Purpose & Audience

Deciding Specification

Questions about this item

What resolution will I actually get when I plug this Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter into my laptop?

The adapter supports video up to 1920 by 1200 pixels and 1080p Full HD.

Does the Thunderbolt-compatible Mini DisplayPort connection limit the resolution or refresh rate I can use?

The Mini DisplayPort link carries the same video bandwidth as a standard DisplayPort signal, so the 1920 by 1200 or 1080p ceiling comes from the adapter itself, not the port.

Will this male-to-female adapter block the ports next to it on a MacBook Pro 13 inch, 15 inch or 17 inch?

The compact design is made to leave adjacent ports free on those MacBook Pro models and other listed Macs.
