| hey, I have a similar setup with my 20" AL iMac and 27" samsung LCD HDTV. Pick up a mini-dvi to dvi adapter from apple ($20 CAN), and a dvi to hdmi cable (i found one at futureshop for ~$30). works like a charm, OS X even gets the 1360x760 resolution right.
also, while HDMI does support sound, it will not in this case. your computer's dvi connection only outputs video, so no audio will be sent to the tv. but the solution is simple enough, just buy a $5 stereo-mini to RCA audio cable (stereo-mini into your mac, rca red and white into your tv or sound system, all connections are male).
is vga an option? if your TV has a VGA input, then you could just buy an apple mini-dvi to VGA adapter and a cheap VGA cable instead of the more expensive dvi to hdmi cable. You'll get the same resolution, and quality will be just as good (on a 720p hdtv anyway). |
