Hi guys,

I currently have my windows desktop connected to a Panasonic HDTV display via a HDMI cable connection. Does the Mac Pro have a HDMI output? I've checked the website and I can't seem to find it listed.

Also, does the MacPro have its own type of HDMI cables or will the one I currently have work just as fine?

My apologies if this sounds like a totally ignorant question, but I've not used a mac before. :)

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Josh

AFAIK no HDMI without a special graphics card on the Mac Pro. I'm looking to get hdmi in/out and options cast mucho $.

No Mac currently has HDMI. Pick up a cheap little DVI-HDMI (or miniDP-HDMI adapter, if there is such a thing – I don't know) and you're good to go. However, unless you have one of the new MacBook Pros you won't be getting audio through any of those connections.
