Apple :: Mbp Getting Hdmi
Jan 19, 2010
I recently purchased the new Sony vaio f after looking around for a new laptop. However, I'm wondering if I had made a mistake with the rumors about the next mbp being announced on the 27th.. I wouldve purchased the 13 inch mbp over the Sony vaio f only if it had an hdmi port since I love watching movies from the laptop connected to my HDTV. So my question is, what do u guys think the chances are of the next mbp having an hdmi port, especially since it will have the core i5 with the intel HD integrated graphics? Should I return my unopened Sony vaio f and wait until the 27th?

I saw this over on MacRumors and am more interested in them lettting OS X send sound out of the mini display port than the actual HDMI on the Mac Mini. If what I have read over the last few months is true, OS X is the only thing stopping sound from going out of the mini display port (granted you are using a monoprice HDMI adaptor already).

I currently have a 13" Unibody Macbook and I'm looking to hook it up to a 32" Sony Bravia LCD.
I am looking to purchase the Monoprice Mini-DP --> DVI dongle and hook that up with my Monster 400 HDMI to DVI cable.
I have the very same cable which I use to connect my HP desktop to my Sony LCD TV.
My only concern right now is what I read about DVI-I versus DVI-D. On the cable's packaging it says "SINGLE-LINK Connection ... For connecting HDMI to DVI components up to 1080i resolution"
I'm looking at the pins on the DVI portion of the cable and its group liked this:
9 pins (3x3) SPACE 9 pins (3x3) SPACE horizontal metallic piece.
The Monoprice adapter and the Apple adapter looks different in terms of the slots which the pins will go through.
I just want to make sure I have right components before I buy the adapter.

Does anyone here own these cables [url], or a different brand? If so, would you care to share what you think about them and if it's better than using the MDP to DVI converter?
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on these but it seems that this is a new product and there aren't that many reviews yet so I'm still a bit hesitant.
What are your thoughts?
Or if anyone owns the adapter [url] .
Also, I'm seeing that you can't get audio through the adapter for the MBP. If that is the case, would I be able to get audio if I went through the MDP -> DVI ->HDMI route?

ETA on this dongle is today and I've been frantically F5ing the page even though I set the notification option. Can't wait for this so I can plug my MBP into my 42" LCD and get some old school Phantasy Star Online and Boxee internet TV going. Anyone else going to pick this up?

I went to connect my wife's M1330 HDMI to my Sharp Aquos and nothing happens. I even tried the detect function and FN+8 and still nothing.
I tried every option in every control panel.
If I hook it up to a monitor hdmi to DVI, it works.
If I hook it up to the TV, it doesn't unless....I press FN+8 while vista is booting. Then I see vista booting on the TV. Once vista loads, it default back to the laptop screen and I can't choose to output to the TV.
Arrgghh
I even tried to update to a new intel graphics driver but stupid laptop says when I run the exe that it's not allowed or is unkown or something or if i manually upgrade the driver, it says i have the latest driver, which i don't.
Anyone have any insight to how to get HDMI working on this laptop?
BTW, this is on the intel onboard video card.

Which version HDMI does studio 1555 have ? I dont know why computer manufacturers hide that information, cant they say HDMI 1.3 or HDMI 1.2 instead of just saying HDMI .. i am sure USB is not confusing since most USB are 2.0 now.

I have a Dell Studio 1537, and I reguarly use my TV with my laptop as an extra monitor, and when I plug the HDMI cable in, the audio switches over to the TV with no problems.
However, it seems that whenever I restart my laptop, (even if it was turned off after having taken the HDMI cable out) the audio is being sent through HDMI, and I have to go and change it to the speakers of the laptop.
Is there any way of basically setting the laptop to send audio through HDMI if it is plugged in, and the speakers if not?

I was amazed by the passion put by some people here, in older threads, about Dell not including HDMI ports on Inspiron.
IMHO, not using any kind of DRM-enabled interface it's a GOOD THING (tm) - please look why:

Maybe that's not a coincidence that 1525s are listed as 100% free-software compatible...

