I bought this and use it for my 2007 MacBook, which has the miniDVI port. It works perfectly for the MiniDVI port.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This connection is for a specific type of DVI cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red planet Trading

If you GPU have the same display port as the one on the Cable Matters cable then you should not have a problem.

If your pc video output is that blue one with the rows of pins that's your VGA output. DVI is a small white somewhat rectangular connection that has a few rows of pins on one side and four little slots on the other side that make a square pattern and of course you should know what an HDMI looks like. Good luck. :)

I just tried this and it does not appear to work (it could be my DVI to VGA adapter, but I don't think it's broken). You are better off buying a mini display port to VGA adapter.

There is a bit of confusion about this on the description of this cable, I ran into to this myself. This is in fact a dual link dvi cable. A dvi cable connector that isn't a dual link is missing a section of 9 pins in the middle. I don't understand their description of it being dvi to dvi dual link, either. For me it functions exactly as my other dual link cables. Hope this helps. Here is a link that may help you out as a reference. http://mobile.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-peripheral/3365585/how-tell-dvi-i-dvi-d-cables-apart/

this cable is a "Thunderbolt" to "Display" I don't know if your monitor has a "Display" input. You would have to see what type of input the monitor has.

There is a port on the back side of the computer, next to the monitor's video output, that is labeled "HDMI." I have not used it.George

Let me confirm when I get home tonight. From what I remember, it is through DVI cables (double ended, male). More info to come.- Ron

It is if it has a DVI port. It should look like this (or very similar) on the back or bottom of your monitor: http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/20000/nahled/dvi-11299780447tnJ.jpg

you are absolutely right. the pictures are misleading. this one is the HP DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter with the "female" connector (with holes)

VGA and dvi are both present. Amazon shipped mine with the wrong power cord.

Yes, but the quality is very poor. I have gone through many of these, it is a better idea to use a regular hdmi cable, with an attachment for the mini display port.

I checked the specs on it and it says it comes with a VGA Cord but it seems mine also had a dvi cord. Hopes this helps

Yes, but it's a short adapter, so you'll probably need at least a 3' DVI cable, depending on how far you monitor is going to sit from your laptop.

Pretty sure this model is DVI out - that is the HDMI variant, not the VGA variant. If you have a DVI to VGA adaptor it will work, but if you don't have an HDMI monitor you should start there instead.

This is a standard Display Port to HDMI cable. If your notebook has DP out... and your TV is HDMI in, then this is the correct cable. Your main issues with set up will be the equipment hardware and software. Keep in mind that DisplayPort is higher quality than HDMI, but less popular. This cable just downgrades the DP bandwidth to the smaller HDMI bandwidth. My biggest headache was configuring MS Windows and the TV to work with each other.. filling the image edge to edge, which has nothing to do with the cable.
