i dont know but looks like only apple can use mini-dvi, i was searching google pattent search and dont found anything with "mini-dvi" as name, i love how it looks in the new macs whit all thats tiny conections on a little space, dont understand why any PC have something similar or the same conection

Unfortunately, it appears to DVI-D. I appear to have part number M9321G/B here. Interestingly, while the part has a DVI-D (digital only but dual link) connector the DVI connector diagram shown on back of the the package appears to be a DVI-I (single link). The apple store website does NOT specify
578:
I guess I mean that if it's practically impossible for a Mini-DVI connector to drive a certain type of monitor, or if there is a single source for those cables and they tend to cost a lot, isn't that a problem with the standard itself?
619:
With respect to saying the adapter doesn't work w/ 2009 Mac Mini etc -- it would seem to make more contextual sense to state that those models do not drive the analog pins on their DVI ports (possibly with the adapter statement as an

I am working on a product now. I like the small size of mini-dvi or mini-vga connectors. Anyone know which manufacturer are making this connectors? And if I have to pay and license or patent fee to use this connector?
604:) which actually manufacture a cable with DVI-I. Shouldn't complaints about Apple in particular be listed elsewhere? Like if there are enough complaints, what about a separate page for the Apple-branded cables?
357:
We need a diagram to go along with the pin assignments. There is a good one on the linked Apple KBase article, but its copyright belongs to Apple, so we can't use it. If anybody has one, please post.
600:
It seems like this section is a little biased. The standard itself is capable of more than the current (Apple branded) implementations, but there are other manufacturers (like Dynex....

What you said is probably true, but even so, if a criticism is against the only implementation of a standard, wouldn't that apply to the standard as well?

Does Apple own a patent on MiniDVI, or what's the current legal status of the tech? There must be some reason why it's only seen on Apple hardware.

Some of the points made in the criticism section do not seem to be against the mini-DVI itself, but against products using this connector.

For people with a standard DVI port, it is less expensive to buy a standard and more compact DVI to VGA adapter than for the Mini-DVI.
528:

The cords on the adapters have been known to wear out from bending causing poor video malfunctions such as no red channel appearing.

Does mini-DVI support the full range of DVI signals (i.e., DVI-I, DVI-D, DVI-A, single and dual link), or just a subset?
