[QUOTE="jtdolphins, post: 1108093, member: 73892"] Since you have a newer mac than me, there may be a difference, but I am running SL. Here is what I do to connect my mac to the TV. Regardless you should have a picture without sound. I have my mac on and TV on. Make sure the TV is set to the correct port/input. Do you see anything on the TV? Connect the mini display, then connect it to the HDMI cable. Then connect the HDMI cable to the TV. The screen will go blue and flicker for a couple of seconds. After the flickering stops. Open system preferences, then Display. Click the box Mirror Displays in display in system preferences? The way I understand your post, is the blue screen just stays on your lap top. Correct? [/QUOTE]
