My pc graphics card has mini display ports... I only see this is for apple... will it work with windows also?

it works, but it's a passive adapter. As long as you don't need an active adapter, it'll do the job

It may depend on what kind of graphics card you have. I had a ThinkPad laptop with miniDP port and I tried to connect to a DVI monitor using this device and I could not find a way to show anything on my monitor and I was using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

This not for just Apple products. This connection is mini display port to HDMI. (not thunderbolt)

The display plugs in via VGA port, so it will display what's on your windows 8 computer. The driver however is made for the previous operating system. I personally do not own a windows 8 computer with a VGA port. So I can't confirm the driver would work.In short, it will show what's on your computer just like any screen. But the pen function may, or may not work.

This card has 6 mini Display ports, not Mini DVI, there is a huge difference. You would need to find mini Display port to DVI or DSUB, whichever you want to hook up to your computer. Monoprice.com sells good ones for very inexpensive.

I use an "Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" for my monitor at work that runs 1920x1080 resolution. However, the standard DisplayPort adapters max out at 1920x1200, so at home, I use the "Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension" to connect to my 30" Apple Cinema Display that runs 2560x1600. You obviously don't have to use Apple.. I'm sure any Mini Display Port adapter will work. I just find Apple adapters to be high quality and readily available.

This will work with any display port whether it is onboard graphics or discrete graphics, and yes you could use it for an apple thunderbolt display.

It will only work on your machine if you have one of the motherboards manufactured by asustek. If it is one of the few motherboards that supports it, then yes it will work with your apple display provided that you have a video connection leading into the apple display from either onboard or discrete graphics.

I'm using a hackintosh rig running Mavericks. With Chimera and the proper drivers, I am using a second graphics card to dual display with an HDMI and a DVI. I'm sure the motherboard could handle dual display HDMI though-- I don't see why they'd put it in otherwise.

If u have a apple air this should work and needs no drivers. As with other pcs i have not tried this on them. It was made for macs only.

my PC nvidia display card has a display port ---my monitor has HDMI -- it works flawlessly and i don't need an adapter

If your windows computer has the corresponding input "a mini displayport" then this adapter should work. I have a mac, and this adapter works perfectly.

AFAIK, as long as you are using a video card with the appropriate output cord (HDMI, etc.) I believe that it will work just fine. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I have a friend with the same monitor that is dual-booting OSX & Win7 using a Nvidia card with no probs.

This is really a mini-VGA. This item IS NOT a mini display port. I am using this mini-vga to connect my 10-year-old Macbook to my television and it works great. This is the only place I've been able to find the mini-VGA adapter.

I have only used this device with Windows based PCs. I've looked to see if there is any support for Mac OSX, but can't find anything. It may work, but honestly, you might be better off looking for a different product.
