This one is capable of audio!

ByFrank B.on May 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is the Griffin model that's selling for almost twice this much on Apple's website. It is capable of carrying audio over HDMI from my 13" Macbook Pro 2010 model. Seems like a strong converter. I have no fear of it bending and tearing over time. Everything looks and sounds great.

Audio AND Video work to HDMI TV from OS X 10.6.6

ByAdam Gon February 8, 2011

I have a macbook pro that I purchased January 2011 with OS X 10.6.6 and I wanted to have an HDMI output that would work to my Samsung TV with both sound and video. This Item worked without any issues. I did not have any problems with the computer or television. I did not have to turn either of them on or off. My TV has a specific HDMI port for DVI. I made sure to plug the cord into that port. The picture went through to the TV as soon as I plugged in the adapter and cord and changed the source on the TV to the corresponding HDMI. For sound, on the Mac, I had to go into System Preferences>Sound>Output>HDMI. Once selected, at the bottom it said, "The Selected Device has no output controls". I don't know what that means, but apparently I didn't need that for sound to go through to my TV. The only thing I noticed was that if I had a specific program/video playing before I plugged in the adapter, the sound would not go through. I had to quit the program, plug in the adapter and cords, and then open the application. The adapter seems to be of good quality. I do not have any reason to believe that it will go bad from normal use. I would recommend this product if you find yourself in a situation similar to mine.

best hdmi converter available for the macbook pro

Bychrison November 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

This item was purchased 5 months ago and it's still going strong. I previously went through 2 converters from various sellers on amazon and they both broke within a month. I'm student and constantly plugging and unplugging my macbook to take it to class. This means a lot of stress on the converter, but Griffin has done a good job making a converter that will keep up with me. The included adapter is a plus. If you are looking for an affordable and well designed adapter, look no further.

Connects display to iMac Thunderbolt

Byolderbutwiseron June 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

This adapter works well and seems to be well made. Only time will tell about its lifespan, but I am using it with a desktop so it will not be subjected to periodic plugging/unplugging or cable tugging.

Its packaging and Amazon's description advertise it solely for laptops with the mini DisplayPort, but as several other reviewers have mentioned it is also for adding a second monitor to an iMac through Thunderbolt (same connector profile; combines PCI Express and DisplayPort). I use this adapter with a DVI cable between a 27" iMac and a Dell ST2421L display, and the installation was simply plug-and-play. The monitor auto-senses VGA, HDMI, and DVI. I had the DVI cable so I haven't tried HDMI, but in this two-part adapter the signal actually goes from mini DisplayPort to HDMI in the dongle and then from HDMI to DVI in the second part.

Updated 11 Oct 2012: The HDMI to DVI adapter failed within a relatively short time. The picture was all static; it was not a total signal loss and not the fault of the DVI cable (I tried another). I removed the adapter and have been running with the HDMI dongle and cable without a problem for several months. I dropped the rating to 3 stars, but a more accurate assessment would be 5 stars for HDMI and zero stars for DVI.

Very Happy and Satisfied

ByCarlos Contrerason June 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this adapter because I had bought a non brand adapter before from amazon which died on me a few weeks of use. I did my research and found that this adapter is carried by the apple store but at a much higher price than amazon. So I went for it and so far it has been working beautifully. No complaints, only praises. Its durable, not flimsy, easy to connect, and does the job. I should have gotten this one that those off brand low cost adapters because now I lost that money since those die on you after a few weeks of use. Spend the extra cash and be safe in having one that does the job done. I hope this helps those out there considering it. Don't buy, and I repeat, don't buy the cheaper ones because you will be disappointed. I know I was.

Works great, design a little annoying

ByTomon February 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

This product is great for using with your Macbook Pro. I have the model from early 2010 when they started having the audio and video come out of the Mini DisplayPort and this product did the trick. I really love it and use it all of the time. I would say the one negative is that the piece is very rigid and doesn't allow you to bend it freely. After about a year and a half the base is finally bending because the plastic wore away, fortunately it still works fine! I would recommend if the rigid base doesn't bother you.

I bought two more once I found out they were discontinued because it really is that good and I'd like to have them just in case

ByDONon March 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought two of these and have used them for a few years now. I bought two more once I found out they were discontinued because it really is that good and I'd like to have them just in case. The adapter is very streamlined in its design and fits both my Mac Mini and Dell XPS 13 with no issues. Connectivity and audio are flawless and the added DVI adapter is a nice touch for those who need it. It's a shame they stopped making them, and I have no idea what it has been replaced with, but this model has worked for me without issue for years now and I recommend it to anyone who needs a simple but well-built connector.

Cost me 8 hours of time I will never get back

ByCara Luciaon December 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

This unit was recommended by the apple store since apple does not make a Mini Display to HDMI port. This griffin I got here is either defective or incompatible. I spent a whole day trying to get it to work for a connection between a macbook pro - mid 2012 model/running mountain lion and 1. My samsung 40" TV and 2. Epson 1761W LCD projector.

These connections are totally idiot proof to set up if your equipment is working properly. This adapter was totally non functional with both devices. After scratching my head and running around for hours between set ups, and then chatting with the Epson tech support, I finally bought a gigaware mini display port down at radio shack and tried it with the laptop and both devices, and with 2 different HDMI cables. It worked like a charm with all of the above configurations. I don't know who to blame, Apple, Griffin, or the sellers for selling me a lemon !!

Blame is useless anyway- hope this will save you some frustration- to be totally safe, if you're using a macbook pro you may want to try a different brand or a different seller. I guess the other reviewers had better luck or different equipment

This one has the lasting power.

I'm not sure what the adaptor thingy is for, but the long thin piece.. the HDMI connector is what I use to watch everything on the internet, on the TV attached to my wall.Read more
