what is the downside to this being digital only rather than digital and analog?
From what I have read this is a DVI-D adapter (Digital signal only). What is the downside to this only transfering digital signal? Does this mean it wont play movies on the external LCD?

Answerassuming you have the older model MBP and not a unibody (which plugs straight in) you would need an adaptor that switches mini dvi to mini display port, to my knowledge, no there is no adaptor that does this. in all honesty though, it would be much cheaper and easier for you (and probably get you an equally inpressive display) to buy the older mini dvi to DVI adaptor ($25AUD) and get a nice 3rd party LED/LCD display (Samsung, Dell, Benq, LG all make great ones) or TV. this way, you will get a bigger screen (for the same money) or the same size/quality screen (for much less money) and the added bonus of not needing another cable for audio signal (because the mini display port does not 'do' audio signal)

I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV?
I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV? I understand I need audio cables as well, which I have. Does a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI exist to "cut out the middle man?"

AnswerTo answer your first question, yes, with the setup you have, you should be able to output HD video to your TV. Granted you purchased the proper DVI-D to HDMI cable as indicated in the reviews and questions above.
The second question, no, currently there is no Apple sponsored Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in existence, and if it did exist, it would have been available for you to purchase when you checked out. -

Which cables do I need to hook up a macbook to a macbook pro?
I own a macbook and just bought a macbook pro and was wondering which cables to buy to use the old macbook as an external display. I've seen people use two laptops and drag a program from one screen to another but I have no idea what I need in order to do that. Would really appreciate some help! Thanks

Best Answer:
You need an other product named "Kanex C247D Single-Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter". Google the name. You can buy it directly from Apple store.
