 works well when it works May 25, 2008
I use this cable to connect my Macbook to a 22" Viewsonic LCD as a desktop replacement. It has been shorting every other day since i bought it. So every other AM I fiddle with it for about 15 minutes to get it signal the proper resolution to the monitor. Shame on me for putting up with it, but from what I read it's a common quality control problem with this cable - so shame on Apple. If the cable cost more than $20 you would see more bad reviews, but at $19 I figure people just suck it up and buy another one.

This cable works well. It does what its meant to do. However, just know that this is not the only cable you will need if you're trying to hook your laptop to a projector or monitor. You will need this cable and usually a VGA to VGA because this cable is tiny.
 A Must Have for MacBook Owners March 31, 2008
I use my macbook 90% of the time as a desktop replacement system with the DVI to mini-dvi adapter. However, I would recommend purchasing both the mini-dvi and the vga adapters.
First, the next lcd you buy your probably going to be using DVI, so you will have it on hand. Second, if you already use DVI, its nice to have the VGA adapter in your laptop case. Why? When you go into the field you can easily connect up your macbook to a clients monitor or better yet, to an overhead projection system...in addition, if your DVI lcd ever goes out you can pull out an old CRT or LCD and hook up the VGA adapter and not lose any downtime.
Again, purchase both the DVI to mini-dvi and the DVI to VGA at the same time, here on amazon, and you will save some money.
Lastly, don't purchase this on amazon from Circuit City! I did and they sent me the DVI to S-VIDEO adapter instead.
Works fine January 3, 2008
This product works well with connecting any Mac with a mini DVI port to a VGA cable. The only problem I had is that Apple should have either included this WITH the computers at no additional charge. No one should have to pay extra money for a feature (in this case the VGA port) that is normally standard. One of the few changes I would make to the MacBook.

I simply love it!, I just needed to connect my macbook to my LCD HDTV and it works perfectly!, now I don't even need a dvd player to play my movies! It's easy to use and has something unvaluable, Apple's warranty and support!
