I have a new imac 2.66 24" with a mini display port in the back. I am trying to connect it to a sharp aquos via s-video (or component cable). Could someone walk me through this. Also if anybody could post links were to buy the items required (I understand people buy wrong gender etc) I would really appreciate it.

thanks!!!

AFAIK, you cannot connect mini displayport to component or S-Video. You're going to have to find another port to use. Do you have an HDMI port available?

Click to expand...

Why would you want to? Connecting to HDMI is going to result in a much better picture. Also, you could connect the mini display port output to a VGA input if your Sharp has one.

Regards.
