Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (Mini DP to HDMI) in Black - Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 Port Compatible

This product works great for when you need that special adapter plug and it comes in handy computers I use to see on a second monitor.

I bought this Mini Displayport to HDMI since I have a 2014 Macbook Air that I wanted to connect to the new screen that I recently bought. I didn't want the hassle of constantly unplugging a different HDMI cable from the monitor so I decided to get an adapter so I can just connect to that one HDMI cable. I have a PC for work and a Mac for home use so this works out pretty well.User Friendly/Design:The design is pretty simple and not too bulky. The part where it says "Cable Matters" appears to be plastic which is fine but doesn't seem to be the best quality. Not a big concern though. The adapter isn't too long so it doesn't take up too much space. You just plug in an existing HDMI cable into one end and plug in the Mini DP part into the Macbook Air. It is basically fool proof.Material:The wire itself for the adapter appears to be slightly thinner than most of the HDMI cables that I have bought. I like this because of the ability to stow away more easily. The plugs are gold plated which supposedly makes connection better. I haven't seen any difference since it has been working the way it should be. Only time will tell whether or not this adapter will hold up.This adapter is affordable, convenient, and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market as it is also easy to store away.

This adapter was purchased to connect a Surface Pro tablet computer directly to a large screen monitor, and it works perfectly. It is a lower cost than the brand name adapters (Microsoft, Belkin, etc.) which contributes highly to making this a purchase I can recommend.

I used it for the first time and it broke. The female end in the adapter was too small for the HDMI male end. I had to force the HDMI cable into the adapter. When I removed the HDMI cable from the adapter, the female end came out of the adapter along with the HDMI male end. You get what you pay for.Update to my review above: What I thought was the female end that was pulled out of the mini display port adapter was actually the male end out of the HDMI cable. I figured it out a couple of weeks later when I tried to use the HDMI cable again. Since then, I've used the adapter several times with my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and a different HDMI cable and it has worked fine. I've also used it with my Apple MacBook Pro with no issues. The only disappointing this is that it doesn't play audio with the Mac, only video.Cudos to Cable Matters. They contacted me the first business day after my original 1 star review. After sending them pictures of what happened, they promptly sent me a replacement for what I thought was a defective product, but it turns out it wasn't.

This worked great no issues whatsoever.

I bought this product back in 2017 and I still use it today!! Since my Surface Pro 3 laptop doesn't have an HDMI cable slot on the side, I used this adapter to connect the HDMI cable to my laptop to my television- for study group sessions and it worked great! I'm very satisfied with the quality of it, especially since it's marked at a great price. As I mentioned before, I purchased this product in 2017 and it still works great to this day. The pictures I posted along with the review demonstrate how I use the adapter and it also shows an estimate of the size of it.Pros:-adapter is made of good quality, or at least that's what I think since it has worked very well since I purchased it 2 years ago- it's not bulky, at all and it's easy to carry in the laptop bag anywhere I go- adapts with any HDMI cable- great price- arrived fastCons:-I truly don't have any issues/cons with this product.

I use this adapter on my early 2014 MacBook Air with the thunderbolt 2/mini display port. The HDMI I have connected to it leads to my TV so I can use my TV and MacBook displays simultaneously. There is literally no lag and the picture is crystal clear. This adapter is scary impressive.

This is a great cable for older computers or laptops. I use this cable on a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. It worked the minute I plugged it in without hand glitches and distorted images. The one thing to note for MacBook Pro is that if you want to close your lid and keep the monitor or tv still with the desktop so you can save space, you have to have it plugged in all the time.TL;DRA great working cable that costs less then most on amazon
