in order to connect a macbook to a D-sub input (which this tv has) you will need a mini DVI to D-Sub adapter that you can only buy from apple. the connector runs about $15. Once it's connected, it works like a charm!

It should, my mac is a little bit older but I still needed a port that would allow it to connected with a computer. We just needed a standard port to let it connect to our TV as if it was any other computer. You need to check to make sure that your flat screen has a computer connection option. If it does, you will still need another cord (VGA cable in my case) my mac is older and my tv is newer so your experience could be different.

I've had the same problem. Amazon is replacing the set. Update: got the new set. It has similar problems, but not often. Trying to determine if this is due to quirky inputs (ie, Apple TV2 being being turned on, and camera plugged into AV input). Happy otherwise, probably will keep the set. Another update: blinking on start up continues, poster on another thread mentioned hdmi handshaking problems on other hdtvs- sounds like what I've got. Trying to decide whether to keep the set, since people have said TCL has terrible customer service. I don't want to get stuck with it after the return period. Note: if i change inputs then go back go the apple tv that fixes the problem.

If I understand your question, you should need only one adapter (for the Mac). With that you could simply use an HDMI cable, connecting one end to your TV and the other to your Mac adapter. Hope this helps.

Dear customer, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger Premium Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adaptor Cable. This adapter is fully compatible with the MacBook Pro. You may need to configure the output audio device by going to System Preferences &gt; Sound &gt; Output, then select HDMI and you should now hear the audio through the TV. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

Yes, if you're macbook has an HDMI out port. I have this machine(tv) hooked up to my windows PC and it does an outstanding job in 1080p resolution. Highly recommended!

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

I don't know if this answers the question but it basically its a HDMI to thunderbolt cable. You plug the thunderbolt to your mac and the HDMI should be connected to your television.

If you don't have a Mac, I'm not sure this adapter works. Make sure the proper input is selected on the TV and the connectors are pushed in all the way. Also, try connecting the adapter with the computer turned off. !f that's the way you did it, try connecting with the computer turned on. We need more detail (model of computer, model of TV,etc.) for more detailed advice.

I have a macbook pro computer with minidisplayport on computer and use cable to attach to any hdmi tv with no problems. Make sure in preferences you select to turn audio on because it also comes out of the cable. :)

I didn't try on TV but it works well with my computer monitor. For TV, try this - connect the mini port to you Mac then connect the hdmi to the TV. Turn ON your TV and change the input setting to HDMI.

Go to System Preferences under the apple on the menu bar >then choose "Sound"> then click the "Output" tab>then select the output device (TV) you are connected to. This is the process I went through to get the mac to recognize my television. PS. Please try not to use all caps. It appears as though you are very frustrated at me.

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered. Macs are annoying when it comes to hdmi crap ill give you that

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.

You have to go under your control panel (can't remember what it's called on a mac, but it's your system preferences/options) and set it to use your usb speakers instead of your macbook speakers. I have the same issue with the headphones and with the HDMI port when I hook it up to my tv.
