Adapter for Mini DisplayPort.

Hello. Can someone please advise what would be the best choice from the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter on a market?

I use to try the famous like they saying Moshi adapter and after 3 month it wouldn't connect!

There is no "best" choice. Almost any mDP to HDMI adapter will do. I always recommend monoprice.com for adapters, cables, and other components. Their quality is just as good and far cheapr than name brands and apple-branded stuff. This is similar to paying big buks for Monster cables when a cheap equivalents will work just as well.

You are talking about digital connections, not analog. It either works or doesn't, period. There is no "gray" area here.


One final point about mini-displayport plugs. Are you constantly inserting and removing the plug? If so it is very easy to not plug the mini-displayport plug all the way in. It may look firmly seated but isn't. Another concern about these adapters with pigtails. They can easily either fatigue or the connections of the pigtail to the plug break if bent or twisted to far or too much. And finally if you are constantly pulling out and plugging in I personally always have the concern about the wear and tear on the socket itself. They are soldered in and mounted but I think they may not be the toughest mounts in the world and could loosten over time and break solder joints.
