What cables do I need to connect my Macbook Pro to my HD TV?

[Pepper Pot]

It is a recently purchased LG TV, and the latest Macbook Pro bought in July.

It would help if you could post some links from the Apple website or whatever, thanks

That's for the older DVI macbooks I think mine has a Mini Display port (?)

I remember seeing a Macbook Pro to TV Kit on the Apple website but I can't seam to find it now.

The link I provided includes Mini DisplayPort models. But I updated my first reply with a specific adapter .

thanks.

I think so:

Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
Moshi's compact and stylish Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter seamlessly connects DisplayPort-equipped MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro systems to any HDMI display. It supports both video and audio* output to your HDMI display.

Supports full HD display at 1080p (1920 x 1080)
Supports HDMI audio pass-through for select systems*
Aluminum casing minimizes EM interference
Compact design allows unobstructed adjacent port access

...

Note: *Audio support is only available for MacBook Pro 13/15/17-in. mid-2010 release; iMac 21.5/27-in. early-2010 release

That's what it says on the Apple Online Store page I linked to.

Try Best Buy Too

I just got a Mini DP to HDMI adaptor from Best Buy made by Dynex, Best Buy's brand, and it works brilliant. Supports audio as well. And it's $19.99.

I'd say yes. It seems to go out of its way to inform you it supports audio. Just remember when you have everything hooked up you have to go into sound settings and select your TV as the audio output. After that it will automagically default to your TV speakers when you use it.
