StarTech.com MDP2DVIW Mini DisplayPort to DVI Video Adapter Converter - White

Pros: Cheaper than Microsoft version but works just as well.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I bought this so I could do Powerpoint presentations using older projectors that have VGA only. It does an excellent job, and it's reasonably priced.

Overall Review: Yes, would recommend

Pros: Does it's Job. Didn't malfunction. Allows the VGA to screw in (not that it would slide out anyway).

Cons: Honestly can't think of anything.

Overall Review: I use this to teach using the university's ancient VGA projector connections. It works great without problems.

Pros: Very fair price and they just work. I use these with all my Intel NUC builds. They work and I have not had a bad one yet or any defective units. Good picture display no artifacts.

Cons: Price and reliability

Pros: Compact (for laptop use), active adapter, and latest specs.

Cons: Mini-DP side of the adapter is loose in the new laptop's socket.

Overall Review: The first symptom of a loose connection was loss of audio. Wiggling the connector usually kills the video, too, but then brings back both audio and video. The laptop is only a little older than this adapter.

Pros: Works great. Has a quality feel. DisplayPort connection is nice and solid.

Cons: It wasn't free?

Pros: Works great, good quality, got on sale for $17.99, Startech makes nice quality products, they seem to use nice high quality plastics.

Cons: Make sure that you need a MINI Display Port, not regular Display Port.

Pros: Seems to work fine as a simple mini-displayport to DVI adaptor and is not overpriced like some others.

Cons: When plugged into a Thunderbolt port of a Macbook Pro (very recent 2014 retina model) it works fine for getting signal to an external monitor, but it does something to screw up the Mac's ethernet connection, such that wireless internet connection goes away. As soon as I unplug it from the Macbook my internet connection immediately comes back.
