    Failed after 3 weeks.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014*

I was using this adapter on a Mac Pro. Worked out of the box and lasted for about 3 weeks. At that point it started to cut in and out and left me without a second monitor (use it for 3D design and photo editing). I couldn't figure out what the deal was, but when I booted in my Windows 7 partition, Windows said it detected a monitor but that the adapter was faulty. Picked up a genuine Apple adapter and everything works as is.I've purchased many "generic" adapters in the past and have had a 50/50 success rate. For the price, it's not worth returning. Oh well. I suppose thats the risk that you take.I can say however the quality is noticeable between this and a genuine. In fact, this adapter with a slightly longer cord weighs 22g where the genuine adapter was 33g. I know, I know I sound like crazy person weighing adapters but I noticed it when I took the Apple one out of the box and got curious. But as I said, you get what you pay for and in this case, I got 3 weeks.

    Save your money and buy the more expensive cable!
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015*

I've used these types of adapters for years and decided to try a cheaper model than the more expensive one.  Don't waste your time.  This product worked for 2 minutes connecting my macbook air to external monitor.  My monitor then went black for 1 second and returned to normal.  I unplugged the cable and put it back in thinking it did not have a good connection and instantly my screen went to its lowest resolution.  I put it back in and then had a better resolution on my screen but then the screen went black.  Went to Amazon to return it and seller has a no return policy.  So, i'm stuck with a useless dongle i shouldn't have bought in the first place.  Only recourse is to write this review and hopefully convince someone else to save their time and money.EDIT: 2 days later... wrote a letter to amazon why there was no return policy for this item and they issued a credit to my account...

    Detects a signal but doesn't work with linux
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014*

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire V5-572G laptop which has a mini-display port (Acer doesn't call it that but that's what it is). I wanted to see if I could make use of the port so I decided to make a run at it by purchasing this. To my surprise the product build doesn't seem too cheap and I had no issues with the ports; it connected fine to the mini-display port side and VGA. However, I use Ubuntu 12.04 linux on this laptop and although the forums suggest that the mini-display port drivers are  available on this version of Ubuntu, I was unable to get an image on my external monitor. When I looked at the display settings it actually shows I'm connected to an external monitor however it won't display anything. One of the issues could be with the resolution its choosing to use with this mini-display adapter but I was unable to change it. I was unable to test it with windows  and would be interested if this is just a linux issue or an actual issue with this adapter working with the Acer Aspire V5-572G.
