[QUOTE="Fillysports, post: 1120091, member: 174438"] [b]Ugh !!!![/b] So I'm at my wits end here. I have a new 2010 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2, 4GB memory. My TV is a Mitsubishi 65837 and using a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI cable - all in one, no adapter The link for the TV and manual is [url=http://www.retrevo.com/support/Mitsubishi-WD-65837-TVs-manual/id/23498ci752/t/2/]Mitsubishi WD-65837 Manuals, Support and Troubleshooting - TVs[/url] I'll preface this by saying the cable works fine on the same MAC to a Toshiba TV as well as a Dell monitor so the issue does not seem to be with the cable or MAC but the TV. From reading through it seems the TV is not providing an EDID. I have tried all HDMI ports, set them at various times as PC, Blu Ray, and just standard devices - all with the same result. Blue screen and no info being read from the MAC. I even downloaded a program that allows me to modify the configuration of the profiles (SwitchResX) and was able to set to some of the settings the TV should understand - and confirmed it was sending that a part of the profile through System Profiler.

If not any suggestions or thoughts for other options, what would I need if I don't want to connect via digital, what about through a standard RCA video type connection, what adapter or cable would I need for that to connect via the Minidisplay port ? Appreciate any assistance or thoughts. Regards [/QUOTE]
