Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter / Converter cable by Neet® – – IMPROVED WITH AUDIO
***** AUDIO UPDATE ***** Audio is supported on 2010 MacBook Pro and iMac 27″ / 21.5″ ::: This adapter is fully compatible for AUDIO on the latest MacBook Pro (i5) and also the iMac 27 and 21.5″ models now that Apple have audio out enabled over Mini DisplayPort… upcoming Apple models from 2010 on should also have Audio support. So long as the Apple mac or Mini DisplayPort output supports audio then so will this adapter and it will be sent over the single HDMI cable.
Please note that earlier Apple Macs with Mini DisplayPort (2008 – 2009 models) do not transmit audio over the Mini DP. If in doubt please check the specs of your Mac or contact Neet Cables for fast and friendly customer support.
***** IMPORTANT NOTE ***** :: ” Mini DisplayPort ” is NOT the same as ” Mini DVI ” !!! :::: Its is extremely common for folks to buy the wrong adapter and need to return or exchange despite the *** warnings *** in the product info above (I guess folks read reviews more than product info) … so if you are not sure which Mac port you have, please read the following info as it may help !!!
As it says in the product description ::: This “Mini DisplayPort” adapter is used to ” Connect new generation Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with Mini Displayport ” . This is for newer generation Macs from late 2008 onwards such as the UNIBODY MacBook and MacBook Pro and AIR … also the newer iMacs.
Most slightly older Macs (Including MacBook, MacBook Pro and Air … UP TO late 2008) have a different, slightly bigger but similar looking port called ” Mini DVI ” and this is NOT the same as ” Mini DisplayPort ” … and will not fit.
You can see a close up picture of the actual ports and adapter connection in the ‘other’ images at the top of the product listing and this will help you check to see if your port matches :::: If you have an older Mac and require the Neet ” Mini DVI to HDMI adapter ” it can be found here :: Apple Mini DVI to HDMI adapter cable by Neet®
There are also a couple of other, less common adapters that Apple used briefly… one is called “Mini VGA” (found on older Macs) and another is called ” Micro DVI ” (found on the MacBook Air for one year only) … these are far less common but still get confused. ( Even Apple can give the wrong advise (eg: telling customers that Mini VGA is Mini DVI but an older version so folks go looking for an older Mini DVI which does not exist ))
The bottom line is to be sure and check your port before buying … and if in any doubt, please contact Neet Cables via ‘ contact seller ‘ on Amazon.
This Neet Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is plug & play, works very well and will be dispatched quickly with fast and friendly email customer support from Neet if needed … but please check that you are buying the correct adapter first !
( Please kindly note ::: I work on customer support at Neet Cables and AMAZON suggested that this information be left as a ‘review’ due to excessive returns / exchanges as a result of folks buying the wrong adapter. This results in frustration and wasted time waiting fro exchanges for customers and also a lot of wasted postage costs for us and Amazon … so hopefully this ‘review’ and info will help save a lot of time and wasted postage costs for us all ! … If you think it is helpful , please mark it as ‘ helpful ‘ so it stays at the top and will be seen… many thanks

WOW!! is all I can say about this product, especially at that price, a real bargain in my opinion. I have tried some other HDMI adapters available in the market which are cheaper then this, but this is undoubtedly the best!
Watching 1080p movies through this adapter is simply fab. You will be amazed with the picture quality of this in comparison with the standard VGA connection. I have this adapter set up through to my 42″ Full HD TV, and the picture quality is unbelievable. Even if your playing a game through this, you’ll notice a considerable difference in the overall dynamics of the picture.
People have concerns over the Mini Display Port which doesn’t output audio signal along with video through the HDMI connection. However, I don’t see that as an issue at all, since all you really need is a 3.5 mm jack (male) to 3.55 mm jack (male) cable to output sound to the TV, which won’t cost you more than a couple of pounds, in case you don’t own one already!
Conclusion:
A must buy for anyone looking to get the best picture quality out of their mac’s through a HD TV. You no longer need to worry about setting up a MiniDisplayPort – DVI – HDMI.
Grade A product – *Highly Recommended*

Brilliant little product, i originally bought the VGA adapter but my Sony Bravia only supports low res in VGA so this was the next best thing and despite not being made by apple it is a million times better than the VGA adapter, amazing resolution looks even better than the actual screen of my MacBook Pro 13″. With this piece of kit you can have your external display either mirror your screen or act as an extension, for example you could have all your photoshop tool bars on the laptop screen but the photos your are editing up on the TV.
Another feature this adapter allows is for you to have the lid on your macbook closed but the screen displayed on your HD TV (perfect for watching films), apple say you can only operate this way if you have an external mouse or keyboard attached to the macbook but a little tip to get around this is to attach the adapter to the TV, close the lid of your macbook then simply press a button on your apple remote. your TV should then display your macbook screen.

This is a great product at a great price and great service.
I ordered the product on a Sunday night (about 9pm) and had an e-mail on Monday morning that the product had shipped. I recieved it Friday in Spain (though it would have been MUCH faster if I lived in the UK).
The product came in great packaging, well packed for shipping.
The quality is great though I had an issue with Slingbox (it would freeze upon trying to connect to the TV) but this is a software problem, not a problem with this piece of hardwear. I sent a question regarding this problem to Neet Cables on the next Saturday morning and had an answer in the afternoon. They were unable to solve the problem but searched like crazy for an answer. They sent me a detailed e-mail with links to possible solutions. INCREADIBLE SERVICE!
I ordered and HDMI cable as well (50% discount) and it came with a soft cleaning cloth for the TV screen.
I wouldn’t think twice about recomending Neet Cables. In fact, This past weekend I ordered a 3×1 HDMI Auto Switch and another HDMI cable.
If you need cables, this is the place!

This is a great quality bit of kit which I eventually got sorted after I had initially ordered the wrong one (as others have mentioned, be sure you check your Mac port is mini dipslayport and not mini dvi). I’m prompted to leave this review after receiving such good service from Neet who were very quick to arrange an exchange for me. I now have my new macbook displaying on my Panasonic LCD TV via this adapter and one of Neets own HDMI cables (which was half price!) and it looks amazing. Highly Recommend both the product and the seller.
