[QUOTE="woox, post: 1394103, member: 248146"] Hello guys, basically I am trying to connect a 2006 white macbook to my external monitor. I bought to cables, a miniDVI to HDMI and miniDVI to DVI and both yield the exact same results when trying to connect to 2 different LCD monitors. The pictures show the result: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Qvtx1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IrAI4.jpg[/IMG] The yellow/green screen changes based off the resolution. Why is this happening? Is this a problem with my mac? I should also note I am not using offical apple adapters, but knockoffs from Amazon - these were given good reivews so I dont see why it won't work. [B]Is this a problem with my Mac or my cables or the reason I am not using an OfficeMax apple adapter?[/B] Cables I bought: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H0REVK/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: PTC Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter with 6ft HDMI Cable for Macintosh: Electronics[/url] [URL='http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LXDJA6/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Connectland CL-ADA31020 Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter: Electronics[/url] [/QUOTE]
