Use hdmi equipped TV/projector as a Mac monitor

displaydisplayporthdmi

I have a TV with hdmi inputs, and I have an old Mac Book Pro with DVI output, and I'm going to buy a new Mac Book Pro which has mini DVI output.

When I want to use TV/projector with hdmi inputs as an external monitor, is it just simply connect them with dvi to hdmi connector?

  • If so, what vendors are favored with reasonable price?
  • If not, what equipment do I need to connect them?

It is that simple. However your resolution will be 1920 x 1080, so the benefit of a larger than 27" monitor is minimal at the distances you would typically have a monitor.
