Is the mini display port ever defective? Cannot get the connection to work with my tv or with a friends Macbook and a different tv. The HDMI cable seems okay. Do I have to use a Smart tv?

I did not have any defects. In my case, the port and mini HDMI cable work perfectly. My TV is a Smart TV, dont know if the adapter is limited to be used only for Smart TV. Have consulted the website of the manufacturer of your TV to see if there any limitations?

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

Hi Thank you for your interest. Yes we can't guarantee the compatibility with Mac Mini. Because some buyer's But if you want to connect the monitor with Mac Mini, you have to purchase DPmulti model. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ISQ9B3A http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L7KCM3U But you need MiniDisplayport to Displayport cable. Thank you.

I tried the DP with my 2013 MBP and did not work. I tried with two different cable makers and none works. Settle with HDMI at 60Hz.

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Mine has been used connected to a couple of different Macs, a Windows laptop and a couple of Linux boxes. It "just worked"... But it doesn't do VGA, so beware. You need HDMI or DVI.

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

Yes, I've connected my Apple MacBook Pro to it, using an HDMI adapter. I also use Roku, instead of cable for many of my non-broadcast viewing options -such as Netflix, Amazon, Prime, and MLB TV. Works great!

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

I have a macbook pro computer with minidisplayport on computer and use cable to attach to any hdmi tv with no problems. Make sure in preferences you select to turn audio on because it also comes out of the cable. :)

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

Cord could be bad- doubtful. Make sure the HDMI port on the TV is selected. you will also need to select audio output from Mac to TV speakers.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

This is meant only for Macbooks that come without HDMI cables. You insert the small end into the mini display port and the other end into the HDMI cable.

If I understand HDMI correctly, you need to set the source unit to HDMI. I had the same problem with my denon DVD player on my BRAVIA, then I switched the source to HDMI. This might be different for mac/pc ... the apple knowledge base is definately helpful.

Hmm, I'm not very familiar with the technological aspects of iMacs, since I only use my mac to surf the internet, write my papers, etc. I originally bought a tera grand adapter because I wanted to watch movies on my television and not on my computer. I don't know what's going on with your fried HDMI ports. I don't have that problem. Perhaps, you could ask someone else? I honestly can't answer this question. Sorry!
