Answer I have not run one in a big rig, but I do use a big iMac as my primary TV and it works well. A standard 120 volt inverter will power the unit - if you wish to hook it up directly to your rig's DC power it will take some work so I'd just buy an inverter and be done. I believe people do make wall mounts for iMacs; you can remove the little stand it sits on and bolt it right to the wall, if you know someone who's handy with that kind of thing. And finally, unless your sat system is built to direct-connect to a computer, it'll most likely require a TV tuner card such as EyeTV, which is a $100+ add-on.

With the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, you can view your laptop's content on a larger monitor in high-definition 1080p resolution. The adapter connects to a DVI cable (sold separately) and to the Mini DisplayPort input on your MacBook, Ultrabook, or tablet. It is ideal for watching movies or sharing photos on a larger screen.

(Bonus: EyeTV cards come with DVR software, so you can pause and rewind live TV and record shows and such, no monthly fee. The EyeTV software is clunky and a little hard to use, but it works.) Of course, there's always more than one way to do it. Another way of doing this: get any flat screen TV with the correct inputs, plug the sat into one input and a Mac Mini into another input. It'll be cheaper, and you'll get less geek cred but it's a more straightforward way to do basically the same job. Sounds like a fun project, either way. Answered by Samuel G from Seattle.

Best Answer: I believe that in order to do this, you would want the Matrox DualHead2Go DisplayPort edition. They have many variations right now, but there is one with a DisplayPort input, and 2x DVI outputs. This would do what you want. There is also a 1x DVI to 2x DVI model, which you could use with a mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter. Should be pretty similar. I don't think you would be able to tell a difference on screen from the DisplayPort model (as they are both digital), just different cabling.
Answered by Ian P from Seattle. Apr 30, 2012. The Thunderbolt Display it has two cables: one goes to the Thunderbolt port and the other one to the magSafe port.
Once you connect both, you can close your Macbook Air display and instead of going to sleep the Thunderbolt Display turns on and you can keep using your Macbook with the fullest resolution. But you can't do that if you don't connect the magSafe port or if you disconnect the magSafe port when you are in this mode. The reason why I want to do that is because I read that is good for your battery life to charge the battery only when you run completely out of battery. I would like to know if there is any setting that I can change to run the magSafe as the only display without having to connect the magSafe. Asked by Yago F from Scottsdale. Mar 27, 2012.
Best Answer: The solution to this problem is to connect the 'Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual -link DVI Adapter' Apple part number MB571Z/A to the Mac Pro. Then connect a DVI Dual link cable and USB cable to the female end of the Apple Adapter. The Dual Link DVI and USB cable are them connected to the monitor. Re boot open Display system preferences and you should be able to select 2560X1440 resolution for the monitor. Note be sure NOT to use Thunderbolt Port 0 if you are using an HDMI cable to another monitor at the same time.

Click to expand.you mean design wise? They can't really make the DVI end proprietary like with the usb extension, because it needs to be able to plug into any DVI port, including the one on my DVI VGA adaptor! The only way it wouldn't work is if (and bear in mind I know nothing about DVI here) in the current/old large DVI ports, a few pins carry an analogue signal for the VGA, and so all the adaptor does is 'sees through' the DVI connector, and ignores the digital pins.they could very well be able to remove say, one key pin from the DVI end, which will work fine on a DVI display, but not with the VGa or S Video adaptors etc. Saying that, we know that the DisplayPort will be able to output an analogue signal to VGA, but not how the adaptors.
The question is not 'can I?' Because it's certainly possible to create an adaptor that will handle dvi adaptors, or presents the full range of options in the DisplayPort, but in the form of a DVI connector.But as Doug said, Apple could easily have stopped it from working that way! Shoulin: how did you get on?
Click to expand.I was thinking the same thing myself. I just bought a new macbook and am waiting (impatiently) for it to arrive. I was a little put off by the price tag on the new proprietary minidisplay port that will set me back $30 to connect to my LCD display and another $30 so that I can use my new computer for presentations as the projectors I use only run on VGA.
I found a DVI to VGA connetor lying around that my boss bought a year ago for his MBP. Noticing that the pins were slightly different, I enlisted the help of my good friend google and came across an image of the different DVI connectors. The old miniDVI to DVI connector was the DVI-D while the DVI to VGA adapter has a male DVI-I connection (both single link).
If you use this adapter on the old MBP, it can be used on any DVI type (except A). If apple stays consistent with their previous design, the mini displayport DVI will be a male DVI-D so we will be stuck forking out the extra money for a second connector.

Click to expand.If thedude is correct, which I am sure he is, all we really need (hopefully) is a picture of the DVI-side connector on the mac part to see if there are physical connections in the right place. Has anyone got one of these adapters yet that could upload a picture? I'd really like to know, because I have ordered a new macbook from my university computer store alongside one of these adapters (DVI) and would like to keep that, but if I can't use my cheap DVI to VGA adapter I will have to order the VGA one. Hey all, sorry to dig this up again.
I have got a new 13' MBP. Rather than paying silly money to buy an official miniDisplayPort to DVI (which of course is only DVI-D anyway) I bought a third-party one from eBay.
The third-party one, although bulky and ugly, does the job perfectly on a DVI monitor. I should point out that importantly the TP cable is DVI-I, meaning it should carry an analogue signal in the absence of a digital one. However, when I put a VGA-DVI adapter on the end of the cable, and then attach a VGA monitor I get nothing. More precisely, the laptop correctly recognises the external monitor, shows me all the correct modes of the external monitor, and allows me to manipulate the monitors settings. However, no picture actually appears on the external; indeed, the monitor states there is no VGA signal present.

Now then, the question is: Is this likely a lazy third-party who didn't bother to connect the Analogue pins in the DVI connector to the displayPort part of the cable, or is there something that Apple has done to make this infeasible. I should point out that I have tried to get this working on multiple VGA monitors (each one is recognised, but no image displays). The DVI ports that support both VGA and DVI can do so because they are sending both DVI and VGA out on different pins. My best guess on how this works on the mini-displayport or mini-dvi is that the mini displayport/dvi doesn't have room for enough pins to send both the DVI and VGA signals at the same time, which would allow compatibility with a DVI - VGA adapter. What is probably happening is the computer is detecting if a DVI or a VGA connector is plugged in, and then sending the correct analog/digital signals. Since a DVI adapter is plugged in when you try to use a DVI-VGA adapter, only a digital signal is being sent and there is nothing for the VGA input to use. This isn't an official reasoning or anything, it's just my best guess based on what I've seen.
