does this come any longer? By the looks of it, It won't reach to plug into the back of my monitor to my macbook... I would need at least 12 inches

You will need a separate VGA cable to connect to this adapter. They are cheep and easy to find. It's possible the device you are wanting to connect o already has one, or came with one.

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!

It looks to me like you can. Checking your iMac, it seems to have a mini display port; last port closest to the center on the back. The monitor seems to have a DVI-D connector. If you can confirm you indeed to have those connectors it should work. I use it with a late 2011 Macbook Pro driving a 30" apple cinema display and it works with those connectors. My cinema display is the same resolution, 2560 x 1440. This adapter also requires an additional usb connection that is only for power. I suggest you plug it into a wall charger or powered usb hub instead of into the iMac. If the plug it into the iMac and it goes to sleep, the adapter loses power and you can have display issue when it wakes up. An external power source eliminates that issue.

yep, put one end in the usb port in the side of your macbook, and the other in the hdmi port on your TV, assuming your TV has an hdmi port. Works nice and looks great!

I'm away from home at the moment and I can't remember the names of the different connector options it comes with, but I know that I was able to get a small adaptor from the Applestore and plug it into my oldish MacBook. Get the name of the male options on your Benq cords (I think there were two types), and the name of the type of socket on your mac mini (in the printed manual or online manual), and the Apple people will know what to supply you with. Good luck. David.

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

Hi Jerry - this was bought to work with my wife's MacBook Pro, but did not "work" for anything more than 640x480 very irritating. We had to buy the Apple manufactured item. Not sure if it is due to Apple's shenanigans or a defect in this product. I cannot locate the item to answer your specific question. Sorry if this is not of much help (and sorry for the delay in responding - I was traveling).

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.

We have the same monitor and it fits. It's just finicky. I'm not sure if that's a plug thing or a monitor that's been dropped a lot. We kind of have to wiggle it a certain way to make it charge. Hope that helps.

I have this cable and its great. I am using it on a 2012 mac mini. the max resolution i can get out of the HDMI port is 1920 x 1200 though.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

Well, Tara, I actually got a cord from my daughter that she used to use on her Mac (computer). (I don't know WHAT she used it for.) I was telling her what I needed & showed her the one on Amazon, which is black and 6 feet long so when she showed it to me and it was white and 2 feet long & I had my doubts it would be the same thing. However, I tried it and it's PERFECT. The one that I listed at the bottom of the review might tell you a little more about it. Just click on the link when you're on Amazon. It's right there. Good Luck & sorry for not responding sooner! Ive been a little sick. Sue

Does you Macbook has VGA port? The VGA has to be the source for this adapter. You probably need a HDMI to VGA adapter.

You'll need to buy a 8.5in Mac-Compatible Mini DisplayPort 1.1 Male to DVI-D Female Adapter Cable.

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

I Don't see why. My computer has numerous plugs in it and it handles it. I like the 8 foot in length, it helps when you don't have a lot of plugs. I have a flat screen plugged into mine right now. mo problems so far

I am not sure how your MacBook conects to external monitors but a standard VGA cable works just fine when conecting to a PC. I hope this helps
