Digital camera reviews of Apple Mini-dvi To Video Adapter
Digital camera Review: Video Adaptor for MacBook (2006 Model)
Summary: 5 Stars
This adapter works great. I hooked it up with a video cable to the television and a monster mini-plug audio cable and it worked right out of the box. Very easy to use and the Macbook automatically changes your display settings once you plug in the video adapter. This adapter does exactly what it is supposed to do.Digital camera Review: Wish I'd gone for mini-dvi to DVI
Summary: 4 Stars
It works fine, but it gets really annoying when you're using it with a widescreen Mac and a widescreen TV. The zoom function most plasmas and LCD TVs have is 16:9 aspect ratio, whereas Macs are at 16:10 aspect ratio, so you can either cut off the top and bottom of what you're trying to display, or have massive letter-boxing. After three months, I still haven't had any glitches that were this adapter's fault.
If you have HDMI or DVI on your TV or projector, don't bother with this. Go straight to DVI with a Mini-dvi to DVI adapter, then get a DVI to DVI cord or a DVI to HDMI cord.
Digital camera Review: Wonderful "It just works."
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most Apple products, this adapter just works, plain and simple. Plug it into your Mini DVI port and grab your S-Video or RCA Video cable and plug one end into the adapter and the other into your TV or VCR and you will have your computer screen on the TV. We have used this adapter to watch movies and TV from the built in Front Row on our Macbook as well as from Hulu and Fox On Demand in full screen. Definitely worth the few dollars the adapter costs. There is no configuration settings with the adapter that you need to tune up. I've used other non Apple laptops as well as converters on a PC and it was terrible trying to get it setup and get the resolution correct so it would look good on the TV. With the Apple adapter you just plug it into the port on your Mac and the resolution instantly adjusts. Perfection.Digital camera Review: Works

What can I say? This adapter does what it is supposed to do. If all you have is an analog TV then this is what you need. However, the picture from your Apple to an analog TV leaves a lot to be desired if you intend to watch movies or videos. This is not the fault of the adapter - an analog TV just does not have the resolution of an LCD or Plasma TV. If you want to stream movies to a TV from your Apple, your best bet is to buy a good LCD or Plasma HDTV. If anyone knows how to get a decent picture on an analog TV, I sure would like to hear from them.Digital camera Review: Works Great :)
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this on my MacBook. Works flawlessly to hookup a TV via svideo. OSX handles this supremely well by remembering any video settings that I use when i have it hooked up. Plug it in and video switches to tv settings, unplug it and its back to normal. I use this with dual view mode so that my desktop stays the same always on the macbook, and i just get extra desktop space when I plug the tv in.
The quality is quite suprising for s-video, very good.
100% must have for anyone that has a nice tv :)
