Hi,
I have the new MacBook Pro 13" and I'd like to connect it to my HD TV. However, the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI does NOT exist in the official Macbook Pro 13" Accessories section (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13inch.html). Is it because it' not official ?? I watched a few videos on YouTube showing how to do it but my question is: Is Mini DisplayPort like this one (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=211242892&listingid=46329473) is right for my MacBook Pro 13" ?
Thanks for any help !
 
That looks like the one yeah. There is only one MiniDisplayPort as far as i know.
 
the one with audio would be _very_ useful. Otherwise the cheaper one i guess, and taking out of the minijack on the mac to one of the tv sound inputs.
 
Thank you very much, that's what I was looking for.
Well, the main problem is witch one is right for my MacBook Pro 13". So I guess I'll purchase the cheap one. (I think 60$ are too much for 2 cables ^^).
Thanks again :)
 
The Mini Display port to DVI-D is the Digital version which should support the full HD. I recommend getting DVI-D, use that adaptor and then buy a DVI-D to HDMI cable, that will give you a HDMI will pretty much full support. DVI-D is digital, VGA is Analogue. DVI is what should be used for HD outputting.

Try that.

Cheers,
Jack.
 
www.monoprice.com is pretty well-known for this stuff. I bought a Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter from them that works fine. It was less expensive than Apple's too. Next, I need to by DP to DVI.

EDIT: I reread this post and realized it didn't fit well with the thread and didn't exactly answer the question. I was trying to recommend monoprice for good cables and good prices. (And don't buy $50 or $100 HDMI cables. Rip off!). Sorry about that.

Thank you all. You have already well answered my question: Yes it's the right one for me.
I finally bought it from ebay (for only $4.99).
Thanks again.
