Saved the old monitor

Very happy with this purchase. I needed this to connect an old monitor to my laptop via the laptop's Thunderbolt 3 port when I left the desktop the monitor was originally connected to. I particularly liked receiving an email from the supplier, CableMatters, explaining that some upgrades were required to use the Thunderbolt 3 port on my Dell laptop. Also, I had to download a driver for the monitor to make it work.

Pros
  • Waiting
Cons
  • Communication with seller

I upgraded my iMac with Thunderbolt 3, needs DVI support

I upgraded to a good 2019 iMac and found that I can't connect my old but still good NEC 2690WUXi monitor to DVI outputs . I ordered this cable and it works great. Just plug the DVI side into the monitor and then the Thunderbolt 3/USB C side into the iMac and everything went smoothly and then the monitor was calibrated. I hope to have some more time with this monitor and then upgrade. Given the low price of this cable, it's worth it.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Some minor issues

doesn't work with Surface Dock 2

Apparently this cable isn't fully compatible with Surface Dock 2 - it will work for a while, but if you ever turn off your computer and then come back, it won't recognize the monitor size as correct and You must physically disconnect and reconnect the cable for it to work again. I spoke to the company - they said the cables are only meant to work when plugged directly into a computer. It would be nice to know this in the product description!

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Transparency

Works with 2017 MacBook Pro and Dell 1600 x 1200 Monitor

Works great with my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" and Dell 2007FP monitor - 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz Actual maximum resolution of the adapter is probably 1920x 1200 at 60 Hz, which is single-link DVI. From my research: USB-C to DVI cannot be a passive adapter. "DisplayPort Alternate Mode" (ie DisplayPort over USB-C) does NOT include "DisplayPort Dual Mode (DP++)" (ie DVI over DisplayPort). Wikipedia explains it. Hence these cables/adapters have chips that somehow convert the signal. The cable accepts…

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • Protection

Flash Light: Accessories & Consumables

when I connected my 2018 MacBook with this cable and the monitor kept flickering like a flash light. I know the monitor is ok because the DVI port works with other cables, and I know the MacBook is ok because the same USB-C port works with the USB-C>DVI adapter. I have asked for the cable to be replaced and will update my review when I test it. Update: replacement did the same. leave 1 star. I ended up buying a UGreen cable which is 99% better but flickers from time to time.

Pros
  • Video Cable
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Returned B/C, it didn't work + Update

Got a Mac mini, it doesn't work. Sent back, bought cheaper, works perfectly. I don't know if this cable was defective or non-functional. I didn't ask matter, I just want something that works. Update 2/22/19: The seller read my first review and sent a replacement cable. Thanks very much! But the replacement cable worked the same as the original cable. The only conclusion I can draw is that the cable is Chinese junk or a design flaw. Anyway, for anyone who needs a mini USB-C to DVI cable for Mac…

  • Audio and Video Accessories

Quality Cable/Color Issue Fixed Dell 2408WFP

Had to fix a color issue between my MBPro and the Dell 2408WFP monitor I am currently using so I gave Cable Matters a shot based on my previous satisfaction with their products. The original connection between the two devices was via HDMI, and there was no way to quickly fix the problem with software color correction. This cable solved the problem immediately. The cable is well made and just the right length to use with my swivel monitor stand. The DVI-D and USB-C connections fit well, the…

  • Electronics
