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. -

Answer
We need to know what kinds of inputs your TV has. Most modern TVs accept DVI directly. Does your TV only take video coax? Does it have S-video in? What are the options here? Posting the exact model of the TV may make it possible to answer the question.

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?

Answer
You need Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter for all resolutions under 1920 x 1200 (24" wide). For resolutions over that you need the Dual-Link.
Everyone assumes (I assume) that you are talking about a macbook, not a mac pro, because I got lots of different answers. I had to find the specs myself, and bought one against the advice of the clerk.- Answered by Ashton H from Denver
