Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable for MacBook Air Pro 1080p Gold-Plated Plugs 6 Foot Black

Product came exactly as described. Unfortunately I can’t use it yet until I do a BIOs update on an AMD PC I’m cobbling together. I just needed this cable for an old Nvidia GPU i bought, not realizing it’s output was mini display port 🤦‍♂️ But the cable I’m sure works. Definitely cheaper than best buy. Read more

Solid Connection for Everyday Use This Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable turned out to be a simple, reliable fix for connecting my older laptop to a modern HDMI monitor. The 6-foot length is just right—long enough to reach comfortably from my desk setup without creating a tangled mess of excess cable. The plugs feel snug and secure, with no wobbling once connected, and the gold-plated tips give a reassuring sense of durability. In terms of performance, it delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, stable 1080p signal. I tested it with both streaming video and some light gaming, and the image remained sharp with no flickering or signal drops. The build quality is solid for a budget-friendly option, with a flexible but not flimsy jacket that should hold up well to everyday use. A couple of notes to keep in mind: this cable is one-way only (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI), so it won’t work in reverse, and it doesn’t support 4K. If you’re expecting ultra-high-resolution output, you’ll want a different model. But for standard HD setups, it’s more than enough. Bottom line: A dependable, affordable cable that does exactly what it’s supposed to do—ideal for anyone needing a straightforward Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connection at 1080p. Read more

This absolutely did the job to connect my computer to my monitor, after the port on my computer stopped working. I would highly recommend it. Read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by this cable. I expected it to be the bare minimum of useable at this price point, but I was wrong. It is much more flexible than other comparable cables, and it works perfectly. Whatever plastic they use for the insulation on this cable is very nice, and it is much more pleasant to handle than other cheap cables. IMPORTANT: The bezel around the mini DisplayPort connector is extremely thick, so I can't use it with my Surface Book, which is what I bought it for. When I plug it in, the laptop doesn't sit level on any kind of flat table, so beware. I can't imagine that it would work with other very thin laptops either, so look elsewhere if you have an ultrabook. While I waited for a replacement (I sprang for the Microsoft branded HDMI adapter; it's expensive but I wanted something I knew would work with the Surface), I cut the plastic from around the connector and wrapped it in electrical tape, which let it fit. But, the shielding for the connector is midway through the plastic, and removing that led to problems like having red pixels in the video output at random times, so try wrapping the connector in aluminum foil under the electrical tape if you find yourself it the same very specific circumstance I was in. That sometimes helps. Basically, don't buy this cable if you need to plug it into a thin laptop. If you've got a good old fashioned laptop with a bunch of clearance around the ports, this is an excellent cable, and the price is about as good as you can get. It's easily a 5 star product if you've got a thick computer. Read more

First, a rant: I love sports, but instead of the typical sports most Americans like I go for road cycling (especially European grand tours), World Cup alpine ski racing, and snowboard competitions. Up until a few years ago I could get a lot of what I wanted on regular broadcast stations and basic cable, but these days it just costs too much to get the NBC and NBC's Olympic channel, which provide a fraction of what I want to watch, especially when NBC's coverage consists of highlights with lame commentary that focuses on the most famous American athletes and tons of fluff. So you can imagine how happy I was to discover that a VPN (virtual private network) would convince Eurosport that I live in the UK, so now I can stream everything I could possibly want to my 2009 iMac. I hate having to huddle in front of the mediocre 20" screen to watch streaming video, but a little research revealed that I could get the video over to my TV with this simple cable, and sure enough it works perfectly so I can now watch events in HD. My 2009 iMac is so old that its mini displayport won't transmit audio to the TV no matter what kind of adapter I use, and I don't have external speakers for my computer, but it was easy to run a separate audio cable from the iMac's headphone port to my stereo's auxiliary port. The AmazonBasics cable is very sturdy, but I did manage to break the first cable I bought because at 6 feet it was too short to lie on the floor, making it inevitable that I would eventually trip over it, but I was happy that the displayport plug on the 6 foot cable I bought at first broke off instead of knocking the computer to the floor. Fortunately the 10 foot cable lies on the floor, and now I'm a happy little camper. I have several other AmazonBasics cables which have never given me any trouble, so I'm confident that this is the last cable I'll need for this use. Read more

Used this to connect a new NVidia card with an older monitor, that has only DVI and HDMI connections. No problems whatever -- the monitor was recognized by the card and is working fine. The sound -- via the monitor's built-in speakers -- works too (FreeBSD, Xorg). Read more
