[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1015629, member: 24160"] This is for ptpro's equipment. No problem. Wasn't really the wrong section, I'm just starting to try and keep some of these in one place so they'll be easier for not only myself to find them, but others that may come looking also.

Since you have a spare HDMI cable already, there are a couple of options open to you for the video side. 1. A mini displayport to HDMI adapter (less than $9 [URL='http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5311&seq=1&format=2']here[/URL]) and use your HDMI cable. Or keep your HDMI cable for that Blu-Ray player you've been eyeing and get a: 2.

Option 3.
