I am trying to connect my Macbook to a Sony Bravia HDTV via HDMI, but are unable to get one to recognize the other. I am not sure what the problem is.

I have the following set up: - Macbook 13' (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2, 10.4.11) - Apple Mini DVI to DVI adopter - 15' DVI to HDMI cable (from monoprice.com, same cable recommended elsewhere in these forums) - Sony Bravia KDL46W3000, (Full HD 1920 x 1080 p) The Sony tv does not seem to recognise the Mac is connected (and/or vise versa). The screen is just black. Yes, I have tried all 3 of the HDMI inputs on it, Yes, I have set the tv input setting to match the corresponding input jack. HDMI does work on the tv though, as I have a DVD player connected via HDMI and that works fine. The Mac Display preference pane does not detect the tv/monitor being connected. I normally use another external LCD monitor with the Macbook via mini DVI to VGA adaptor without any problem. I have tried various solutions others have mentioned for similar problems I found in these forms, such as turning the tv off then on, rebooting the Macbook before connecting, etc.

And every other combination. An hour on the phone with Sony tech support did not get me anywhere closer other than they say the Mac should recognize the tv as an external monitor. Has anyone with a very similar configuration managed to get this to work?

Please note, I am well aware that many many people use HDTV's as a external monitor, but this is a Sony Bravia, not a LG, or Samsung, or anything else. Also, it is a Macbook, not a Powerbook or anything else. Also, I am trying to connect via HDMI, and not VGA. Any tips or success stories would be appreciated. I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but this is something you REALLY need to research before buying a TV. I physically took my MacBook to the store and asked permission to plug it in to every TV I was considering buying. I tried all brands (LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony.) and there were only a couple that worked (Panasonic and Samsung).

I ended up buying a 50' Samsung 1080p plasma. You could try reading through forums at www.avsforum.com or www.123macmini.com to see if people had success with your particular TV, but my guess is that you'll need to use something like DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX to get it working. Problem Solved!!!! П™‚ I am typing this looking at a gloriously HUGE 1920 by 1080 display. I returned the mini DVI to DVI adapter back to where I got it. I threw the DVI to HDMI cable in the junk drawer (with many other failed networking solutions from over the years) and went straight with VGA. I already had the mini DVI to VGA adapter and use it daily on my regular cheap external monitor.

The 6 dollar 15 ft SVGA Super VGA M/M Monitor cable just arrived and the Bravia recognized it the moment I plugged it in, and set the input to PC on the Sony. I would be surprised that if I ever did get the HDMI connection working that it would be any clearer than what I see now. My recommendation is to go straight with the VGA solution and forget the DVI-HDMI route, despite the fact that both Apple and SOny claim that this 'should' work. I hope this advice saves others with this problem the time and frustration I experienced. I hooked my Sony.Bravia 40' up to my MacBook with no problem. From your description, it sounds like you may also have a bad DVI-HDMI cable.

I'm using the stock Apple miniDVI adaptor mated to my DVI-HDMI cable. I was going to go the route you took and use the VGA port on my Bravia, but thought it might limit me to 'side' letterboxes since I thought VGA basically stood for 640x480 or 4X3 format. I'm surprised that you get 1920x1080 from a VGA cable.

While your picture may be great, by definition I understand high to low video quality in order is. HDMI/DVI, Component, s-video, VGA, and lastly, A/V cables. My DVI-HDMI cable is a cheapie that I think I bought at Frys.

This type of cable is probably getting harder to find as most stuff is straight HDMI now. Anyone thinking of getting a new flat screen should strongly remember to get one with at least 3 HDMI ports unless they are into cable switch-a-roo when connecting various devices.

The stock devices today are cable/satellite, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD and one for the old Mac. Apple Footer.
