Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ MacBook Surface with DisplayPort Thunderbolt Compatibility by Andrea Joint

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I wanted to go back but then realized I was doing it wrong!

Bought this for a new Dell U2719D monitor to connect my Macbook Pro 2015 to one of the two Thunderbolt display ports on the Mac (to the display port on the monitor). I didn't want to use HDMI. Initially, despite repeated attempts, I just couldn't get it to work and wanted to send it back, assuming it was defective. But then I found that I just had to do the following steps. and it worked flawlessly.1. Turn on Monitor2. Select Display Port3 from the input. Connect the end of the DisplayPort cable to the monitor4. Assuming your Macbook Pro is already on, now connect your mini display to one of the Thunderbolt ports (use "Display Detection" in your Mac's display settings if necessary). The above made it work like a charm. Canceled my refund :-)

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Weight
