$14 starting March 15th.

I've heard differing opinions on whether this will carry sound or not. I really, really hope so. I want to hook up to my new HDTV so bad. :eek:

Yup, MonoPrice said this a while back too IIRC. Either way, it's nice to see that SOMEBODY is picking up the port type to make cheaper adapters.

still doesn't carry audio :(


Monoprice did suggest this would be available in late Jan before but they had some issues with finding someone to manufacturer the cables for them. I suppose...:rolleyes:


This is better than getting a miniDP to DVI then a DVI to HDMI cable. :D

No one can seem to answer whether MDP carries audio or not, but if it doesn't, I would think that MonoPrice's adapter would carry the audio via USB or Toslink.

Yes, VGA is analogue so its not that very accurate and might be blurrish/ghosting a little.
The bigger the screen the more noticeable it gets.
