[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1026080, member: 24160"] That is not a converter, I don't care what the seller is calling it. It's not going to work. IT's cheap enough though, so you're not out much money when it doesn't work. You are going to need a real converter to get from a purely digital signal to analog or vice-versa. No adapters are going to work. The #1 clue: most converters will require power, either from USB or wall outlet. If it's not powered, more than liekly it's an adapter and not a converter. If you want to get to a VGA output from the mini display port on a Mac - read post # 5 in the following thread: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/193239-connecting-your-mac-your-tv.html[/url] What I have there is about as cheap as it can be done.
