I have just connected my Mac to a new NEC VGA projector via thundertbolt with thunderbolt-VGA adapter. Even though I have done evrything that's recommended for the display differences in both the mac and the projector, the image remains poor, blurry, with a overall fuchsia tint.
What should I do?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Try another VGA cable.
Then another adapter.
I'm not sure what adapter you have...? But if it is an off brand or generic adapter, you should return it and get a > Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Thank you. I have an Apple Thunderbolt to VGA adapter that is brand new. My Mac intel does not have a Mini Display Port. It has 2 Thunderbolt ports, 4 USB ports, 1 Firewire, and 1 for the ethernet.
The Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter is what works in the Thunderbolt Port.

Did you try a different VGA cable like I suggested...?
Did you try a different Adapter like I suggested...? If not, then take that adapter to your local AASP and have them test it.
Yes I tried a different cable, but not a different adapter since I only have on e (Thunderbolt to vga) adapter. But today I will go to the Apple store. Thank you again.
You are welcome!
Please let us know how that goes..
Thank you again. I found the problem. It was not the adapter that was malfunctioning, it was the brand new VGA cable from Monster Digital Life that I purchased at Best Buy that was the culprit!
Glad to hear that a different VGA cable solved the problem.
