Has anyone heard any news on a mini displayport to HDMI adapter? I know that there have been a couple companies (monoprice.com) that have promised this adapter by the end of January 2009 but I just got a 22 inch lcd tv for Christmas and want to hook my unibody mbp to it.
Got a tip for us?

The 'mini displayport' is actually a MiniDVI and so what you need is a MiniDVI to HDMI cable, of which Ebay has thousands.
No. Mini Display Port is actually Mini Display Port. Mini DVI is Mini DVI
Mini Display Port = Unibody Late 2008 MacBook, Macbook Pro, MacBook Air.
Mini DVI = iMac, MacBook (White or Black)
I believe a Mini-display port to HDMI does not exist as of writing this reply.
Yes that will work, but you need to run sound separately. You may also experience overscan problems; the overscan checkbox that would have appeared on the previous generation Macbook apparently no longer shows up with the new ones; this may or may not pose an issue in your case.
Well; I bought a 22 inch full HD screen for my MacBook which included a standard DVI-cable.. yeah, 29 ain't cheap but the end result is a gorgeous full HD screen on which games and movies look great..
Btw, the only 'real' difference between DVI and HDMI is the included audio in the latter; picture quality is really the same. So if you have a DVI port on your tv, a mini display-port to dvi adapter will suffice.
Well we can only hope more of those companies will license it from Apple sooner than later.
