Display adapters are now available for every model of Macintosh and Windows computer to add an additional monitor or television to your computer video and audio signal. If you don't know the difference between HDMI, VGA, DVI, Mini Display, Mini DVI, USB, and FAQ, there are people handy who will help you determine the best way to configure your external display.
The easiest and quickest way to send your Apple laptop computer video and audio to a modern television is with NewerTech's Mini Display Port + USB Audio to HMDI Adapter. In less than two minutes you'll be watching either an identical mirror image of what is on your computer's screen, or using the HDMI television to span your computer's Desktop across two screens: one tiny and one enormous. Resolution up to 1080p is native. Picture and sound quality are great, thanks to the USB audio cable that is part of the adapter hardware.
Telephone, web, and email tech support from NewerTech will guide you if you don't understand the last sentence in the paragraph above. Your HDMI television's remote control has an INPUT button that will be needed to select the HDMI port being used with the NewerTech adapter. Your Mac's System Preference > Sound > Output may have to be set to USB Audio, and the Displays Preference may have to Detect Displays the first time you connect.
One minor grumbles: the three foot cable length is a bit short - a six foot and ten foot version would also be nice. Aside from that suggestion, MyMac strongly recommends this innovative, easy-to-use, set-it-and-forget-it product, with a MyMac Review Rating of 9 out of 10.
