Could not get it to work as hoped and tossed it with all the failed tries. Still looking for solution to my problem. Best solution seems to pay cost for hardware with built in solution. Old school learn hard.

Did you select SOURCE and the proper HDMI port on your TV (not cable) remote ? Have successfully used the adapter cable on several different TV models. You also have to go into the System Preferences (Mac) or Control Panel (PC) to select the proper sound output

I'm sorry I don't know. I only plug it to my macbook pro for the hdmi adapter.

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered. Macs are annoying when it comes to hdmi crap ill give you that

How about thunderbolt to HDMI from macbook pro 13" retina to the Asus? Mine doesn't work :(

I had no issue with my rMBP. I usually just use HDMI, but a Thunderbolt (Mini-display port) to Display Port will also work, as well as Thumderbolt to DVI.

The monitor works well on a Macbook Pro ---- HOWEVER, you will lose your ability to control the volume settings from your keyboard if you choose to use the built-in HDMI audio. If you know of any work-around for this, please let me know.

I couldn't get mine to work with my MacBook Pro either. I just gave up. Too late and too much hassle to send it back. Tom in Florida

you would need an hdmi cable if you have the newer macbook pro's with an hdmi input. Otherwise you do need a thunderbolt adapter for vga.

I use this adaptor to connect a projector to my Macbook Pro. I have not tried to connect a monitor. Call the Apple Store and ask them.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

If you don't have a Mac, I'm not sure this adapter works. Make sure the proper input is selected on the TV and the connectors are pushed in all the way. Also, try connecting the adapter with the computer turned off. !f that's the way you did it, try connecting with the computer turned on. We need more detail (model of computer, model of TV,etc.) for more detailed advice.

Yes, I've connected my Apple MacBook Pro to it, using an HDMI adapter. I also use Roku, instead of cable for many of my non-broadcast viewing options -such as Netflix, Amazon, Prime, and MLB TV. Works great!

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2914&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2914&gclid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg. Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

I have. After a few months my Mac was not detecting my external display. I was able to unplug this adapter a few times and eventually it would detect the tv display. However after another month or so it stopped working all together. I ordered a replacement and it has been working so far, there are few options for early 2010 MacBooks.
