[QUOTE="Joe Jackson, post: 1557776, member: 317440"] Thanks. I had a look at the original Apple MDP-VGA adapter, which has a "box" at the side of the VGA port, so that must contain the DAC. I'm pretty convinced though that my cable has no electronics - there doesn't seem to be anything at both ends apart from the plugs. I suspect it might be that my VGA is a bit old, although when it switches into No-Signal mode, the Macbook definitely senses that and flickers between blue screen and single-display mode. I have much less trouble connecting the Macbook through MDP to my LCD TV. So probably just get a new monitor for my Macbook …? [/QUOTE]
