Which adapter (mini displayport to dvi) is best for this cable? I want to connect my Mac Mini to a AOC monitor. Thanks in advance.

I have this one and it works perfectly, moreover it's only $6 http://www.monoprice.com/Product/?c_id=104&cp;_id=10428&cs;_id=1042802&p;_id=5106&seq;=1&format;=4#feedback

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: http://www.amazon.com/BlueRigger-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Female-Adapter/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1380670081&sr=8-8&keywords=displayport+dvi

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

Yes, you'll just need one of these: C&E CNE11274 Mini DisplayPort to DVI Female Adapter Cable for MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air and Mac miniI use this same set-up on my mac mini, works great.

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.

I don't have a MAC , mine is PC. I need a converter - Atlona DVI to Mini displayport (AT-DP400 )

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable. Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time. Scroll down on this link to find the item named "Mini DisplayPort Male to DisplayPort DP Male Cable-6ft" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DisplayPort-Male-to-DisplayPort-DP-Male-Cable-6ft-/181173940008?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 This is probably the same cable on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt/dp/B004CAGDUA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376528786&sr=8-2&keywords=Mini+DisplayPort+Male+to+DisplayPort+DP+Male+Cable-6ft+Cable+Matters

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

This Mini-DisplayPort DVI adapter will NOT work with a DVI-VGA adapter. You need a separate adapter for that. I test it myself because I needed it for setting up a presentation and it did not work.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

You need a DVI cable. This is much better than a VGA for the high quality video adapter you have. Local stores will charge you $40+ for this cable, online you can get them for $12. No Difference as far as I can tell.

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.

First You Have To Know Your Model Number And Start Looking For The Cables You Need,You Can Try This Model Cable-Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to DVI Adapter

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

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.

Hi Thank you for your interest. This monitor doesn't have Mini displayport but Displayport. So you need Mini displayport to Displayport cable. And some cheap cable may not compatible with the monitor. Included cable is only DVI-D(dual link) cable. Thank you.

With a MAC I would try to get a ready made cable from apple..Customer service can't blame your problem on another manufacturer..It's all their stuff.. I don't like adapters. They introduce another source of resistance , they stick out further {bump into stuff, especially with portable devices], and any device with cable management they may not fit. TV/Monitors with a cable trough and a cover to route cables together..Anyway, I'd get it from AMAZON. You can send it back.
