[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1107582, member: 24160"] silvrsable: What options are available when you open up System Preferences - Displays? Have you tried changing the resolution output to the monitor there? Which ones have you tried? Have you tried both of the HDMI ports? TomTom: Sorry, could have saved you a few bucks if you'd been willing to wait a few hours. Amazon has a working adapter under $10 when you know which one to get. It's sort of hidden within another "connect your Mac to your TV thread", so I'll get some links up in the adapter portion of this thread. You shouldn't have any problems with the Moshi adapter though, and it's likely to be a little better quality also, so no worry. The Griffin adapter came out prior to Apple supporting audio through mdp. At the time the description went up on Apple it did not support audio because no Mac supported audio. It did meet the spec required for audio though and will work with the new Macs. The description on the Apple site just has never been modified. And, I don't think that even Griffin was aware that their adapter carried audio for some months after the new Macs started shipping because there was no word on any adapter supporting audio (incl'g from Griffin) for several months after the first iMacs that supported audio shipped. edit: I have added the listing in Post # 4 of the mdp adapters that carry audio.
