HDE® Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter Cable - 6 ft.

Works for Surface Pro. Lots cheaper than Microsoft. I wish it was black rather than Apple white, but that doesn't affect function.

Hooked it up, searched in youtube for relevant video to determine settings to send vid and audio to tv. Did not plug into my home theatre receiver yet only because it was just a quick hookup. Initially, without tweaking any settings on the mac all I got was the wallpaper of the mac. After viewing the youtube video, this is how I did the settings:

1) go to Systems Preferences, click on Display (the menu will be seen on the tv)

2) click on Arrangement and click on Mirror Display

3) go back to the menu and click Sound and select hdmi cable and that will get the sound through hdmi to your tv.

and that's all there is to it. The link I used was

And under $9 for the cable. Not bad.

Update 5/9/2012 connected to a/v receiver and watched a netflix streamed movie. Worked perfectly. A note of caution, if you purchase an extension to use with this cable you may not get the result you want. I got "unsupported signal...." with a skinny 10 ft cable. Other reviewers said the same thing for that cable. You might be better off opting for a longer mini display port to hdmi instead.

It really works well. I did end up having to use an aux cord for sound, my macbook pro was purchased in early 2010. Apparently middle 2010 they updated the hdmi output thing to include sound. So just know that if you purchased your macbook pro early in 2010 or before you will need an aux cord too.

I'm very satisfied with the picture of the screen on my tv, I didn't expect it to look so clear!!

Works for video but I can't get the sound to come through my tv. Although it should using my Mac....nothing has worked, so we use the laptop for the sound.

Want HDE® Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter Cable - 6 ft. Discount?

I've been using this cable for about two weeks now in order to connect my mid-2009 macbook pro to my new LED-LCD monitor. It works great! The cable seems to be constructed decently and the ends seem to fit fine without much jiggle. I will say that on the macbook side of the cable, I'm using a cable clip to just relieve some potential strain that the cable could pose on the computer (this isn't necessary, but I just don't want to risk port damage over time).

I'll address one more thing. If you want to connect your mac to an HDMI monitor/tv, you could either use a cable like this, or an adapter like (http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Female-Adapter-Cable-Macbook/dp/B008X6C4I4/ref=sr_1_18?m=A3V6BK4D0HKA8F&s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362155897&sr=1-18). The only reason you might want to go with an adapter is if you already have an extra HDMI cable, or you frequently hook your computer up to projection/presentation equipment. Keep in mind that HDMI is a digital signal, so even a cheap cable should be fine. It's not like analog, where extra shielding can make a big difference).

Anyways, I'd recommend this cable highly.
