- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI purchased two of these adapters for use at home and in the office. It's been working fine but a problem I have been having is when I am on my wifi network and using my second DVI display via this adapter, the network experiences major packet loss. This happens both on my home linksys wrt54g router (with dd-wrt) and in the office using my android wifi hotspot. I think this might be a compatibility issue with OS X Mavericks as I don't recall having this issue with OS X Lion. Happens with my wife's macbook air also so must be an OS X or hardware problem. Startech support says "works for us."
If you're considering buying and want to use wifi be warned. What I do to work around this is use their Gigabit ethernet USB adapter and that works flawlessly. Video quality is great, no issues otherwise but the wifi issue is a hassle.
UPDATE: Ok so after I post this review I finally manage to find a fix. Turns out it was the wifi channel in my router. Set to channel 1 and works perfectly now on wifi. Changing my rating to five stars! :) Here's a post with more information on the issue - [...]
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2012Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThis adapter works well and is much better made than the less expensive versions from Syba. I bought two Syba adapters and threw them away within a few months of light duty. Both gave me problems right away and then quit completely.
I haven't had the StarTech adapter for very long but can already tell that its a superior product. The build quality is immediately evident. And not once has it lost the signal, had to be reinserted, or otherwise jiggled to make it work. I've already bought a second one for my briefcase.
Don't go cheap. Get this one that actually works as advertised.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2024Size: 3 ft / 1mColor: BlackVerified PurchaseBought a HP Z4 G4 refurb PC. Amazing fast but comes with a high performance Nvida card with 4 outputs and mini display port. I have an adapter for the mini display port to a display port and DVD input on the other end to the monitor. NOPE. It works on one monitor, but not on two others ? ?
This mini display port to DVI (with the pin) works, but I had to put the monitor right next to the PC (which is on the floor). Finally the monitor works with this PC. But the PC is on the floor DOH !
Have to look for a longer cable or extension of DVI (with pin).
The 3 feet is quite short even if you have it on the desktop as many PCs are pretty long. Just a warning !
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThese work perfectly after a log of trial and error with other setups. I previously had the 27in Thunderbolt Display from Apple for about a year and a half and couldn't take the glare of the monitor (I could see reflection in movies and videos, very annoying!). Ended up selling it and got two Dell monitors.
I have the following setup:
- Macbook Pro 2012 Retina Display with two Thunderbolt ports
- Two Dell UltraSharp U2412HM monitors
I took advantage of the two thunderbolt ports on the Macbook and initially used a VGA to DVI video adapter but the color quality wasn't there. I used different software color setups and it still looked terrible. Did hours of research and found these StarTech adaptors and they worked PERFECTLY. After hours and hours of researching and fiddling around, I have a setup I'm really happy about. 5 Stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI used to use a MiniDP to HDMI converter to connect my MacBook to a LCD monitor. From one month ago, it starts showing flickering or color dots. I thought it is the LCD showing age, and thinking buying a new monitor. Then I bought this to connect to DVI port, then it works perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase - save me $200 for an unnecessary monitor purchase. I still cannot figure out HDMI port issue - whether converter, or running at too high pixel frequency with PC display than HDTV, which is what HDMI designed for. But, this works perfectly for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2011Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseMaybe it's just my monitor, but getting a digital signal through DVI is better than the VGA or and HDMI for my 24" 1920x1200 monitor. Although, HDMI does provide sound through the same cable. This is just an adaptor, so you'd need a DVI cable to connect this and your monitor. But, boy the difference between this and the HDMI or VGA signal is night and day difference. It's crisp, and accurate colors. HDMI is perhaps the least among the 3 for me. Then comes VGA that I've been using for years to connect my notebook computer to this monitor. The DVI so far has been best for me for the last few computers I've used.
I also bought a Mini Display port to DVI adaptor 6' that goes directly to the monitor. However, the DVI side head is longer than the space my monitor provided for the connection. So, this is the best alternative for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI had been using Apple's Mini Display to DVI adapter. It worked OK at first but eventually it became unreliable. I often had to pull the DVI plug in and out to get my Samsung monitor to work This process sometimes took 20-25 minutes. This StarTech Mini Display Por to DVI adapter works flawlessly. I've been using it for an older MacBook 13 and my new MacBook Air 11". It worked the very first time without incident and continues to work. Save your money and go with this adapter instead of the Apple one.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2012Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThe device has a DVI-I female connector, but it only does DVI-D. Startech labeled it clearly as DVI-D on the packaging, but for some reason Amazon doesn't put that information in the specifications. DVI works fine, but it won't work with a DVI/VGA adapter.

Size: AdapterColor: BlackVerified PurchaseディスプレイからPCのビデオカードコネクタへは、通常はDVI 接続していますが、ビデオカードをMini DisplayPortしかついていないQuadro 620に換装したため、本商品を仲介して接続しています。高価なDVI-Mini DisplayPortのビデオケーブルを購入しなくて済みますので、大変ありがたいです。
gnasher729Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 20185.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly fine with a 2016 iMac and a 1920 x 1200 ...
Size: 3 ft / 1mColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseWorks perfectly fine with a 2016 iMac and a 1920 x 1200 monitor, with monitor either in landscape or portrait mode. The short cable (90 cm) is nice when the computer is on the desk itself, so there is no cable lying around on the desk. Much nicer than having an adapter as well.
