Amazon Basics HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Display Cable, 1080p, Gold-Plated Plugs, 1.83 m, Black

quite long also and thick

Cheapest,simplest,most effective way to connect my video card to my old monitor.

No complaints, connects one of my monitor (HDMI) to my laptop (Mini DP). Important to remember that this particular cable will only work in the situation I described, and not if the inputs were the other way around.

I learnt something new after buying this, maybe it will help someone. Apparently there are two different types of MINI DP to HDMI - Active & Passive. This cable is passive. It turns out that I needed Active. I was trying to connect a Surface Pro tablet to an ultrawide monitor but using this passive cable I could only get native HD resolutions and not the differently-proportioned ultrawide resolutions. If you have similar issues, where you can only get a 16:9 or similar picture try swapping your cable for one with an active transcoder build in. I ended up getting the Microsoft branded active MINI DP to HDMI adaptor which solved the problem, but that doesn't stop me recommending this as it works great on my standard 16:9 monitor and the price was great. Just be aware that it's passive and not active, and that that is even a 'thing', as it was a fun fact of the day for me to learn so hopefully it helps someone else.

Do it's job fantastic.

Keen to stop squinting at my 15-inch MacBook screen and increase the amount of desktop space available, I ordered this Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable to hook it up to one of two Dell UltraSharp 24-inch monitors I use for my PC. Getting extra cables for Macs can often be challenge with so many options to choose from. A quick compatibility check on Apple’s website for the specifications of a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) along with Amazon’s detailed description confirmed this was the cable I needed. Well-made and short enough not to contribute to the bundle of cables disappearing behind my desk, it was a quick job to connect the two. The MacBook helpfully offered to automatically reconfigure its display settings for the Dell, switching from its native resolution to the Dell’s 1920x1200, and everything was good to go. Adding in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that I already use for my PC, I now have a 24-inch Mac at a fraction of the price of one of the new 24-inch iMacs—although perhaps not quite as fast.
