With my dad's MacBook pro I was able to hook it up to our HDTV using a DVI to VGA adapter, but we were never able to hook up the audio. Have any of you connected your laptops to an HDTV? If there were a video plus audio solution, that would be ideal, but I'm guessing that is not the case. So is there a cheap video adapter I can buy? My TV has HDMI, VGA, and various component inputs.
Got a tip for us?

Then find yourself the appropriate video and audio cables to go with the video adapter/audio inputs associated with that adapter's port on your TV. Each TV manufacturer can be different as to which audio inputs they couple with which computer video input option (RCA red/white plug vs. 3.5mm minijack)
