Will it work with a mac laptop? My brother needs to plug his macbook pro into a bigger monitor. Will this work? Thanks.

This monitor works great with a MBP. I have both for work, the only other thing I had to purchase was a DVI to HDMI cable (you could opt for an adapter instead). I plug it in and use it as my main monitor. I was so impressed I bought the 24" version to compliment my iMac at home.

I have heard that macbooks slow down while doing graphics heavy applications on an external monitor. Something about the built-in graphics card and the external monitor having a different resolution.Has anybody tried playing games on a macbook using this monitor?

Yes it works perfectly fine with MAC. I have been using it for over an year. You will have 3 screens with it, usb,mac and lighting port.

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

I am using my Asus notebook with HDMI for this monitor. I have a late 2007 macbook, but haven't tried it yet. It will need some sort of adapter. If you type a word combination of this monitor and your system into Google, there are forums that might answer your question.

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 use one of these: ASIN: B00C7RJQPY "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in Black 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready" with mine. It works great. Very happy with my monitor purchase. No regret at all.I have a MacBook Pro mid2010.

I am using this monitor on a MacBook Pro 2014 with Mountain Lion 10.8 and now Mavericks 10.9. It requires 2 connection cables - one for the monitor (I use the HDMI, but have also used the DVI-to-mini-display/thunderbolt (which requires an adaptor)) AND a usb for the webcam. It works great. Seems like if you have an open USB port the webcam should work.

Should work so long as Display Port used. Understood originally that was similar to Mac Thunderbolt monitor without some features and perhaps notch below in quality.

I believe you will need an adapter as this monitor is VGA. To use with my MacBook air i needed a thunderbolt to VGA adapter

The HDMI input works with my MacBook Pro. I would imagine it also works for a PC.

If your MacBook Pro has a mini displayport connection, than all you might need is a mini displayport to vga adapter. The cablein question won't help you.

it sure would not know if you can connect a MacBook Pro, I use a pc and connect to dvi. however if I were you would treat buying an Apple monitor and would go for sure! ......

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.

Does your MacBook Pro have a Dual Link DVI port? If it does, then yes, it should work.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Depends on what Mac you have. Macbook Pros have an HDMI port so this adapter will work with it, however Macbook Airs do not so you'd have to get a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter first. At that point it might be better to find a Thunderbolt-to-VGA adapter instead.

I'm not sure if it would work for a Mac. I believe you would need a monitor adaptor from the Mac to this splitter at least. It's been working great on a PC, I just don't want to say it will work or not for a Mac. Sorry, hope it works out