My SXPS13 is running Vista 64 with all the latest BIOS and drivers from the Dell website. nVidia driver version 7.15.11.7982.
I plugged my LCD 37" telly in my laptop via HDMI. At first everything was ok and l was getting an image on the laptop screen as well as the TV.
I was then abled to switch modes so l just had an image on the TV. The screen was a bit overstretched so l was loosing the top, bottom, left and right of the image.
I went into the nVidia control panel and found a utilitily where l could re-size the LCD TV image.
All seemed fine until l clicked apply. The screen went blank and it appeared the laptop had frozen as l was unable to get the CAPS LOCK key to come on

I am posting a new thread regarding another issue I recently experienced. It is related to HDMI.
Previously I had my mobo replaced, because one of the HDMI pins was melted. Once replaced I tried it again. I have connected the HDMI cable and my laptop crashed. The speaker started to beep, the screen picture was distorted. I immediately plugged it out and notice that the HDMI connector was really hot. Tried it again and the same thing happened.
What do you think can cause this? The HDMI cable is 3m long. I heard somewhere that using a HDMI cable longer then 1.5m could cause problems, but I have used this cable for 1 year with my HP lappy and my WD TV live.

I just bought 22" LCD monitor (LG m2294A). It has HDMI in, DVI in, and VGA. I tried connecting my Vaio SR to it with an HDMI cable. Sadly, it didnt work, the monitor displayed a message saying "out of range". In the monitor's user manual I later noticed that HDMI-PC mode is "not supported".
It does however support DVI-PC mode. So my question is, has anyone tried using one of those HDMI-DVI cables to connect their SR's to a DVI monitor? I have read online that going from HDMI to DVI isn't as simple as going from DVI to HDMI. I would really hate to have to connect to the monitor via VGA since I want to get use out of my HDMI out. While I wait for my cable to get here, I would like to read about your experiences in the matter.

My 1410 has a problem with the display out function. It works fine with both the HDMI and VGA output when the lid is open. However, when I close the lid, the display is okay for a couple of seconds then it flashes on and off intermittently on the display that I hooked it up to. It happens with both the VGA and HDMI output signal. It only happens when the lid is closed, even though I set the computer the do nothing when the lid is closed. I thought it might be a software/driver issue, but I installed the most recent chipset and VGA drivers from the acer website with no change. This is an important feature for me to have because I use the computer with an external display the majority of the time. I am running windows 7 home premium 64bit. Their tech support has told me that Acer computers are set to not work with an external display when the lid is closed.

I just got this laptop from BB. I pretty much wiped all the bloatware off of the computer. It's been years since I've seen this much garbage on a new system. This computer ran slower than a five-year-old Dell when I took it out of the box.
Anyways, when I try to stream a video (say, from Hulu) and watch it fullscreen over HDMI to my HDTV -- everything is fine -- until I close the lid, then the video starts stuttering pretty badly. I've changed the performance settings in three places so that closing the lid should have no effect: power management, advanced power management (the tree structure), and the device manager. I'm not sure if it's the processor slowing down or the Wi-Fi - but I've got the settings tuned to performance for both. It seems like when I close the lid, there's still a performance hit going on somewhere.
This laptop sounded like a great deal hardware-wise, but it has some issues... I think the integration with the i5 was rushed; the thing is a massive battery hog even surfing the web, and the amount of power management settings are confusing and conflicting.

I have an acer 7535G Laptop with a HDMI output on the side, however when I try to conect the HDMI to my LG32 INC TV I get no signal, nothing happens on the laptop to tell me I have a connected an external display!
I have used the Fn+f5 key to switch display (nothing)
I have tried using ATI Power Express to get it to work (nothing)
I have also just upgraded to Windows 7 hoping this might make it work, using the same methods & this time also using windows key + x to try and conect an external display, and you guessed it NOTHING!
