I bought this for use with my 2009 Mac Mini, to attach it to a VGA display. The machine only came with a DVI adapter, and it was digital DVI only, so a DVI-to-VGA adapter could not be used. This adapter was exactly what I needed, and it works perfectly. The Mac uses the full resolution and refresh rate of the screen, the cable is sturdy and stays well in place. All this for a mere four dollars. A genuine Apple adapter would have cost 19 eur plus shipping. If you have such an older Mac with a mini-DVI port, this is a recommended purchase.Hide
