QUOTE(mipadi @ Oct 22 2009, 10:10 PM)  While everyone else is distracted by their wanking over their superior computer knowledge and better graphics cards, I'm going to let you know that you absolutely can connect a MacBook Pro to a TV without a problem. I know this not because I've read about it somewhere on the Internet, but because my former roommate had one of the last iterations of the aluminum MacBooks, which is basically the same thing as a MacBook Pro, and we connected it to his TV all the time without any problems, to watch movies and such. The problem is elsewhere in your setup, either with the adapters or some setting on your TV, because the MacBook Pro won't have any trouble displaying on your TV. you fools just got told. lol. so do you have any idea what it might be? did your roomates mac have a dvi output? it sure would be easier if there was just one cord. |

Definitely not S-video or anything like that, because he was able to output at full resolution to the TV. Are you mirroring or extending desktop? QUOTE(tcunningham @ Oct 22 2009, 11:23 PM) lol, how? His friend's macbook is not the same as your macbook pro. In terms of graphics capabilities, it's essentially the same. Same software, same chipset and all that. |
