    if your TV has HDMI, get a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable.... total cost $10 from MONOPRICE

    which macbook pro do you have? the new unibody?


    If so (and your TV has HDMI), you will need this minidisplayport->DVI adapter in addition to a DVI->HDMI cable (or adapter).

    it's more than a little ridiculous.
