The newer Apple Macbook, Mac, and iMac series use Mini DisplayPort as its outbound video port. Because Mini DisplayPort has rather uncommon presence, this has put some Mac users into awkward positions: you probably cannot use your favorite Macbook to give a presentation, or output your work project from Mac to a new display, or simply share your own photos to your friends or family on a bigger screen.

Isn’t Mac said to be convenient? That’s totally not what you’ve paid the good money to Apple for.

Well, don’t worry, there are solutions.

Products With Mini DisplayPort

Currently, there is only a very short list of items that use Mini DisplayPort:

* Apple Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 13 inch, 15 inch, and 17 inch;

* Apple Mac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, Xserve;

* Toshiba Satellite Pro S500, Tecra M11, A11 and S11 notebooks;

* AMD Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition with its 6 Mini DisplayPorts;

* Adapters and cables that will work with the above mentioned computers and displays.

The last category of products is what will help you connect your Mac or Macbook to your projector, lcd screen or HDTV.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

You can get 3 main Mini DisplayPort adapters: Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters, Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters, and Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters.

It’s the safest to buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, because essentially every display, old or new, features a VGA port. Especially if you wish to frequently hook up your Macbook to a projector to deliver a presentation. At the same time some new projectors do have HDMI or DVI ports, not all of them do, however they all feature a VGA port, as VGA port has still been the no.1 most regularly used video port in colleges or business when considering presentation.

Having a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, you can now easily output video from your own Macbook or laptop to any type of display. You’re able to:

* Extend or mirror your own workstation to an alternative screen;

* Give presentation to your own classmates, students or colleagues with your own Macbook or laptop;

* Share videos your friends and family on a bigger external screen or TV.

Because the specification also has been standardized, it is compatible with all the modern Macs/Macbooks with Mini DisplayPort. Also, the video output has resolution up to 1080p (FullHD) and 1920 x 1200 without any compromise in video quality.
