For the price difference I will just send the other one back and order the dvi to mini display :)

Thanks adio, I dont know why the stupid mac cant just have a hdmi output like my laptop so much easier!

Oh NOES!! I knew this would happen.

The Macbook pro must have a mini-displayport then :( dammit.

You can either send the last adaptor back and exchange it for this, then you can still use the audio cable you bought:

Or you can send it all back and get this one, but then you'd need an HDMI to HDMI too:

The benefit of the second one is that it sends the audio via USB and combines them both to an HDMI output.

Should be perfect.

Just make sure the audio input settings are set up on the telly as you can usually swap the audio between the PC and HDMI inputs :)

The older macbooks use DVI-I

You'll also need an audio cable to connect to the telly from the headphone output.

3.5mm jack from the Macbook to either 3.5mm or stereo phono (depending on the TV).

1 x DVI-D 24+1pin Male to HDMI Digital Video Cable Lead GOLD 3m £2.94

Hopefully they should work?

What do i need to get? Cable only needs to be 1.5 metres long, and its going from a mac book pro to a HDMI slot on the TV?
