I'm glad I ended up going and purchasing this adapter! Plugged it in and worked without one single glitch. I'd definitely recommend this adapter to someone looking to project their tiny 13" Macbook screen onto a much larger screen.

First connect the adapter to the VGA cable, the tv should then recognize there is a pc connected so select the pc input. Then plug the adapter into the mini displayport and enjoy.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Doesn't work with Samsung TV
Written by JM from Bryn Mawr

I'm very disappointed with this. I bought a new MacBook last week and got the VGA adapter so I could use it with my TV as I did my…Read more old PowerBook G4 (via the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter). The new adapter worked fine when I connected it to an overhead projector, but it doesn't seem to send a readable signal to my Samsung LN40A650 television.
I tried booting in to Windows via Boot Camp and got the same result.
I guess I'll have to try the DVI adapter with a converter from DVI to HDMI to use this with my TV. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI (or even regular DisplayPort, which can be directly converted without using audio) would be ideal, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of that.(151 of 182 people found this review useful)
