Does this adapter support 2560x1440 ??? (Why is this so hard to figure out. Can someone from Apple print what is supported on the box.)

Best Answer:No, this adapter does not support monitors over 1920. For 2560x1440, you'll need to get the Dual-link DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter ($99).

Dongle to attach my 13-inch macbook pro (bought in May 2012) to a projector?
Hi!
I have an old dongle from my old macbook, and it doesn't fit. Does anyone know which dongle I should buy to fit into my 13-inch macbook pro that I bought in May 2012? I am hooking it up to a projector in the classroom.
As an aside, what is a thunderbolt for? I don't get these new ports!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!

that is correct - hdmi in this case will only carry the video - audio will go through mini jack (headphone jack) - your tv may have a mini jack input especially for audio from a pc - my toshiba does - -hdmi input 1 can use mini jack audio from a pc - hope this helps - -

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.

Answer
The adaptor supports Single-Link DVI-D. It can support any resolution but only with a maximum pixel clock of 165 MHz. Examples: 1920x1080 at 71 Hz or 2560x1600 at 37 Hz.
The Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter can output twice as many pixels at the same speed to displays that have a Dual-Link DVI connector.- Answered by Joe V from Fort Langley

Will this adapter support 1024X768 resolution via an HDMI converter?
I have a need to support a projector's native resolution of 1024X768 pixels. The HDMI port on the Mac mini only supports the video resolutions of 720 or 1080 high, and 1600X900. If I use the T'bolt port to a DVI adapter, will it support the old computer resolution standards and aspect ratio?

AnswerThe Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter is for connecting a computer that has a MiniDisplayPort (or Thunderbolt) video output port to a display that has a DVI (Digital Video Interface) input.
DVI comes in several flavors. From what I see in other comments, this adapter
1. Does NOT include support for analog output (DVI-A); if it cannot connect the computer and monitor in a digital fashion, it will not connect them at all.
2. Supports single-link DVI. Single-link DVI can support resolutions of up to (approximately) 1920 x 1200 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, provided that the monitor supports reduced blanking intervals (which many non-CRT-based monitors can).
3. Does not support dual-link DVI. Dual-link DVI would be needed to support, for instance, a display like the (now-discontinued) Apple 30" Cinema Display, which has a resolution of 2560 x 1600.- Answered by Thomas N from Marlborough
