Unibody MacBook-to-HDMI Solution Coming in January
Cult of Mac — ... have any way to watch the video in my living room. The laptop’s Mini DisplayPort is an absurdly new standard, and that means it plays well with virtually nothing. I could buy an MDP to DVI cable from Apple, then use a DVI-to-HDMI cable to provide video and an additional TOSLink cable to deliver audio, but that sounds like a poor way to spend a Sunday evening. It would be nice just to have one cable to do everything. Well. This frustration should soon be gone. According to MacYourself, an MDP-to-HDMI cable will be arriving in late January from Monoprice.com, ...

So thankfully, Monoprice.com, the internet's favorite supplier of cheap cables, is promising to sell a MDP to HDMI cable late next month, which rocks for two reasons. One, the adapter will ...

Infinite Loop — ... into an upcoming revision to the DisplayPort spec, but if you're wanting to connect said MacBook to a HDTV set, cable and adapter wholesaler MonoPrice.com will have an MiniDP-to-HDMI adapter come late January . And the price shouldn't be too bad the company sells a MiniDVI-to-DVI adapter for just under $10, one-third the price of Apple's similar adapter.
