Could give these a whirl, but honestly, I noticed with Apple products, unless Apple makes it specifically OR it comes with a FULL COMPATIBILITY warranty emboldened on the item they normally don't work fully as expected.

Could try, can't hurt, but that be the best 'juryrig'.

I have one of these and it works perfectly. If you need to use your mac and don't have the time to get the screen fixed now, this is definitely the best way to go. The adapters are pretty cheap as well and can come in handy in other situations considering most new apple computers only have thunderbolt as a video output.
