| Mini-DVI to HDMI® Adapter | | | Question: What is Mini DVI? How is it different from regular DVI? | | Answer: Mini-DVI is a smaller, miniturized version of the DVI connector most commonly found on devices made by Apple Computers. It has the same functionality of DVI but is a more compact connectors so that less space is taken up on the body of the computer. | | Question: Does this adapter support audio? | | Answer: No, like standard DVI, the mini-DVI does not support audio functions. | | Question: My adapter and/or cables are connected to my Mac but I don’t have any picture, even though the Mac recognizes the adapter? | Answer: You may need to adjust the display settings on the Mac before you can see any picture on the tv.
Try the following:
1.) Go into the System Settings
2.) Go into the Display Settings
3.) On one of the Tabs in the Display Settings Window there will be a button on the lower right hand corner that says “Detect Displays”. Click on it.
~ Should that not work ~
4.) On one of the other tabs in the Display Settings Window will be a list of different resolutions, such as 1920x1080. Try them all until you find one that works, it can vary from setup to setup depending on the devices. | | Question: When I connect the mini dvi/mini displayport adapter to my mac my wifi signal drops or completely stops working. | Answer: There are several things that can cause these symptoms. Try the following:
1.) Ensure the adapter is connected and straight, not being bent or angled in any way. Having the Mac on a stand which causes the adapter to hang freely can cause issues as well.
2.) Try swapping the cable connected to the adapter.
3.) Try changing the channel of the wireless signal on your router. It may take several attempts to find one that works for your network. Some that have been reported to work the best are: Channel 1, 5, 6, and 8. |

| | Great product |  Pros: Nice price. Works well
Cons: None, its a good poduct.
This adapter works well and is a good price. I have not had any issues with the fit of the adapter on my MS Surface Pro 4. I have the adapter connected to an HDMI cable going to my TV through the wall so it hangs there off the side of the Surface Pro. I have had no issues with image quality or the image disappearing. Also, I am not moving the machine around a lot after its connected and really, who usually needs to do that. It seems pretty simple to me that if it needs to be moved then do that and re-establish the video connection.

| | Could be better. | Pros: Price. Shipping speed and customer service.
Cons: Not the best fit.
I've always been happy with Monoprice's products, so I'm a little disappointed to have to report that this adapter is not up to the usual standards. I just tried it for the first time and was successful in mirroring my MacBook's screen to my new Samsung 24" monitor via the Mini-DVI to HDMI connection. But when I picked up and moved the MacBook, I lost the picture. As soon as I put the MacBook down again, the picture came back.
When I checked the Mini-DVI plug, it didn't seem to be a snug fit in the port, so I compared it with the plug on an Apple-branded cable, and found that the rectangular metal ring on the Monoprice plug is fractionally longer. So that's probably what's causing the problem.
I know that Monoprice will replace the item, but I tend to think it's not that I have a faulty adapter, but rather that the adapter is poorly-designed and/or manufactured.
Since everything works fine when the MacBook's not being moved, I can live with the problem…but I really shouldn't have to!

| | what can you say, its a cheap adapter | Pros: when it works, it works
Cons: it works intermittently
on my second adapter. monoprice sent me a new one to replace the first one which had issues - thanks!. but unfortunate issue with this cable, that if you move the computer while the adapter is in use, it disturbs the connection and causes severe display issues. if you press it in and move it around, it will usually restore the video. but this is not the preferred overall desire. its difficult to find these old, rarely used adapters (that work).

Hello,
Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about your experience with PID 4852. Has this worked properly for you initially? Can you describe your setup including all devices and cables in use? Have you tried testing with a different source or display to see if anything changes? What is the length and gauge of the HDMI cable in use? Please let me know so that I may further assist you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Gisselle B.
