Customer reviews
Better than Apple's adapter 
by .. John Van Uden (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA)
Apple's current version of this adapter is for DVI-D cables only (no pin holes around the bar), and therefore won't work with DVI-I cables (4 pin holes around the bar), which other than Apple displays, are the vast majority of cables out there. This 3rd party solution works perfectly for me to be able to connect to presentation systems that use the DVI-I interface, and also works with the other DVI formatted cables I have tried, including DVI-D. It therefore does everything the apple products does, allows more cable compatibility, and is significantly less expensive.
No Brainer purchase by .. W. Hong (NYC)
I was a little apprehensive as this adapter was for the new 27" imac ... Thought there might have been a compatibility issue...
My original mini-dvi to dvi adapter from my previous imac was not compatible ... I almost purchased one from apple again ... but this time i decided to give another adapter a try seeing it's only a 3rd of the price of Apple's version
I'm so glad i did ... IM sitting right now looking at my 27" dwarfing my 20 in cinema display ...
The adapter just plugged in and on the monitor went ... i didn't have to do anything ...
it's the same quality as apple's version ... but has more of a flat textured finish and is very light grey (really didn't care as no one's going to see it) ... the packaging was similar to apples and had a higher retail than what it sells for here on amazon.
The best part is .. i thought because my 27" imac is running such a high resolution "2460 x1440" vs Cinema 20" @ "1680 x 1050" there was going to be a scaling effect ( one image or browser larger on the smaller screen ) which to my surprise was a nonissue
they are seamlessly running together ... took about a min to adjust the height in display settings so the images lined up between screens.
simple purchase and you can but three different Minidisplay port adapters (dvi-hdmi-vga) for your Mac vs one from apple.

Works like a charm! by .. B. Walker ()
I bought this because after getting a new Mac Book, I could not get an analog signal to work with my MB in clamshell mode (see apple forums and a quite extensive 'LG, and other brands external monitor problem'). And also quite frankly, I'm unwilling to give Apple >$30 for something that should cost $7. I used this in conjunction with a DVI cable from the same folks and my external monitor has worked great ever since! Don't be afraid to use 3rd party components for your macs... even if you get a dud, and have to buy another, you are still 100% money ahead vs. Apple brand... Will definitely look to this company in the future for my A/V needs, especially to avoid the 'Apple Tax'.
More for less by .. KSBAY ()
If you're looking for a way to connect your Macbook or Macbook pro to an LCD TV (through it's DVI connection) or external monitor , this is the solution.
Unlike Apple's adapter which is only DVI-D cable compatible and costs $28, this adapter is DVI-D and DVI-I cable compatible, costs only $9 and works just as well as the "official" Apple adapter.
I bought it and used it to connect my Macbook to an external monitor and it's working perfectly. No graphical glitches or issues. There's no point buying the "official" apple version - it's less capable and more expensive. For how much that costs, you can buy 3 different versions of these MiniDisplay Port adapters (MiniDisplay port to HDMI, MDP to VGA and MDP to DVI)
As someone once said, money saved is money earned. Save your money and purchase this instead.
Perfect stand-in for the Apple proprietary version by .. Scott Zeller (Texas, USA)
I have a MacBook Pro 13.3in (purchased 12/09) and an older (circa 07 I believe) Apple cinema display. I was disappointed at the cost of the Apple adapter to make the connection, and found this alternative. I can report it works perfectly. Plugged it in, and it worked. Easy as pie.
The only issue I have with it is that I wish it was more of the brilliant white that the Apple accessory cords (think iPod cord) are. This is more of an off-white. However, I can deal with that to save the $$ for functionally the exact same product.
Seller was great, shipped fast and well - would use them again.
