Mini-DVI to RGB??

[kevink8125]

Do they make Mini-DVI to RGB cables so that I can project my Macbook on to my 32" Vizio? Unfortunately my Vizio doesn't have a DVI input.......What should I do?

There are Mini-DVI to composite/S-Video adapters available. See here:

For best quality, using S-Video would be the go.

If you are after the quality of RGB, the only options I can think of are purchasing an unsupported non-Apple-branded adapter (if they even exist), or more costly, purchasing an TV (with RGB) to connect to show your photos, movies etc.

Apple 'invented' the mini-dvi connnection

And they won't sell you an RGB connection unfortunately

Best bet would be to get a mini-DVI -> DVI adaptor from apple and then a DVI->RGB adaptor from someone else.

OK that is what I was thinking, but I had to try the one way route

You simply purchase a DVI to HDMI cable and connect the DVI end to the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and the other end to one of the HDMI connectors on your TV (the one that also has an audio input for your Mac's audio output).

If you already have a spare HDMI cable you could buy a gender changer adapter and save some money. I picked up the complete cable at a local computer parts store for around 12 bucks.

That's all there is to it.
