It's true, these switches on the portables lately has been a bit troublesome for buyers looking for an end-all cable for all of their devices. But, this is a transitional period, and the Mini DisplayPort and DisplayPort are brilliant concepts and formats. Let's just hope they take off in the mainstream and many vendors start licensing them.

There around $7.00 per adapter... Shipping is around $3. or $4.
Ive ordered from this and can confirm its legit website. ANY one else that can confirm your experience of Mono Price .com please add to this.

Hope this helps.

Read through the rest of the thread, that point has already been made, and IMO is shortsighted. Yes, MiniDVI is proprietary, yes I would have preferred a full DVI connector. However, I would not want HDMI since it does not allow Dual-Link, nor does it allow for analog signals. Even if it had been HDMI, unless you already had the cables you still would be buying them. And if it was full DVI, and you wanted to be able to hook up to everything, you would need to buy adapters. Sure, you can get them cheaper elsewhere, but is $20 really that expensive when viewed in comparison to the cost of the rest of the system?

What I really wish is that there were more people making MiniDVI adapters. Right now I only know of Apple and Dynex making them.
