[QUOTE="Fillysports, post: 1254767, member: 174438"] Bobtomay - Just a follow up from last year. I posted here on 10/4, you gave me some good suggestions but was never able to get it to work - really odd as the cable and Mac worked well on a monitor and another TV but not the Mits. Long story short after numerous other attempts, TV firmware updates, customized software for the Mac display etc, I took a chance and asked a co-worker to borrow his adapter - where mine was an Mini Display to HDMI cable, his was just an adapter. For sure I did not think it would work - but it did, it worked great. Ordered one from Walmart that supported the audio also and that one is working without an issue. I could have gotten it cheaper at Amazon but for the $18.00 I had to option to take back vs shipping back as I still was not confident that it would work but it did. I'm only bringing this up for anyone else that may be having issues with the mini display to HDMI cable on certain TVs. Mine was a Mitsubishi DLP, although it worked fine on all other devices, not this TV, but the adapter works great with video and audio also. I'll post the link for the device below but note you can get likely get it cheaper at Amazon or other places, although $18.00 is not bad.

Thanks again for suggestions in the past and keeping this thread going, certainly is valuable to a lot of people. Regards [/QUOTE]
