Easiest way to hook MBP to a HD TV?

No DVI or HDMI inputs, so what is the best way? Only the composite cables?

I hate threads like this. We need to know:

What model is your Mac and what video output does it have?
What video/audio inputs does your TV have?

Without these it is impossible to direct you to a specific cable, but generally speaking, if your TV has VGA input, it should also have a PC audio input (3.5 mm, like a headphone cable) and you should be able to find a VGA adapter for any type of video output your Mac has.

Details!
 
model is macbook pro 13" (2009)

has no VGA, HDMI, or DVI inputs


TV is a 46" sony kdl w4100 with HDMI ports, VGA port i dont think a DVI port
 
if the TV has HDMI inputs then just get a mini displayport to HDMI from monoprice. U mentioned however on the first post it doesn't have HDMI so I'm confused.
 
how good is the quality hookin up a mbp to tv using that mini display port to hdmi?


pretty decent?
 
im looking to do this also, i have ordered off amazon

Mini DP to HDMI

came to just over £10... will see how it works once it gets delivered... :rolleyes:

Just to let you know, the Mini DisplayPort output from the new Macbooks does not output audio, even though HDMI does. You will need the MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter for video, and one of these for audio.
