Reddit reviews C&E Mini_Dis-HDMI-CB6 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable, 6 feet

Oddly enough, you can plug a Mini DisplayPort cable into the Thunderbolt port and it will work (they both use the same port).

I use this cable with my air's thunderbolt port to connect to my monitor. Cheap and works great. They also make Mini DisplayPort to DVI if your monitor doesn't have HDMI. Just search amazon or monoprice for a cheap one.

It's just a different type of port. It is better than HDMI and allows for higher resolutions than 1080p, but it's not used quite as often.

Here is the cord I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003OC6LWM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1380941200&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

You can see it pretty clearly on this page, just below the charge port: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/html/pbPage.PDPS/productID.286866600

Technically that's a minidp port, but that should work fine. I keep one of these in my bag, personally.

Edit: To clarify, not that specific brand cable, but the same connections.

This.

$9 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and if you have a new enough Mac, it supports sound through DisplayPort as well. There's a list on the apple webpage for which computers are supported. I bought one and it works great.

Well, I see you've sent the adapter back...still I'll offer my experience. I own a late-2011 MBP (2.4 GHz i7) running OS X Lion 10.7.4 as well, and I run it through to a monitor with this:

I have had no hiccups with that. I also have an Asus monitor. I feel it must be something to do with your adapter. When I connected them up my first time, it detected both automatically. So don't worry, you didn't just throw money away. You can get this to work. Make sure that the monitor is turned on (I'm positive you're smarter than that, but you would not believe some people who don't do this) and also that your computer is plugged into a power source. I will monitor this thread for your update. Good luck!

Someone may correct me, but I don't believe the Apple TV is capable of outputting an uncompressed 1920x1080 video stream.

Why do you need an Apple TV between the iMac and your TV in the first place? Why not use something like this?

Most cables should work, but be sure to read lots of reviews. If the cable isn't properly shielded, you may run into interference issues with your WiFi on your MacBook.

This is the one I use and I haven't had any issues with it. Convenient having a single cable for video and audio when plugging into my TV.

Seriously? They are like $3 on amazon.

Final edit for now: This method produces suitably high-res videos on the hard drive, but they lose a ton of fidelity when they get uploaded. I'll leave this up for now; hopefully someone can advise.

This isn't as ideal as an all-inclusive app, but there is a pretty easy way to do what you need if you have access to a MacBook. You would want to:

• Connect the MacBook to the projector (you might find this item helpful)
  
• Connect the iPad Pro to the MacBook
  
• Boot up the preinstalled copy of QuickTime Player on the MacBook
  
• Select New Movie Recording from the file menu
  
• In the window that pops up, click the little arrow next to the record button and change the camera to the iPad Pro
  
• Drag the window as needed for your projection
  
• Boot up ZoomNotes on the iPad Pro
  
• Make the QuickTime window full screen
  
• Start recording
  
  It seems somewhat involved, but it took me more time to write out these directions than it did to actually record and upload a sample video. Total cake after you do it once or twice.
  
  Hope this helps!

I've been using C&E adapters from Amazon for years without issue:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OC6LWM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

yeah. I cast the tab using that chromecast chrome extension, then hit full screen... which makes it go full screen on the TV, but not my computer (so I can talk to these wackos at r/phish)... This is from memory though, haven't done it since mexico streams.... As far as other direct ways, I've also connected my laptop to the tv via this very cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OC6LWM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The only downside to that is that it makes it harder to talk to the wackos at r/phish during the show

decibel... This and since this is cheap maybe give something to some one else?

This is what I bought. Works great. Audio works as well.

I just threw on this Gigabyte HD 7970 on my new gaming PC and it works like a charm. It's well know, reliable, and has multiple ports. While it says it doesn't have two HDMI ports right off the bat, it has one HDMI port and 2 mini display ports. You can easily get either a converter, or a cable that goes from mini display port to HDMI (here is one that is $5 for 6 ft, cheaper than some HDMI cables). Mine even came with an adapter in the box, so I'd definitely consider this as an option.

Yes those. If your monitor doesn't have one, somthing like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC6LWM

or this:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=5106

Should work.

this is the same exact one i bought. it is cheap and a descent length. what more do you want!

> The device needs to work on WiFi without Internet access.

I don't think you're going to get that—all devices capable of playing Plex (Chromecast, Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Firestick) all require internet access, as the device is directly communicating with your server. Read this from the Plex support docs:

>It's important to note that the Chromecast streams content directly from the Plex Media Server (or Cloud Sync).

>When you use a mobile device or browser to initiate a cast, the content does not go "through" that device and then to the Chromecast; you're free to disconnect or turn off the casting app at any time if you wish to do so and that won't affect the stream.

Best solution for you: get a cable that allows you to hook up your laptop to a TV.

If you have a Mac, one of these will do it, if you have a newer PC, it may have a HDMI port so all you'd need is a HDMI cable. If the laptop is older and only has a VGA output, you'd have to get something like this that is capable of converting the signal.

I'm your average broke college kid and I would love to have this to take back home with me for the holidays. thank you!!

It looks just like this, but its not 6 feet. I'm sure its the same brand as mine, but only about 5 inches long. I bought mine off amazon, also.

Don't know how old is "older", but this works for my 2008 mbp
