what do you guys think?
any chance of a esata port?
Look folks,
HDMI is the home theater/multi-channel audio/video standard connector. It can carry full 1080P plus digital surround signal in a single cable. I think that a macpro that is designed to run high end video editing that it is pretty much a given that is should have a fully functional HDMI output connection. The days of composite video connections (some do not pass 1080P) and separate 7.1 audio connections are over. Graduate to the 21st century - Please!

Personally, I don't really see the point in having HDMI. You get an HDCP compliant DVI port, and you have the ability to hook up Composite, SVideo, VGA, DVI and HDMI. I do not know if HDMI has the same versatility.
I put HDMI on the same level as a built in card reader or fingerprint reader, they are nice, and people like them, but frankly I fail to see the point in most instances.
I think that the real problem is if Apple did decide to use HDMI instead of DVI/MDP is that HDMI doesn't support VGA and it only supports conversion to single link DVI which seriously limits the resolution. For instance, if you were to run a 30" ACD over single link it would only support a resolution of 1280x800. I don't know about you but I'd think that having that resolution on a 30" display would be absolutely horrid. And I don;t think apple is about to just add HDMI and keep MDP. They seem to be moving to fewer and smaller ports these days.
I don't see the point.. there are HDMI adapters out there.
Way to bring a year-old thread back from the dead guys...
I just use a DVI cable with a DVI to HDMI adapter to plug it into my LCD HDTV and a audio cable for sound. Bought the items through Amazon.com so I didn't have to waste a crap load of money buying it from BB or Fry's

I was wondering if I hook up a MBP 13" with Minidisplay-HDMI and an audio cable, will it be easy to calibrate the screen? Will it display 1080P or only 720P resolutions? (Let's presume it's a Full HDTV)
Also, is the quality better, same or worse than VGA?
Would be generally used for gaming and movies, perhaps music too. If it was without any hassles, that'd be great
that would be perfect!! i use my original CD MBP with no problems on my HDTV at 1920x1080 (mind you it is a DVI port). i use it for blu-ray playback, its amazing
