I have the 2009 13" Macbook Pro with mini display port to HDMI cable from Monoprice connected to a Samsung LCD (1080p). Display Preferences detects the TV as Samsung but the TV says it cannot detect a signal.
Things I have tried:
- All different combinations of resolution and refresh rates.
- Replaced cable.
- Different sequences of plugging in and turning TV on/off.
What works is Monoprice's MDP to HDMI adapter with USB audio so I know the MDP port is good (detected as MDP, not SAMSUNG). But the simple MDP to HDMI cable doesn't.
