How do you hook a MacBook up to a monitor?

How do I hook a macbook up to a Samsung 24" LCD HDTV Monitor? What exact apple cables do I need to purchase?

  • I have the other cables but none of them plug into my mac, any help?

  • Answer:

    There are two different Macbooks out there, one with miniDVI and one with miniDisplayPort. And they require different adapters. MiniDVI Macbooks require a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect to an HDTV's HDMI port. MiniDisplayPort Macbooks require a miniDisplayPort-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-to-HDMI cable. MiniDVI and MIniDisplayPort are COMPLETELY different things and NOT compatible. so find out which Macbook you got so you don't buy the wrong adapter. Hope this helps.
