Horrible Review by Alec
Overall I am on my second one of these adaptors and the first one broke for no reason after 1 day. The second one worked for about 1 hour and then also broke. I wish i would of read all of these reviews before i wasted my time and money. (Posted on 10/31/11)

I've purchased 2 of these and both are broken!!! Review by Joe
Overall I've purchased 2 of these thinking that maybe the 1st one that broke was a fluke....now that my 2nd one is broken too...i finally read the other reviews and realized that this is a COMMON problem!!! If you pay $35 for it to work a couple of months...then i gues its worth it ha! (Posted on 10/24/11)

Trash! Review by Elar301
Overall Have gone through two of these, both of which ultimately failed for no apparent reason. I made certain the wire was never twisted and watched over the second one, like a baby. Now have a Belkin and it works flawlessly. Don't waste your cash. (Posted on 10/21/11)

Broke three days after purchase!!! Review by kounterfeit
Overall I've been using this for 3 days now, probably used it for about 20 - 25 hours in that time, the last day or so it was being very temperamental and now I cannot get it to work at all. Now that I see I am not the first person to have this issue, but only 3 days after purchase! I paid $50 for this, do not buy!!! (Posted on 10/11/11)

The Worst, Don't buy it Review by Angela
Overall This adaptor only worked for two months, and after three days sending emails to the customer service department of Moshi, they did no solve my issue. The worst experience ever. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. (Posted on 10/6/11)

My advise to all future buyers of this adapter Review by Allanprm
Overall The Mini DP connector of this adapter can get damaged very easily so you better be very careful with the PINS while connecting it to your macbook, I recommend you to always check the pins after using it and always protect it with the plastic cap provided. I really think this is the reason why there are a lot of users complaining about the quality of this product (I got mine replaced because of this). Besides this problem which I think needs to be adressed soon by MOSHI, this adapter works perfectly with my early 2010 Macbook pro and my HDTV (audio and video) (Posted on 9/29/11)

HORRIBLE Review by Gatech2011
Overall This hardware has horrible engineering design. The bendable wire loses connection after minimal usage and is not sustainable. The company is impossible to work with regarding refunds or replacements. I cannot believe Apple recommends this product at all! Shame on them. (Posted on 9/11/11)

Bad Review by Mauricio
Overall I just bought the new mac book pro and this was the recommended adapter by the store. clearly they were wrong. The video is amazing but it doesn't even detect audio and when i go to preferences it tells me this device was no audio capability when it says it on the box. I dont know if the problem is on the new thunderbolt output but it believe its not. In short words its not worth the money DONT BUY IT. (Posted on 9/3/11)

Works great on Windows 7 - Don't use OSX. Review by iBrad
Overall This works perfectly on my 2011 11.6" MBA, under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The people complaining about it not working (even after a while) were probably using Apple's OSX.
Tip: Wipe OSX off your MBA and install the OS that works with everything: Windows 7 !!! (Posted on 8/22/11) -
DO NOT BUY THIS Review by BOB

DO NOT BUY THIS Review by Jason Thompson
Overall This product is a complete waste of money. I bought one in January and by February it was working only about 50 percent of the time. Eventually it would only work if set to 1080i instead of the 1080p that it is advertised to work at. But after a few more months even that no longer works. I took it apart and you can see how cheaply its made. Its held together by wax like plastic and masking tape. It probably costs moshi about 87 cents to manufacture these so you do the math and see how much they are ripping you off. If you want a proper hdmi to mini dvi converter go to Best Buy and pick up their Dynex model, it even comes with a one year warranty. I will never be buying a Moshi product again and the fact that Apple endorses them almost makes me want to switch back to PC (Posted on 8/17/11)

Short Lifespan Review by MWu
Overall Do not buy this product...like everyone else, i cannot stress this enough, it works PERFECTLY for the first few months of usage. However this product didn't even last a year, until this product just plain ol' stopped working. If you want a more reliable and long-lasting product, search for another. DO NOT BUY (Posted on 6/13/11)

Good, for a little while. Review by Steve
Overall This was a really good adapter when I first got it, but over time it just started getting worse. Then it just stopped connecting altogether. You would be better off getting the Dynex one from Best Buy. (Posted on 5/30/11)

WASTE OF MONEY - DON'T BUY Review by William
Overall I bought this product at the Apple Store. Over the following 6 months, the device got progressively more finicky with the cord position to the point where it now will not work. Waste of money. Don't waste your money too. (Posted on 4/23/11)

