I don't know why either my mini-display adapter to VGA or cable to DVI-D works with my monitor? it stays black. Two things work, 1) hdmi , 2) Crystal Link display adapter. Monitor is a hyvision MV220A. Could be my older monitor, does anyone know why?
Mac mini (Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Could be a bad adopter. I have non-working mini displayport to VGA and DVI adopters.
By "cable to DVI-D " is one end a mini displayport?
Thanks 4 replying. Yes, I bought a cable with mini-display port one end and DVI-D the other's. I am surprised that such a seemingly simple task has given so much grief. In fact, I am more worry that my thunderbolt ports are not working more so than the cable and adaptor...the sys info doesn't confirm anything.
What mini displayport>DVI adopter do you have?
I just tried one no-name one and it not work. I tried a StarTec one and it did work.
Mine's are both no name... maybe that's why. Hate to spend more money, but I will check out StarTec's. Thanks.
Send or take the no name ones back and get a refund.
In addtition to the StarTec adapter, I have two Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter that are currently in service.
You can get then from several retail and on-line vendors for around $16 US.
