[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1097888, member: 24160"] There is no such thing as a VGA to HDMI cable. Well, I'll rephrase that, there's no such thing as a working VGA to HDMI cable. Only con artists are selling such a cable. VGA is analog HDMI is digital You cannot get from VGA to HDMI without a converter - probably in the $200-$250 range. If you "truly" have a mini-DVI and not a mini displayport on your Mac, then you will need either: 1. a mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable. or 2. a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. I would recommend the latter - [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041912&p_id=4852&seq=1&format=2"]link[/URL] - [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024004"]link[/URL].
