Answer
I have not run one in a big rig, but I do use a big iMac as my primary TV and it works well. A standard 120 volt inverter will power the unit - if you wish to hook it up directly to your rig's DC power it will take some work so I'd just buy an inverter and be done. I believe people do make wall mounts for iMacs; you can remove the little stand it sits on and bolt it right to the wall, if you know someone who's handy with that kind of thing. And finally, unless your sat system is built to direct-connect to a computer, it'll most likely require a TV tuner card such as EyeTV, which is a $100+ add-on... (Bonus: EyeTV cards come with DVR software, so you can pause and rewind live TV and record shows and such, no monthly fee. The EyeTV software is clunky and a little hard to use, but it works.)
Of course, there's always more than one way to do it. Another way of doing this: get any flat screen TV with the correct inputs, plug the sat into one input and a Mac Mini into another input. It'll be cheaper, and you'll get less geek cred but it's a more straightforward way to do basically the same job.
Sounds like a fun project, either way. Enjoy!- Answered by Samuel G from Seattle

Answer
This is a single-link adaptor, meaning half the data pins on this are inactive, and are simply there to allow you to use duel-link cables. If you use this adaptor with a 30" display, you will not be able to provide the required resolution, and the image will be fuzzy as a result. Duel-Link is what you want.

Answer
I think you have a mini DVI port on that model, don't you? In which case, use need a mini DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI-D cable. I suggest a single link DVI-D cable, as I have had issues with the DVI-D (dual link) cable with my Samsung P23XLHD monitor/tv.

Does anyone know what kind of adaptor if any I will need to connect my 13" 2011 Mac Book pro to a standard lcd projector? Thank you in advance.

Answer
The 13" 2011 Mac Book pro uses a Mini DisplayPort. So as long as the adapter goes from a male Mini DisplayPort to a technology your projector uses, you should be good to go. Check the manual of the projector if you are unsure of the interface options.

It will not work for a 3 year old MBP. The Apple LED Cinema Display is designed to work only with Mac computers with the Mini DisplayPort.
