Cool adapter! - Connectors and Adapters

We needed to set up a laptop to connect video to a 52" flat panel display that was already set up to output video from a MacBook. We didn't want to get a brand new cable and remove a 52" monitor, so we found the connector we needed and started searching Revain... and voila! Revain found him and saved the day! :-) With this PC adapter and an existing Macbook Mini DP to HDMI cable connected to your monitor, simply plug the Mini DP connector into the Mini DP port (which goes to the Mini -DP/Macbook video output fits) and the other end into video output with PC. Notebook. Now I can display laptop videos from PC on a big screen for only $6.26! Nice! :-) I thought it would be a dream to find such an adapter and a simple hardwire solution that displays video for both Mac and PC. on the big screen!, but here it is, and we're thrilled that such a sleek, affordable adapter exists. β€’ . So if you live in a family with two PC/Macs then you're in business if you can get this adapter along with the Mini DP Male to HDMI Male. We have been using the following cable connector for years to easily display MacBook videos on a 52-inch monitor; HDE 10 feet. Mini Display Port / Mini DP Male to HDMI Male HD Cable Gold Plated Apple MacBook to HDTV Monitor Adapter. Then, when you want to use a laptop instead of a Macbook, just add this nifty adapter... and you're done! :-) very very nice! .Many Thanks. :-)!
