Griffin also sells this DVI adapter I have one, works well, you just need to have your conventional VGA cord (make sure its long enough) so you can attach to it.

in order to connect a macbook to a D-sub input (which this tv has) you will need a mini DVI to D-Sub adapter that you can only buy from apple. the connector runs about $15. Once it's connected, it works like a charm!

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

Hey man, I bought my MacBook Pro back in 2009 and my cable works on mine for video no problem. The only thing is that you won't output any sound, so I just plug in a home theatre auxiliary cable into my headphone slot. Video is completely fine though! And yes, it goes directly from your mini DVI into the HDMI slot on your TV.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

I made sure that everything was plugged in and I turned off my matchbook air and still nothing. My tv shows HDMI/DVI but it doesn't connect to the macbook. Not sure what else to do any ideas?

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now? I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008.

I'm pretty sure it has no connection to your Mac computer. It's made as a keyboard for Ipads. It took me less than 3 minutes to hook it up to my Ipad 2. Just follow the directions on the box & it should have typing you typing right away. It will look similar to a laptop, only smaller.

You should. Plug in the HDTV, boot the MacBook, then close the lid and it should push the display to the external connected display, which is your HDTV.

I have a MacBook Pro and it's great if you need to stream from your computer to a tv. Your tv has to have the HDMI outlet. I will say I use this only when showing iTunes content or things from my computer that cannot be streamed via Chromecast.

Dirk. I know nothing about the MAC...I'm a PC user and I can't find the paperwork that came with the monitor so I can look up the spec info you need, so I really don't have a clue if it is compatible with a MAC or not. Why wouldn't it be? Maybe if you check online with Samsung with this model number, that might give you your answer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Go to System Preferences under the apple on the menu bar &gt;then choose "Sound"&gt; then click the "Output" tab&gt;then select the output device (TV) you are connected to. This is the process I went through to get the mac to recognize my television. PS. Please try not to use all caps. It appears as though you are very frustrated at me.

Yes, it's pretty easy, and self-explanatory. There are two very different and distinct ends on this cable. The bigger (kinda squished) end is called the HDMI, and will go on your TV. Your TV hopefully will have at least one port that will say HDMI, and that's where you plug that end of the cable (if your TV is more than 10 years old, maybe it won't, but probably it will). The other end of the cable will go on your Mac. Again, hopefully your computer will have the "mini displayPort" port (you would have to check your computer's specifications for that). Take a look at your computer, and see if there is anything that would probably match the end of the cable. If you look closely, the right port would have a simple sign next to it, looking like a screen with two vertical bars next to it (something like this: IOI ) you plug the cable there, and you are good to go. If you have the right equipment and you got the right cable, that should do it. Sorry I can't be more specific than this, but there can be so many variables, and things change quite frequently, so we cannot really be sure what ports your TV and computer really have. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm actually not sure which is which with the display ports but I have a macbook pro and it works. I've actually found that to get the sound to work, you'd have to change the settings on your computer for the sound to come through the adaptor (to the tv) rather than the speakers on your computer. Hope this helps.

Now, I'm very new to Mac so a lot of you Apple lovers probably know this already, but for Mac newbies (myself included), you need to go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose DISPLAY, APPEARANCE and click on MIRROR DISPLAY to get the video on your TV. And to get the sound from your Mac to your TV go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose SOUND, OUTPUT and click on BUILT-IN HDMI OUTPUT and that should do the trick. Hope that helps folks out there.

The one I bought worked. My grandson used it to connect the macbook to the tv, and is using it regularly. You may have gotten a defective one.

Dear customer, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger Premium Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adaptor Cable. This adapter is fully compatible with the MacBook Pro. You may need to configure the output audio device by going to System Preferences &gt; Sound &gt; Output, then select HDMI and you should now hear the audio through the TV. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.
