Connect your Mac or PC to a DVI monitor or projector with the Plugable Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter. This passive adapter works with Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) and Thunderbolt 2 outputs, allowing you to mirror or extend your display on up to 1920x1200 resolutions at 60Hz. It's a simple, reliable solution for expanding your screen real estate.
No drivers needed—just plug the adapter into your laptop and connect a DVI cable. The passive design means it relies on your source's DP++ output, so check compatibility with your device. It's ideal for older monitors that still use DVI, saving you from buying a new display.
Works with MacBooks (with Mini DisplayPort), Thunderbolt ports, and PCs with DP++ outputs. It supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. Not for use with devices without DP++ support.
The adapter is compact and sturdy, with gold-plated connectors for reliable signal transmission. It's a must-have for office setups, classrooms, and home use.

Before ordering, confirm that your device has a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 port that supports DP++. Most Apple computers from the past decade and many PCs include this, but older hardware may not. This adapter is a cost-effective way to keep your DVI monitor in use.
Ensure your MacBook supports DP++ on its Mini DisplayPort. If it doesn't, the passive adapter won't work. Also check that the DVI cable is firmly connected.
Yes, passive adapters require the source to output a Dual-Mode DisplayPort signal. If your computer lacks DP++, consider an active adapter.
It is passive, relying on the source's DP++ output.
No, it supports up to 1920x1200, which is below 1440p (2560x1440). For higher resolutions, look for a dual-link DVI active adapter.
I needed to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2015) to an older DVI monitor. This adapter worked flawlessly right out of the box. No drivers needed, just plug and play. The picture quality is excellent, and the build is solid. Highly recommended.
This adapter lets me run dual monitors with my Mac mini. It does exactly what it says, and the video quality is good. The only reason for 4 stars is the price; I think it's a bit expensive for a simple passive adapter. But it's reliable, so I'm happy.
I have a 1080p DVI monitor that I couldn't bear to replace, and this adapter makes it work with my Surface Book 2 (which has Mini DisplayPort). Setup was instant, and the image is sharp. It's a sturdy little adapter that does the job.
I bought this to connect my Dell XPS to a DVI monitor, but the monitor wouldn't detect any signal. I tried different cables and monitors, but nothing. Maybe my laptop doesn't support passive adapters? I should have bought an active one. Anyway, returned it.
I've been using this adapter daily for months with my MacBook Pro, outputting to a 1920x1200 DVI display. It's been perfect — no flickering, no color issues. The only thing is that the plug is a bit snug, so it takes a little force to remove. But it hasn't caused any problems.
I have an older ThinkPad with Mini DisplayPort. This adapter connected it to a DVI monitor without any fuss. I also tested it with a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and it worked fine. It's a straightforward product that does its job. Five stars.
The adapter works, but the Mini DisplayPort connection is a bit loose on my laptop. If the cable moves, the screen flickers. I think it's more of my laptop's port issue, but just be cautious. Otherwise, it's okay.
