I have a Samsung LCD TV (LNT3253HX) to, mine does the same thing with my mac it will show the gray screen then stop working. Turns out Samsung LCD TVs don't support Mac OS (that may have changed but I doubt it) but you can get around it by using a DVI-HDMI cable that way it will work.

That's what I did.

As for the resolution, don't expect any miracles I can get decent resolution put pumping up the resolution really messes up the the way it displays (at least on my TV). If you rather have a higher resolution hook it up to a proper monitor (just my opinion).

You can pretty much find it at any electronics/computer store, I bought mine at one of the Apple Stores.

ok so if i bought this cable it will give me the full hd resolution (1920x1080)? 😀

I doubt you will be able to get the resolution that high because usually when a computer is hooked up to a LCD TV the resolution available is a bit lower than what you use to watch TV although I may be wrong, but check your user's manual that came with your TV you may find the answers there.
