[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 820160, member: 92466"] [b]early 2008 mbp[/b] I have the earlier 2008 mbpro with a regular size dvi port, but I understand the newest macbooks have mini-dvi. Either way if you have the 15 pin on your tv, then you need a (mini)dvi to vga plug. My mbp came with a dvi to vga plug, but I'm not sure about the newest versions what they come with. Didn't do me any good because my Sony Trinitron Wega only has dvi input. No vga or hdmi. So, yes there are Sony tvs with DVI input, just not very many. I believe it's only the FD Trinitrons. I have a question to add... the tv's dvi input is DVI-D (24+1 pins). Does anyone know if the same plug (male to male) will connect and work with my mbp's dvi port? I'd love to hear someone say they've used the same setup/connections and it's worked before I go and buy the DVI-D dual link male to male cable. Ya know? And yes, it does require separate audio connection. I did see a video somewhere about that. I already have one that I got from the local apple store ($19) to use with my iPod for watching movies on tv via rca.
