I am writing this review to make a quick clarification that a lot of people don't seem to understand. Before you buy an adaptor cable for your macbook or other source, know the difference between a MINI DVI TO HDMI, a MINI DISPLAY TO HDMI, and a MICRO DVI TO HDMI. Many of the older macbooks use the MINI DVI. The newer ones use the MINI DISPLAY. Make sure you know what port you have before you order one that won't fit like some of the other people who have written upset reviews because they don't know what their computer uses. If you do want sound you are going to need to just use the speakers on your computer or you could plug them into an external system like me. ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE, KNOW YOU COMPUTER PORTS BEFORE YOU PLACE AN ORDER FOR SOMETHING YOU CAN'T USE. StarTech.com Mini Dvi/hdmi Video Cable Adap
This adaptor works fine. I bought it to hook up an Apple MacBook Pro to an HDTV. Apparently due to Apple's implementation of the mini-dvi port, it does not transfer sound, just the video, so you'll just get squeaker-speaker sound from the computer with your HD picture. I knew that ahead of time, so I wasn't disappointed.
Ok, obviously you have to know if this cable fits ur laptop people. how ridiculous is it to have dvi port and give a product a 1 star rating because it's a mini dvi cable. So IF you have a mini dvi port, this cable is FREAKING AWESOME. It's like 1/30th the price of what apple will charge you for a mini dvi to dvi, and then a dvi to hdmi. this is all in one, and like 6 inches long, then just hook it up to any hdmi cable, and then to ur tv. The display looks amazing. I'm really happy with it. Just be careful when inserting it into ur computer. The port looks a little bit fragile...hope this helps!!! (also, audio doesn't flow through this as mini dvi doesn't send out audio...you'll need a two sided male headphone cord, then plug that into the auxilary of ur stereo or something
THIS ITEM WORKS GREAT AS PROMISED AND BARGAIN PRICE. THE ONLY DRAWBACK NO SOUND. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT AND WORKS FINE WITH MACBOOK 2007. NORMALLY WALMART SELLS FOR $17 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE HDMI CABLE WHICH YOU WILL NEED IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO TV.
This is a great little product to watch video media from your macbook pro to your big screen tv. You can either by this small pigtail or purchase the length of cable you desire with mini-dvi at one end and an hdmi male end at the other end. I had already purchased a long hdmi cable (male male both ends)so this product worked as a great little adapter. Can't go wrong with this price...good deal.
The cable itself is great. My only complaint was the amount of time it took for me to finally receive it. It was a bit over three weeks before I finally received my order from Eforcity because it supposedly was lost in the mail at some point.
Works great with my late-2007 macbook. The only improvement could be to fill the entire screen - the adapter outputs in 1080p but it only fills about 43-44 inches of my 46" screen. My tv won't zoom in to make it fill the screen without losing some of the picture. Great value for only a few dollars. - Adapter - Apple - Macbook - Hdmi'
