i just got a new samsung LED, is there a way to hook my macbook upto it and watch the dvds from my macbook? the tv has usb ports...thx
 
I used a two-cable solution and never turned back. One mini-display-port-to-HDMI adapter for video up to 1080p on my TV, and one mini-toslink-to-Toslink fiber optic cable for 5.1 channel surround sound.

Mini-Toslink plugs into your audio-out port

The AppleTV preset will copy the DVD in its native resolution, so you don't lose quality ;)
