[QUOTE="dansemacabre, post: 1419132, member: 259326"] [b]Toshiba TV / Macbook Pro[/b] I'm almost scared to post this, because I know that everyone is pretty sick of this discussion, but I can’t help but ask for help regardless. I’m trying to connect my Macbook Pro (15 Inch, Mid 2010) to my Toshiba LCD TV (Regza 32AV504D) Additionally...sorry if I've posted this in an incorrect forum category...am new to this. Mac OS X 2.4 GHZ Intel Core i5 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I’m connecting them using a Mini Display Port from the Macbook and a HMDI Cable into the TV. The funny thing is that the Macbook seems to detect the TV (in the display options it comes up with Toshiba) however when they are initially connected both the Macbook screen and the TV simply flash blue and then go back to their original screens. I’ve tried various different ways of connecting them (ie. TV off – connect Macbook – and then turn on ect but the result is the same. I’ve followed all relevant online instructions ie/ mirroring and switched between a number of resolutions (with very little logical behind it though) but no change. I’ve managed to find the TV manual online if this helps.
