* Extend or mirror your favorite workstation to another screen;
* Give presentation to your favorite classmates, students or colleagues with your Macbook or laptop;
* Share videos your friends and family on a bigger external screen or TV.
Considering that specification has been standardized, it’s compatible with all the modern Macs/Macbooks with Mini DisplayPort. Plus the video output has resolution up to 1080p (FullHD) and 1920 x 1200 without compromise in video quality.
