What it connects

The adapter links a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt source to any VGA-equipped monitor, projector or HDTV. It is built for MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro users as well as owners of Surface Pro 2 and 3, ThinkPad X1 Carbon, X230, X240s, L430, L440, L530, L540, T430, T440, T440s, T440p, T530, 540p, W530, W540, Helix, Dell XPS 13, 14, 15, 17, Latitude E7240, E7440, Precision M3800 and Alienware 14, 17, 18. A separate VGA cable is required to complete the link.

Installation notes

Plug the male Mini DisplayPort end into the host and attach a VGA cable to the female port; the gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and need no drivers on supported systems. The built-in chipset handles conversion in one direction only, so the adapter will not drive a Mini DisplayPort display from a VGA source. Buyers who need two-way conversion or audio over the same cable cannot use this product.

Practical limits

Video output tops out at 1920 x 1200 and 1080p Full HD, which covers most legacy projectors and office monitors but not higher-resolution panels. The VGA interface carries no audio, so a separate audio connection is necessary for sound. The adapter does not support Surface or Surface 2 tablets, nor does it work with devices that lack a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering the full 1920 x 1200 resolution after connecting it?

Check the display settings on your MacBook or ThinkPad X1 Carbon and verify the external monitor is set to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p; the built‑in chipset converts the Mini DisplayPort signal to VGA in one direction only.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately to use it with my Dell XPS 13?

The box contains the black Mini DisplayPort male to VGA female adapter with gold‑plated connectors; a VGA cable and a separate audio cable for speakers are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version should I choose for a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 versus a Surface 2?

This adapter is compatible with Surface Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3; it does not work with the original Surface or Surface 2, so select it only if you own one of the supported Pro models.
