Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male Cable, 1080p, Gold-Plated Plugs, 6 Foot, Black for Personal Computer

Solid Connection for Everyday Use This Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable turned out to be a simple, reliable fix for connecting my older laptop to a modern HDMI monitor. The 6-foot length is just right—long enough to reach comfortably from my desk setup without creating a tangled mess of excess cable. The plugs feel snug and secure, with no wobbling once connected, and the gold-plated tips give a reassuring sense of durability. In terms of performance, it delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, stable 1080p signal. I tested it with both streaming video and some light gaming, and the image remained sharp with no flickering or signal drops. The build quality is solid for a budget-friendly option, with a flexible but not flimsy jacket that should hold up well to everyday use. A couple of notes to keep in mind: this cable is one-way only (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI), so it won’t work in reverse, and it doesn’t support 4K. If you’re expecting ultra-high-resolution output, you’ll want a different model. But for standard HD setups, it’s more than enough. Bottom line: A dependable, affordable cable that does exactly what it’s supposed to do—ideal for anyone needing a straightforward Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connection at 1080p.

This absolutely did the job to connect my computer to my monitor, after the port on my computer stopped working. I would highly recommend it.

Great length - good price

Works well and as advertised.

Hooked this up from a 2013 MacBook Pro to a living room HDTV and it just…worked. No dongle juggling, no driver drama—1080p popped up instantly with clean video and synced audio. The 6-foot length reaches a wall-mounted TV without tugging, and the strain relief + gold-plated plugs feel sturdier than the price suggests. What I liked Plug-and-play on older Macs with Mini DisplayPort (DP++) Solid build: foil/braid shielding, snug connector fit Carries both video + audio (where the source supports it) Great value for a single-cable solution Heads-up Unidirectional: mDP → HDMI only (won’t go HDMI → mDP) 1080p max—good for TVs and basic monitors, not for 1440p/4K Compatibility matters: Works with MacBook Air (2010–2017) and MacBook Pro (2010–2015). Newer USB-C/Thunderbolt-only models need a USB-C to HDMI adapter instead. Some older PCs with Mini DP may require enabling audio over DP in settings. Bottom line: If you’ve got an older Mini DisplayPort Mac or PC and just want a reliable, inexpensive way to mirror to an HDMI display at 1080p, this cable is a tidy, no-nonsense win.

Used this to connect a new NVidia card with an older monitor, that has only DVI and HDMI connections. No problems whatever -- the monitor was recognized by the card and is working fine. The sound -- via the monitor's built-in speakers -- works too (FreeBSD, Xorg).

Good quality, the cord and the adapter are strong and durable. No issues so far. Fits perfectly with older MacBook

I’m very proud of my diy desk office space that I made mostly myself for around $60; not only because most of it was free but because I made some of these things myself. The desktop was a free door from Facebook. I stained and applied poly to finish it. The monitor stand is scrap wood that I had on hand. It’s a very simple and useful way to hide my keyboard when I need more space. Anyways — this review is about a cable not my office. The cable works great with the *free* 2011 27” iMac that I upgraded (the graphics card it’s a thing) and the *free* 22” LED monitor that someone didn’t want anymore. The only thing pictured that I paid for is the cable. It plugs into one of the iMac display ports and the other into the hdmi on the monitor. (You can see I made my own stand out of scrap wood) And yes it’s an iMac but I run windows 10. That’s just how I roll. I put in an SSD but didn’t bother installing OSX because I really don’t use it. To conclude, I like this cable because it was reasonably priced and it works. Thank you for letting me talk about my office.
