Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Mini-dvi To VGA Adapter
Customer Review: works well when it works
Summary: 2 Stars
I use this cable to connect my Macbook to a 22" Viewsonic LCD as a desktop replacement. It has been shorting every other day since i bought it. So every other AM I fiddle with it for about 15 minutes to get it signal the proper resolution to the monitor. Shame on me for putting up with it, but from what I read it's a common quality control problem with this cable - so shame on Apple. If the cable cost more than $20 you would see more bad reviews, but at $19 I figure people just suck it up and buy another one.Customer Review: It does the job, but does it need to...

This is the official adaptor for an Apple mini-DVI connection to a VGA input. Cheaper than available from the Apple Store for the exact same product, it has that "Apple" look (and smell!!). Unfortunately if you have a 12" Powerbook or an iMac you have to get one of these to hook up any secondary monitors or projectors. It works perfectly and looks fine, but it would be nice to be able to use a standard DVI to VGA adaptor, of which I have several hanging around.Customer Review: What we needed at an affordable price

I work in a school environment with SmartBoards in every classroom. These adapters were in huge need throughout the school, but there was a budget to consider. These adapters were exactly what we needed at a price that we could definitely afford. I was able to purchase enough to give us backups. The packaging they came in was a bit questionable. They seemed to have been returned products, but that didn't matter. The did exactly what we needed.Customer Review: Caveat Emptor

I bought the adapter to use at home (Weekends Mostly) and within 3 months I started having issues with the adapter, Yesterday the unit went dead. I also own the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter which I have owned for over a year and have had no issues (With DAILY USE).
Since I got the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter I noticed the Mini DVI side to be quite a tight fit, but expected it to last at least 6 months. Truly disappointing.

I beleive the first picture for this product is the wrong item. The picture provided by MidwestReviewer is correct.
Apple initially provided adapters for Dual-USB iBooks that connected to a "mini-VGA" port. Later iBooks and powerbooks came with the "mini-DVA" ports, which were somewhat different, although similar in size and function, and were sold seperately.
