Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro...Customer Review: Outstanding! Video & AUDIO w/Compatible Macs for a fraction of the cost Summary: 5 Stars
I went through all kinds of trials & tribulations trying to find the correct cables / adapters for my new 17" Aluminum Unibody MacBook Pro: MacBook 17-inch 2.53GHz which I also purchased through Amazon a couple of weeks ago along with a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI cable: Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male 32AWG Cable - 15ft . While this cable worked great for video, the audio continued to play through the Mac's speakers. I had several posts going in different discussion groups trying to figure out exactly what I needed to enable audio along w/video output through the MiniDisplay Port. Long story short, after a lot of research I figured out myself exactly what standards and specifications were needed to accomplish this; mainly VESA 1.1a for the adapter & HDMI 1.3b. Obviously, the Mac needs to be able to support audio passthrough via the MiniDisplay Port, which is easy to figure out in the System Profiler.
Anyway, I was going to purchase another brand for 35 dollars, but after the price was raised I looked into this one & it seemed to me that there was no reason that it shouldn't work. Plus it was under 5 bucks! I also bought a 25' HDMI cable for under 20 dollars. I finally got the adapter today; I had received the HDMI cable a few days ago. After unpacking, it took me under 3 minutes to connect everything, change a setting or two and presto: I had my Mac's video & sound going through my HDTV & Audio system- I have 1080p on my 42" Sanyo LCD w/Dolby Digital and everything looks & sounds amazing.
I obviously can't speak to the longevity of the adapter as of yet, I just hooked it up a few hours ago, but so far so good. It looks a little... well, like it costs about 5 bucks. Not exactly cheap or anything, but from what I can see of it, I gave it a 3/5 for construction. It's made by CE-Link according to the Details page & I ordered mine from Eforcity. Plus, if it did happen to give out, I could actually buy 7 more of them for the same price as 1 of the other brand. Not that you can tell much from pictures, but the 2 brands look almost exactly the same, although the Moshi brand does look a bit more solidly put together. But again, that's just from the pics. The other brand "Moshi" is the one sold at the Apple Store, just in the interest of full disclosure.
Bottom line: in my humble opinion, if you need one of these adapters (PLEASE make sure your Mac supports Audio through the MiniDisplay Port first!), save yourself some cash & buy this one! I hope this review helps someone out!
Thanks,
