Thunderbolt 4 To Mini Displayport Cable

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.

Works great. It's an Apple product, and it's pretty much the only way to be sure that you're ordering a Thunderbolt 2 cable in the mini-DisplayPort form factor. I needed to connect two old MacBook Airs, and this made it possible.

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.

It is what it is. It's a Thunderbolt Cable, which is a hardware interface that combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into one signal.

Inexpensive, worked right away without having to mess with preferences and settings; thunderbolt to Displayport.

We purchased this cable for use with a new monitor. We've never used a Mini DisplayPort connection before, but it is working well with no issues whatsoever. The cable seems to be of very good quality, and I especially appreciate the solid connection with the PC interface and the monitor. The product description indicates its use for MacBook products and HDTV, but we use for a PC to monitor connection

When adding a new computer to my set up, I needed a mini-DisplayPort-to-mini-DisplayPort cable to connect the computer to my existing monitor. When shopping for the cable, I found a number that were 1/3 the price, but they all said that they didn't completely met the spec. The B&H cable description proudly announced that the cable exceeds the spec. And, as always, the part I ordered arrived on time.

It is very useful to extend a Windows 10 laptop with a USB-C video output to two external 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 monitors along with other wired USB Type-A accessories like a keyboard and mouse. To have two external monitors, you must have Windows (not a Mac) and you must use the Mini DisplayPort output for one of the monitors with a cable that connects directly to a Mini DisplayPort or DisplayPort input on a monitor. Also, make sure that you connect it to a USB-C port on your laptop that supports video output. I have a laptop that uses the integrated graphics of an i7-8550U Intel processor connected to 2 HP 2415U 1920x1200 monitors, one using HDMI and the other using the Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable that comes with the monitor, and it works great. This allows you to have a 3-display setup at work (including the laptop display) that only requires a single cable to connect and disconnect your laptop as you start and end your work day. It was 4 stars for me because all of this was not obvious and required some research and experimentation on my part, but now it is 5 stars now that I know how to use it for 3 displays. Reading their product webpage helps, too: https://www.iogear.com//product/GUD3C03/?utm_source=productpage&utm_medium=comparisontable&utm_campaign=GUD3C03

MAKE NOTE: You'll need to buy a ThunderBolt 3 cable separately!! Replaced an older Mini Recorder that mysteriously died (I suspect a 3rd party mac charger on friend's computer to blame). Greatly appreciate the expanded formats. These are invaluable for streaming capture or ingest to media performance software such as Resolume Arena. Truly can't go wrong for the price as you can buy another as a backup vs other more expensive options.

Along with a Thunderbolt cable, this cable worked for hooking an older Mac Mini to a recent one with only Thunderbolt 3 ports, for direct data transfer
