Work well, the only type available to hook up my mac to my sony TV
It's used in conjunction with a Dvi-d dual link cable to connect a macbook to my LCD TV. For what you get. it's over priced and very short. It works ok, but like i said. It could be longer.
I expect a certain level of inaccuracies using a VGA cable for an LCD screen (rather than a DVI cable where the signal can be digital all the way from the computer to the monitor), but using the identical monitor plugged into a true VGA port on a different computer, the display is much crisper.On my 1280x1024 resolution 19" monitor, the pixels are visibly blurry. This works well enough, I suppose: you plug it into your Macbook and it makes a picture on your VGA monitor. However I find the quality of the conversion from mini-DVI to VGA to be lacking. It's most noticable on text -- where black text appears to have a small halo of blur or other colors around it. Small text is nigh unreadable.
I may just be computer-illiterate (very likely), but I find that once I plug the adapter in my laptop goes nuts. However, with patience and persistence, I can pretty easily get the connection working great. And I love to watch all my online content on the big screen.
So every other AM I fiddle with it for about 15 minutes to get it signal the proper resolution to the monitor. 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. 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.
