Mini Displayport To Hdmi Cable For Macbook Pro

I bought this cable because I was having an intermittent problem with my M1 MacBook Air freezing, showing pink screen, then resetting when connected to an external monitor. I read somewhere that using a DisplayPort cable rather than the HDMI one that I was using would help (perhaps the HDMI cable was causing the problem?). Anyway, the DisplayPort cable works fine and the Freeze/Reset problem has not recurred - so far.

On my mac mini 2018 with a 4k monitor, I swapped an HDMI to HDMI cable with this thunderbolt to displayport cable. Huge difference! Before, the entire display was sluggish and unresponsive. Now, the picture is sharp, and the UI is smooth and responsive.

I have this switch set up to allow me to switch between a Retina MacBook Pro and my tower gaming PC with Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card, and it performs the job very well. Previously I had a similar setup using an IOGear DVI+USB KVM switch between MacBook Pro and my older tower PC, with just a DVI-to-DisplayPort adapter on the video cable to the Mac. For the new setup I bought a DisplayPort-to-mini-DisplayPort cable for the Mac (could have used an adapter but the cable was $10 and it's less... lumpy... this way.) I've only been using it for a week or so, but it's working great! Comes with all cables, which seem to be solid quality, and fully bus-powered - small and light but seems well made. The older IOGear DVI+USB2 switch wasn't as expensive as this when it was new, but I guess that's the price I pay for going 4K. I did my usual research on all available DisplayPort + USB switch options before selecting this one, and I'm pretty sure I made the right choice here. If you're trying to drive a 2K or 4K monitor from two DisplayPort-equipped machines and share a mouse and keyboard between them, this is the ticket.

WOW! I bought a fancy new LG monitor here at B&H to use as an external monitor for my 2017ish upgraded MacBook Air. This was a recommended product I tossed in my shopping cart because of its mention of the Mini DisplayPort connectivity. THRILLED I did because it came a day after my new monitor ... and in the mean time, I tried two other cords I had lying around with rather bogus results: 1) Old cord #1 was a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 1 version) to HDMI — Fuzzy as heck but no lag or mouse-move jitter 1) Old cord #2 was HDMI to HDMI cord fitted with Mini DisplayPort adapter — Crystal clear but horrifically laggy and jittery display Obviously I'm not technical but I recommend buying this cable even if you have various options in your electronics junk drawer at home that you think will work ... they might not!

It's always better to have single cable, than to use an adapter and a cable. This one does the job of connecting a DisplayPort to HDMI device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Belkin-Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter 1080p for several weeks now and I really like how easy to use it is. It’s great to keep in your work bag or backpack to have when those laptops don’t have the right port and you need an adapter. I would definitely recommend!

If you're trying to connect your MB Air to a wide format monitor using Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI, it won't work. The resolution is too much and will looked terrible. This cable is the ONLY solution and is very inexpensive. Simple hookup between MBA to LG 29 widescreen display.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Belkin - Mini Displayport™ to HDMI® Adapter, M/F, 1080p , it works beautifully at connecting my MacBook to an external monitor. picture quality is excellent. if need to connect your Mini DisplayPort-enabled device to an HDMI display, the Belkin Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter is a good choice.

Works well with my home and work monitors (Mini DisplayPort for home, HDMI for work), and I can even use two monitors at the same time. My external hard drive works well with it and transfers from it to my computer are fast. When I got my MacBook, I thought I’d have to buy everything all new again, but with this, I don’t have to spend all that extra money. What else can you ask for?

Projected my 2010 MacBook Pro screen/display to a tv via hdmi cable. Sound as well.
