Serious noise / interference problems - as widely reported

I purchased one of these (expensive) adaptors for use with a new MacBook. Unfortunately there is serious interference on black parts of the screen. Many other u I purchased one of these (expensive) adaptors for use with a new MacBook. Unfortunately there is serious interference on black parts of the screen. Many other users have encountered this, so I don't believe my experience is uncommon.

doesn't work properly with Macbook Pro (late 2008) and Dell 30" monitors

beware, doesn't work with a Macbook Pro (late 2008) and any Dell 30" (3007wfp /3007wfp-hc), every so often the infamous 'fuzz of death' appears and your screen beware, doesn't work with a Macbook Pro (late 2008) and any Dell 30" (3007wfp /3007wfp-hc), every so often the infamous 'fuzz of death' appears and your screen will be unreadable, leaving only a re-boot or unpluging/repluging the adpater to bring the screen back, but only for awhile. check out the forums for details, especially the thread intitled - 'periodic Dual-link display problem with new adapter'. very poor show from Apple to release a faulty product.

I've seen several suggestions with several people blaming the problem on 3rd party monitors. I've got a very new MacBook Pro, this cable and a 30" Apple Cinema Display. Mostly we get blackouts (i.e., the monitor goes black for 1-2 seconds) several times an hour. We have 3 setups like this in the office, we all have the same problem. We have tried swapping cables, monitors and computers and all exhibit the same problem. Very disappointing - $3,000 or more in Apple gear and they can't get it to work.

Frequent problems to the point it's unusable

From the start of using this product there was the occasional problem where the external screen would boot with a lot of static, then turning it off and back on From the start of using this product there was the occasional problem where the external screen would boot with a lot of static, then turning it off and back on would sort that... okay. Next got a bit more serious where the external screen would have red lines appearing all over it, then it would slow down and fade away. Pulling the cables in and out multiple times eventually sorted that. Finally the screen would disconnect completely and moving the cables around would fix that however this time even when making as little movement as possible at the desk it will randomly drop off then kick back into action or just completely drop dead. I know it isn't the monitor as connecting directly through DVI from my PC works without fault every time. This has happened on my mac mini and then my Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015). Oh well, time to go cable hunting I guess but won't be buying that from apple again.

Answer

Mini-DVI is single-link and does not support dual-link connections and hence cannot support resoluti Mini-DVI is single-link and does not support dual-link connections and hence cannot support resolutions higher than 1920×1200 60 Hz (165 MHz pixel clock). There are some PC's with single-link DVI connectors which actually support higher than 165 MHz clocks (up to 340 MHz) because they are actually HDMI 1.4. In that case, it's possible to use adapters to convert to Dual Link: 1) Single Link DVI to HDMI 1.4 2) HDMI 1.4 to DisplayPort 3) DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI I don't know if you can overclock the iMac mini DVI port beyond the standard Single Link speed (165 MHz) (it might require a modification to the graphics drivers). Even if you could, all those adapters may cause issues with the signal. I have found that Linux (Ubuntu) supports that chain of adapters better than macOS.
