[DM-MUG] Connecting macbookpro to hdtv

[Roses Derise]

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?
