing a remote monitor, onto son's Imac. I did some research and found that his Apple Imac had a video output port, to be used with an additional monitor. I ordered this adapter, plugged it into the defective Imac computer with defective display, and immediately saw the same display image on both sets!! yes we were both happy. There were lines still on the origional imac display, but not any on the new display we added. We made some video preference adjustments, and now my son is happy again with his Imac!!

I have a Mac mini that I wanted to hook up to a standard monitor. Once done, I turned on the system and monitor and noticed the colors turned washed out with enhanced blue tint. All connections were hooked up properly. I borrowed a friend's cable which was an official Apple product to hook up the mini to my monitor and it worked flawlessly. Hence, the problem lied with the product. The company provided fast shipping but the product is not up to par.
