Q: QuestionCan I use this to connect my Iphone SE to a tv or monitor

Asked 5 months ago by dan.

• A:Answer Hello Dan, thank you for your question. The Insignia Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter won’t work with an iPhone SE because the phone uses a Lightning port instead of Mini DisplayPort. To connect your iPhone SE to a TV, you’ll need the Apple Lightning Digital AV (Lightning‑to‑HDMI) adapter. Thank you again for reaching out. Poojitha | Insignia

Asked 8 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer If you are looking at the Insignia Brand (BestBuy product) HDMI to Lightning cable, don’t do it. Does not work with my old MacBook Pro with LG HDTVs. I went to Staples and bought their brand (for less money) and it worked.

Q: QuestionCould I use this cable to turn my 2012 iMac as an external display for my M2 Mac Mini?

Asked 1 year ago by Malikmaurice.

• A:Answer No. There is a way to do it using third party software/and an adapter but I personally don’t know how well it works. No monetary gain or plug as I haven’t used it and probably won’t but look up astropad for this problem. Also note target display mode only works with other Mac’s and if they are both using that thunderbolt 2 design. Apple removed target display ages ago. Good luck!

Q: QuestionHi, does this work with 2k @ 180hz? Thanks.

Asked 1 year ago by JJ.

• A:Answer Thank you for your Inquiry! The Insignia™ Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter typically supports a maximum resolution of 4K (Ultra HD) at 30Hz. It may not fully support resolutions higher than 1080p (Full HD) or refresh rates higher than 60Hz. For compatibility with 2K resolutions at 180Hz, it's recommended to check the specific technical specifications of the adapter or consult with the manufacturer to ensure it meets your requirements. If you require support for higher resolutions and refresh rates, you may need to consider alternative adapters designed for those specifications.

Q: QuestionWill this work with the htc vibe pro VR when contacting to a laptop computer

Asked 2 years ago by Fred.

• A:Answer Hi Fred, As long as your laptop meets the system requirements, you can use it with the HTC Vive Pro. If your laptop does not have a DisplayPort port but has a Mini DisplayPort port instead, you can purchase a Mini DisplayPort-to-Mini DisplayPort 1.2 or newer cable, and then connect it to the link box and to your laptop. Make sure that the cable you purchase supports Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4K @ 60Hz or higher.

Q: QuestionCan this be used to play media files through a Lenovo thinkpad to smart tv which does not have a VGA input port

Asked 3 years ago by Doda.
