Hey guys, please subscribe to support the channel! Thank you In this video I will show you how to connect your macbook pro to your tv. As long as your laptop.
Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac.
- HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable.
- USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adaptor, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adaptor.
- Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor or cable.
Mac computers that have an HDMI port comply with HDMI 1.4b and support:
- At least 1080p video over HDMI, and some Mac models support higher resolutions when connecting to 4K displays, 5K displays and Ultra HD TVs
- 8-channel/24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1 and traditional stereo
- HDCP-encrypted playback from iTunes and QuickTime Player (version 10). Safari in macOS Sierra or later also supports HDCP-encrypted playback, if the web page is HTML5-enabled and the content is FairPlay Streaming-enabled and delivered using Media Source Extensions or HTTP Live Streaming.
If using an adaptor, check the specifications of the adaptor to learn about supported resolutions and other details.

What kind of ports does your video card have? Mini-displayport? Use a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter. DVI? Use a DVI to HDMI adapter and if you also want audio to your TV (DVI doesn't pass audio) pass the analog stereo line out in the back of your mac pro or figure out how to use the digital optical audio out.
You can get appropriate adapters and cables a places like www.monoprice.com.
Once connected set your Dispplays preferences for the TV to the appropriate resolution (720p, 1080i, 1080p) and refresh rate (60Hz I assume). Might have to click Detect Displays and Gather windows if the TV isn't initially showing anything. I
