Old blackbook to Samsung

[Haqq]

Hey guys, I have an old Macbook and it has the FIREWIRE port... I also have a Samsung TV.

Is there a wire I can buy that I can connect my laptop to the tv? So I can watch movies directly off the screen like screen sharing it? Or is the quality going to drop.

Thanks!

PS>

This is my side ports.

yup, get a mini-dvi to vga/dvi/hdmi adaptor depending on the input of your tv

keep in mind though that audio is not transmitted via mini-dvi so you would need to either get an aux cable to go from your mac to the tv/whatever stereo system you have or get a special dongle that addresses that issue

That would work for video. Doing a rough google search I found this

Though that is pricy. Perhaps there are cheaper solutions?
EDIT: here is a cheaper one
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ

I think the cheapest way is to just get a long one of these cables

Yeah definitely the cheapest way just realized my tv does have a 3.5mm jack!

Thanks for the help!
