About any quirks or disadvantages I can not write anything. This is also difficult with such an adapter. Either it works or not. This has exactly one month without any problems here is serving. Connecting to Panasonic LCDs is also not a thing is working properly. Only sound can not be transported through the port apparently. I do not get it at least and in various forums is also clear that Apple has decided not aware. For whatever reason ... Picture looks, you would expect like digital connection, from top. I have my Macbook "hang TFT and could not detect any shortcomings in the picture until now. The image is as sharp as on my old" in a Mini-DVI to DVI 22 "adapter. In addition, the adapter keeps really well on the Macbook, This could be from the "Mini-DVI" adapter not really argue the wobbled like crazy. Last, you can say something about appearance. Well, as you can already see in the picture, the adapter is not a real beauty, as seen the original Apple adapter worlds nicer. Costs for but it is also 4 times. I am absolutely satisfied with the part at that price (10.50) and can recommend it to anyone who wants to have a digital image for little money.
