Is Apple's "Mini DisplayPort" different from standard mini DisplayPort used by Dell, HP, etc.? Can I use this w/a Dell mini Display laptop?

Yes you can use one from Dell, only be careful with the quality.... Regards.

HP, Dell, etc. usually use the full-size DisplayPort. If they have a true "Mini-"DisplayPort, then it is compatible.

I know that it works with Windoes 7 running on my MacBook Pro. If you are talking about with PC hardware vs Apple, I know it also works with a Dell laptop that has the mini display port. So you should be good either way.

you'll need (either an Apple or from someone else), a "mini-DisplayPort (Male) to DisplayPort (Female)" adapter.

I am using it with my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) Part Number MD761LL/A, Model A1466. All of my peripherals are connected to it, including a Dell monitor (with proper adapter), and it works well, just as advertised. I am pretty pleased with it and highly recommend it. I hope this helps.

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

YES! I run my mac book pro with Mini DisplayPort out (mini DisplayPort works in the Thunderbolt jack) to the dual link converter from Apple. It works great and I get full resolution. You will need this adapter and a dual link DVI cable (I think the Crossover monitor comes with the DVI cable). Apple Mini MB571Z/A DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter There is also a less expensive adapter version from Monoprice that should work but I have not tested on my Mac.

No, mini displayport is its own thing. It has the same shape as Apple's Thunderbolt, which has display port built into it, but it is not the same as DVI.

yes you can but you need a mini-display port (apple side) to VGA adapter (PC side). Work fine though.

It only supports DVI, so if you were to try some type of a DVI - Display Port adapter, maybe. I say this because there are other monitors (of this inexpensive Korean import) that actually claim it can be used both on Apple and PC formats. However, this monitor's product description seems to emphasize that it just would not work on Apple computers because of the whole "bypass" thing.

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

Yes, Thunderbolt and MiniDisplay use the same connector. Some more info here: http://www.cnet.com/news/confusing-mini-displayport-with-thunderbolt/

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.

This is the Video Support for Apple Mac Mini MD387LL/A Desktop: Thunderbolt digital video output * Native Mini DisplayPort output * DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately) * VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately) * Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately) You would need to also buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. The monitor comes with a VGA cable. To support the VGA output, you would need to also purchase the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. Otherwise, the monitor works great.

Yep - definitely. Thunderbolt supports Mini DisplayPort. I have quite a few people using these with Thunderbolt ports.

Hello from Ecomade Arena. No. Mini DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter does not works. That is Mini DP to DVI-Single adapter, it only support 1920*1080 resolution rate. Mini DP to DVI-dual link adapter can support 2560*1440 resolution.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
