[DM-MUG] Connecting macbookpro to HDTV: solution

[Roses Derise]

I found the answer to the HDMI question by calling Apple. For anyone who is
interested and might not know it already, the screens between computer and
TV were not matching so I was getting a blank screen on the TV. The cure was
to go to Display, put it on the correct resolution 1280x720, then go to
ARRANGEMENT and click on the box that says "mirror." The effect is so
cool--suddenly there was my computer screen on a 32" TV! The matching is not
perfect and the resolution is weak for documents but the letters are as big
as fence posts and with a screen this big, its easy to work with notes on
one side and the documents I'm working on on the other. Movies from DVDs in
the computer, on the other hand, are crystal clear. Unless I can find a way
to connect the computer for audio to either the TV or to the receiver, the
only sound presently comes from the computer, which is not adequate. To
solve this problem, I used the earphones from my ipod. :-) :-) :-)



I want to be able to connect my Macbook Pro to a Samsung HDTV but so far I
can't figure out how to do this. I was told when I bought the TV that I
needed a HDMI (M) - DVI-D (M)" cable, which I got and  have connected...but
now what? How do I get it to work? Using the TV remote I was able to get a
screen on the TV that said USB (wiselink) but it also said there was no
device connected. When I did an on-line research for more info, I found an
article that said, "It is important to keep in mind that it is possible to
break your TV by sending it the wrong resolution" and advising that one not
experiment! So, can any of you tell me how to make it work?
