[QUOTE="StingMe, post: 1001150, member: 75421"] FYI. G4 iBooks support video mirroring to an external display at 1024 x 768 pixels. G4 iBooks do not have a DVI port (mini or other) - they have a miniVGA port for which you can get a (1) miniVGA to VGA adapter ([url]http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A[/url]) or (2) miniVGA to s-video/composite adapter ([url]http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9109G/A[/url]) to get video out to a TV. If your HDTV has a VGA port use that connection; otherwise, go for s-video. As you mentioned, you will need a separate cable for audio - what you need will depend on your TV's audio input options. Buy decent cables and keep 'em short - you should be happy with the video quality. Monoprice.com is a good source for quality cables at a great price - don't waste your money on "Monster" cables. If you can use the miniVGA to VGA adapter I have these available - complete details, photos, etc. at [url]http://stingme.com/sale[/url] Hope this helps - good luck! [/QUOTE]
