I am trying to connect this to my MacBook Air with a dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi to thunderbolt adapter, but when i plug it in it just says no signal. Whats wrong? I did by it refurbished.

It probably has more to do with converter than monitor itself. Sometimes some dvi-htmi converters can only connect one direction, but not the other; others can do both. Unfortunately, very often product description does not clearly specify. For my MacBook Pro (not Air), I use thunderbolt to DVI-D connector and it works fine. I do not think Pro or Air makes difference.

You need to use the displayport cables to display at 2560x1440. If your Mac has Thunderbolt connectors you'll need a miniport (thurnderbolt) to displayport adaptor. 2560x1440 will not display with HDMI nor DVI.

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.

I have a Macbook Air and use the Apple adapter to HDMI, and wish to connect to a Infocus IN102 DLP projector through the RGB/Component video socket. Sound is not an issue as I use a separate speaker system. Will the AmazomBasics HDMI to DVI cable work?Thanks,Bulldog1803

No. This adapter only adapts HDMI video signals to VGA. The Macbook Air does not have an HDMI output. It has either a mini-DVI (for only the 2007 first generation Macbook Air models) or a display port connection (more common). If you have a Macbook Air with the display port or "Thunderbolt" connector, you should purchase a display port to VGA adapter if you want to use the VGA input on your Dell monitor. The VGA input has three rows of pins and two screw posts on either side. The VGA cable likely has blue connectors on each end.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

You need to install the drivers that comes with the adapter. I was only able to connect my macbook pro to max 144mbts. The internal adapter connected to 217mbt. Windows is ok, but no recommended for mac.

yes you should be able to. I have 2 hooked up to a mac air book. use the thunderbolt connection for one and get a usb to hdmi converter (radio shack has it for about $40). Hope this was helpful..:)

Hey man, I bought my MacBook Pro back in 2009 and my cable works on mine for video no problem. The only thing is that you won't output any sound, so I just plug in a home theatre auxiliary cable into my headphone slot. Video is completely fine though! And yes, it goes directly from your mini DVI into the HDMI slot on your TV.

I have a mid-2012 11" MacBook Air (Thunderbolt port) connected to a mid-2010 27" iMac (mini Display port). The is the only cable that does that. Having said this, I have found that the cable does not take much flexing, wear & tear before the tolerances of the connections start to get a little jumpy (sometimes connecting on plug in, sometimes not)/ This may be an issue of the computer too, hard to say.

I have tested this in Bootcamp with a 2013 MacBook Air, and it worked for me. I installed the Windows drivers from CalDigit.I leave the lid closed (clamshell mode) when the Air is connected to the dock, and I have a monitor connected to the HDMI port. I use the gigabit Ethernet port, and one of the USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. This setup works for me in Bootcamp with Windows 7. I didn't try hot-plugging the dock in Windows 7. Given what I've read about the Apple Thunderbolt Display, I don't think it work work in Windows, but I haven't tested it.

These devices connect an HDMI output to VGA. The MacBook air has a Mini DisplayPort output on its Thunderbolt connector. This isn't the correct device to adapt that to VGA.

Mine doesn't work either. It was installed and the computer works but the screen has this 2 inch line across it. Apple technical person told me that it is better to change my mac book air. I think this would be the best I can do.

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

You have three options as I ran into the same problem with my MacBook Air. 1) Hold down the option button when clicking the "scaled" radio button within the display preferences. This may reveal the resolution option. 2) Install ScreenResX and set a custom resolution. While this worked for me, it was a pain and I don't recommend it. http://www.madrau.com/ 3) Buy a mini display port to display port cable. When I bought this for $10 on amazon, plugging it in simply worked right out of the gate. No tricks necessary. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7RJQPY/
