[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1770891, member: 131855"] Judging from the specs that you have provided for the TV a connection to your Mac should be possible. Good thing you provided that summary though because I was having trouble finding a more detailed manual. It appears that this model of TV wants the computer connected to a computer via the VGA port Here's what you will need to make that work: 1 Thunderbolt 2 to VGA adapter similar to the ones [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795NH9Z2/?tag=macforums0e4-20']here[/URL]. Connects to the computer. 1 VGA Cable [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JHC68YK/?tag=macforums0e4-20']such as these[/URL]. Runs from the adapter to the VGA port on the TV. 1 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable for sound such as [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I0SI1SG/?tag=macforums0e4-20']one of these[/URL]. Runs from the headphone port on the computer to the sound port on the TV. As you can see the parts needed aren't expensive but I can say from experience that the quality of some of those Thunderbolt to VGA adapters can vary considerably. It may also take a bit of fiddling with the Displays preference pane to get things working well. The screen resolution is less than you're probably used to since the connection is VGA. [/QUOTE]
