2011 Macbook Air - HDMI

Now that the mini-display port is gone, I am looking for a way to connect my MBA to my TV... Is there a Thunderbolt to HDMI connection? I am curious, been looking around. Thanks for any help guys!

The same mini-display port adapter works

sorry for the noob question, but that will fit into the thunderbolt port? I currently don't have one to test it out

Yup. The thunderbolt port uses the mini display port design while delivering (eventually) a whole new bunch of exciting possibilities for mac users!

You have two options, you can either get the adapter which will require an additional hdmi cable (but its much smaller and easier to carry around:

or get the minidisplay/thunderbolt to hdmi cable like this one :

I have both and they both work great.
