So a computer donated to our school had this socket on the back. and since this is a review of the cable, not of Apple, I give it 5 stars. Gosh, remember when people would solder boards in their moms basement and write codes themselves. NO. I had to buy this nifty cable which works great. That model was ditched a LONG time ago in favor of the more industry and end-user friendly plug-and-play standards. In some ways it's ok to do this, but in most it's just dumb.
The cinema monitor and computer are great, but they don't like each other, because the tower has a proprietary socket that was abandoned after a couple years by Apple.This all means that I had to find out why it didn't work, and then figure out how to make it work. well, yes and no.
Nevertheless, a very small amount of companies still do proprietary nonsense in their manufacturing. GREAT, QUALITY.
How about when the only personal computers available all had proprietary products usually soldered to the board. There was a nice Apple Cinema monitor with it, both Apple products.
Honestly though, it's a bad business model that uses unprofitable, and dead practices, which force an end user to buy an adapter to fix a companies mistake.The build quality is great for this product and Apple products in general, just frustrating having to buy this. Me either, I was born in the 80's.
it's also been proven to be more profitable.Apple still does a lot of proprietary nonsense like having a monitor that draws it's power from a non-standard DVI jack.
They are a little on the expensive side when converting to the ADC type but it is what it it.Thanks, This product works great.
Apple M8661LL/B DVI to ADC Display Adapter 4038234011420 works great and looks cool, i give it my 5 super stars, its very easy to set up and you can put it just about anywhere, i just love it when a product is intelligent but simple, how ever i think it's too expensive, apple needs to bring the price way down, then it will be perfect.
Let's you use the ADC monitors as you upgrade. with care you can even find some discounted.
I wish I would have made the purchase a long time ago. It is a real apple product and not an off brand re-work. Works as planned and now I have a lot more area to work on my 17" MacBook Pro.
