Best Answer:
You need an other product named "Kanex C247D Single-Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter". Google the name. You can buy it directly from Apple store.

Can I use a Mini Display port to dual DVI Adapter or only to single DVI Adapter?
Should I use the Mini Display Port to single DVI Adapter or to dual DVI Adapter when I hook up my NEC 2690 MultiSync 26in monitor to my new MacBookPro 17in? I know the dual will give me a higher resolution for working with my photos, but didn't know if I can use it? I'm running OS 10.6.3.

AnswerYou just need the single DVI Adapter. You only need the dual DVI Adapter if you ar working with a resolution of 2560x1600. The only monitors that use that resolution are 30" monitors. Your 26 inch NEC has, at most, a resolution of 2560x1440.

Does anyone know what kind of adaptor if any I will need to connect my 13" 2011 Mac Book pro to a standard lcd projector? Thank you in advance.

AnswerThe 13" 2011 Mac Book pro uses a Mini DisplayPort. So as long as the adapter goes from a male Mini DisplayPort to a technology your projector uses, you should be good to go. Check the manual of the projector if you are unsure of the interface options.

Best Answer:you need the mini display port to DVI adapter.
you also need a digital cable with DVI male on one end and HDMI on the other.
the only difference between the output of your computer and and the HDMI cable is audio. Most digital sets nowadays serve very well as an external monitor. most have an audio input dedicated to play with a certain HDMI port. you would need an audio cable that has 1/8" mini stereo male on one end with the normal red/white RCA male plugs on the other end.
On the vizio in my office, I think it will play audio over any of the 3 inputs. I believe the Mitsibushi in the living room requires me to use HDMI port # 3 in order to sync up the two inputs. -

The cable on the Mini Displayport doesn't look long enough to reach from my MacBook Pro to my HDMI port on my TV. Is there an extension cord for this?

Is it possible to use this with a DVI to Video (including S-Video) adapter?
I already have a DVI to Video adapter. Would it be possible to use this adapter with that? If not, are there any Mini DisplayPort to Video adapters (with S-Video) available? I have been unable to find any yet.

How do you connect a 22" cinema display (through an ADC converter) to a 17" iMac?
I have one of the original 22" cinema displays that is in astoundingly good condition. It had been driven by a G5 Quad through an ADC converter. Now I want to use with with a new 27" iMac. However, the mini display port converter has the wrong type of DVI connector. Has anyone done this or know how to make it work?
