    Can someone confirm with me that plugging my Envy 17 displayport out via something like this into an Apple Cinama Display's mini-dp port will work?

    Just want to make sure before ordering it


    thanks in advance

    thats the one, but do note that some brands of adaptors will not work correctly with the ACD, and others with certain video cards. I had a couple that would not work with 5700 or 5800 series AMD cards and more yet that would not work with the ACD ( theyre pickey )

    at that price I say try it

    another one if you dont use 57/5800's

    I have an Envy 173d, which has an AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT

    should I be okay?
