Was hoping to connect my 13" aluminium macbook to a samsung HDTV. There are so many cables on the apple store, so I am not entirely sure what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

THanks

Is this what the port looks like? If yes then you need a minidisplay port to HDMI. Apple doesn't make on so you will need to get a 3rd party one.

Also you may want to check if your Tv has a audio input that is with the HDMI input. Because I recently connected mine to my tv and my macbook doesn't output audio through mini display so I have to use speakers.

either 3.5mm stereo to 3.5 stereo or 3.5 mm stereo to RCA stereo for the audio.

The TV came with a stereo cable, will that be sufficient?
