Mini display to HDMI on MacBook Air 2012

Hi crew,
I bought this mini display to hdmi adapter from amazon, but the video output / image on the screen goes OFF and ON intermittently. I want to connect a macbook air from 2012 to a monitor this has hdmi inputs.

The HDMI cable is fine because I use it woith another laptop with no issues.

What should I be looking on the mini display to hdmi adaptor to make it work properly?

    Kmart sells an adaptor. That’s what I use for my old mba to monitor

    Wonder how much time has been spent already compared to the $18.90 Amazon cost for the adapter?

      $18.89, so worth it. I time my number twos too, because I have an infinite ability to convert any time into money. Dinner with the family is a financial loss because of all that small talk.

      OP, I have also had trouble with similar adapters and Amazon was good with the return. Return it and get a different one or get one from Kmart. I have found their cables/adapters to be pretty good, except for a USB-C to UCB-A adapter that obviously wasn't shielded at all.

      • Will do, thank you!

        Edit: I can only find usb c to hdmi on kmart. No mini display to hdmi. I'll try another adaptor from Amazon.

  • My $59 Amazon adopter has similar issues.
    The $5 Kmart one works fine.

    This is the one I bought, but not from eBay.
