I bought this for my daughter who is at college and has her own flatscreen TV in her room. She wanted to be able to hook up her Mac laptop to her TV so that she could watch either DVD's played on her laptop or streamed programs from Hulu. She was able to get this hooked up and is really happy with the setup.

I had to get this to be able to switch from my new macmini to my pc using my old KVM switch with only has a vga connector. It works fine for this most of the time. Sometimes though you have to mess with it to get it to work correctly. Like I just installed Windows 7 via bootcamp and upon rebooting got a black screen. Only way to fix this was to connect the mini-dvi video connector that orignally came with the mac first and then windows somehow saw the displayport or installed the displayport drivers and I was able to use it with Windows 7. As far as macosx goes you have to hit detect displays to get the maximum resolution for your monitor to show up otherwise you will be stuck with very low resolutions. If bought it recently it should already have the most recent bios update that some people mentioned so no need to update although if you are having trouble this may be worth checking. I'm taking off 1 star for the design of the end of the connector that makes it hard for alot of vga connectors to stay flush since the plastic gets in the way. If you do get it to work you won't be able to tell the difference from dvi since it the display will look just as good and sharp. May have problems running hi-def content also though.

THIS IS NOT A MINI DISPLAYPORT TO VGA ADAPTER, it is a mini-DVI to VGA.

No complications or special instructions. I bought it to hook my 13" Macbook Pro (mid-2009) to my 40" Samsung 1080p LCD TV. Works just like it should. I know some people are having a hard time pairing new macbooks with Samsungs using these adapters, but luckily I was not one of them! If you need it, just buy it.
