[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 919440, member: 88633"] And just for your own benefit, you might want to familiarize yourself with some of the basic kinds of TV/computer monitor connections. Most computers up until recently used VGA connections. Almost all standard PC's have used them with their monitors, and they only carry video. They're kind of oblong, like this: [IMG]http://www.cyberresearch.com/images/products/1119917797.600.jpg[/IMG] A DVI cable also only carries video, is wider and flatter, has three rows of prongs and a slightly longer flat prong, like this: [IMG]http://www.cablek.com/client_file/upload/image/dvi-cable-pic.jpg[/IMG] HDMI is one of the newest video technologies and carries audio as well as video. Its connection is smaller and flatter than either VGA or DVI, and it looks like this: [IMG]http://www.k1cable.com/images/hdmi_000.jpg[/IMG] Mini-display is a VERY new technology that has been on all new Macbooks, so often to plug into a VGA, DVI or HDMI monitor or TV, you need an adapter for those kinds of cables. You can see on the back of your TV that you have one VGA connection, two HDMI connections, and no DVI connections. (The VGA is labeled "PC" because most PC monitors have been VGA.) So you know that one end of any cable you use must be either VGA or HDMI. [/QUOTE]
