Apple DVI to Video Adapter

What cable(s) do I need to connect my mini display port to a standard TV or flat screen? S-video or (composite)? plugs

I have a new Macbook pro (Snow Leopard) and want to play my videos etc on my old tube TV and my new LCD flat screen model.

  • Your new LCD it will probably have HDMI inputs. Use a mini display port to DVI adapter ($29 from Apple) and a DVI to HDMI cable.

    For the old tube TV it gets tough as the mini display port doesn't support it. You'll need fancy converters.

  • I got the HDMI sorted.

    However I've still got a problem. I thought by buying 2 adapter cables I might solve my old Tube TV problem.....


    i bought an adapter - (Mac store in Singapore) from Mini Display to DVI and also DVI to video adapter - but the female side (Mini display to DVI) has less orifices than the male side (DVI to Video Adapter) has "prongs" so I can't connect the 2 cables.

    any ideas?
