Title: Electronics/Computer/SoundSystem/etc buffs.
Post by: e_wind on Feb 15, 2011, 10:34 PM
I'm looking to connect my macbook to a 22 inch toshiba TV to use a a monitor. Its going to be strictly a monitor, not watching movies, so I'm not to worried about HD picture or anything. However, I'd like to not use a straight mini DVI to DVI cause I want the picture to be standable.


The TV has Component/AVI/HDMI/DVI/S-video inputs.


Can anyone tell me the easiest way to accomplish this?

What's wrong with mini DVI?

I don't know if you have any other options on a macbook unless you've got an HDMI out

Here's what I'm running now for my study setup - a free 26" LCD (birthday present, nothing fancy) running mini-DVI to HDMI jack to HDMI cable to TV input. Pardon the mess...

The adapter ran me like $20 on amazon.

Nothings wrong with mini dvi, that's what I'll have to use, I just dont to use mini dvi to dvi cause I know it won't look as good as it could. I'll probably take the route you did, I just didn't even know they made mini dvi to hdmi.

Oh I thought you didn't want to use the mini-dvi port at all.

So far, I've had no problem getting 720p out of this on my shitty study monitor and the same on my big HD when streaming Hulu.
