Does anyone know a good Mini DP to HDMI adapter? I've been looking around, but i want to see what other people think. I have a 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro. Thanks.

I bought the cheapest thing I could find at my local Fry's store. Works fantastic for both my MacBook's listed in my sig (and a 2010 model I sold). Doesn't do sound on the 08 but that's not the HDMI adaptor's fault

They can be had for cheap from www.monoprice.com and should do the trick just fine

Just ordered the one from Monoprice. I'll see how it works out when i get it.

Last time I checked, it didn't support audio through their adapter. I purchased the Moshi DP to HDMI adapter instead.

I also bought a VGA & DP adapter from Monoprice though so their value is good.

As long as your Mac supports it, the adapter does output audio as well. Their MiniDP to HDMI cables don't though.

Sorry, not sure what you meant

Note: This product will support audio on Mac computers capable of outputting audio through mini-displayport. Additional configuration may be required, results may vary depending on mac model and OSX version installed.

*Note* Some models of Mac’s the connector may block access to the adjacent USB accessory port.

I think you should get a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable instead of an adapter. That's much more convenient.

Maybe but in North America, Monoprice carries the cheapest adapter while the DP to HDMI cable is $50-60 + tax which is a complete rip-off.

According to the product info on their site, it does support audio.

I've actually be researching this over the past week so let me give you the low down.

The mono price min DP to HDMI cable does not support audio. Their tech support said "Within the Mini display port cables, there is a chipset and the chipset in ours unfortunately does not support audio through it, even if the Mac does."
Perhaps their mini DP to HDMI adapter does support audio. I just ordered a cable from amazon supposedly with audio support but they sent me the mono price version... The ones that support audio support mini displayPort 1.1a and there's some on ebay that do this.

Yes their site says the adapter supports audio if your mac does. Here is the item