DO NOT BUY! Review by john
Overall The only way to describe this product is the phase "piece of shit". It works great for the first few months and then one day it doesn't. I haven't moved it from the position and suddenly it doesn't work. Please don't buy this. (Posted on 4/6/11)

Very dissappointed Review by dom
Overall Bought this last month from the Apple Store; it worked for a couple of hours and then stopped....Technical Support on this site and the apple site don't provide any specific solutions. I am simply trying to connect my Sharp LCD TV to the MBP 15" and watch netflix content. I would not recommend this product. (Posted on 4/2/11)

dissapointed Review by Ritesh
Overall I bought the Moshi Adapter after a lot of research. Though this one did it job perfectly well, it was good only for a few months, after which it would work only in a specific position and later completely stopped working. First of all Apple does not make a HDMI port on its laptop and secondly its adapters dont last more than a few months.....This is the cheapest gimmick for making money !!!!! (Posted on 3/21/11)

Very Disappointed Review by AKerr
Overall Don't be mislead by many of these other reviews... this product is a piece of junk. I had read a bunch of reviews on it from the apple site so I can't say I wasn't warned but I've had the same experience. Almost immediately it became ultra sensitive to its placement or the connection would be lost. It is incredibly frustrating. If there is any other brand out there, I highly recommend it over this POS. (Posted on 3/2/11)

Average Review by Krzych Wizzard
Overall This MiniDisplayPort to HDMI port is not that bad, though res 576i is not displayed (you can not choose on display menu), and 1080i video in the interlaced display resolution wrong on 1080i preset. Very bad :-(. In summary, the port works perfectly only progressive resolutions. (Posted on 11/4/10)

For all those who have problems with audio volume and video size Review by and
Overall This adapter is perfect. Audio and video settings issue / adjustments are not connected to this adapter:
- Video must be adjusted with the Mac or the TV/Projector;
- Audio volume can't be set from the Mac!! Audio on the HDMI is digital, so you have to adjust the volume on the Television/Projector.
Regards,
AND (Posted on 10/5/10) -

Great Adapter // Works as Advertised! // GREAT customer service Review by michael b
Overall I purchased the adapter several weeks ago and, at first, had little success in making it work at all. I sent the cable to moshi headquarters for testing and they immediately contacted me to confirm the situation. Their testing revealed that the adapter seemed to be working properly. Slightly frustrated, but impressed by the swift and courteous customer service, I awaited the return of my adapter. When I received it again, it still was not functioning in any way, shape, or form. At this point I was certain it was one of four things: my software, hardware (macbook pro 17"), the hdmi wire itself, or my television. I contacted Apple and ran some tests with them over the phone, again with no success, so I took my computer and the adapter in to the Genius Bar. Their testing also showed the adapter to be working perfectly, so my only remaining options were my hdmi cable, or the tv it self. I purchased a new hdmi cable, and brought it home.
IT WORKED!
I am very happy with my purchases all around. It is a shame I had to go through the trouble I did, but Moshi was great all the way through, and their product works perfectly just as advertised (audio included)!!!
Thanks! (Posted on 7/30/10) -
Good! Review by RK
Overall Very good product of quality, audio, video on big TVs is no problem, even with Mac OS X 10.6.4.
The only down point is I am missing top and bottom part of the screen and I have black stripes on the sides instead.. Does it support the 16:9 ratio of the TV's??
Or a setting I am missing, please help!
Thanks (Posted on 7/13/10) -
Good But not Perfect Review by Mike
Overall Easy to setup and video quality is great. The audio is choppy on my macbook pro. About once every few minutes the audio goes out for a few seconds then comes back on. Audio problems occur with iTunes, web content and movies playing directly on my laptop. (Posted on 7/12/10)

video works great... Review by gaothebao
Overall video works great!

Works with my April 2010 MacbookPro Review by Tried this
Overall This works as described with my April 2010 MacbookPro, carrying both audio and video through the mini displayport over HDMI. I wish it was cheaper, because there are comparable adapters for $7 these days... Moshi is just lucky that those ones don't support the Audio yet. (Posted on 6/8/10)

Finally One That Works! Review by Terri P.
Overall After buying a another cable and spending hours searching forums trying to figure out how to properly configure my MBP to pass audio, I was beyond frustrated. I wasn't sure whether it was something was doing wrong or whether it was the cable. Well, it turned out to be the cable! I returned it for this one and it works like a charm. The video and audio quality are both fantastic, and the aluminum makes the cable look and feel of high quality. (Posted on 5/21/10)
