josweet Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) A family member wants to connect his Imac to the TV (HDMI) instead of using the built in screen to view on line streams from abroad. (not porn. bahh !) Will this device on Ebay allow for this ? >http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-Meter-Gold-plated-Mini-DVI-Male-to-HDMI-Male-Cable-for-Apple-Mac-/152432338645?hash=item237dace6d5:g:1DcAAOSwa-dWrM~G The imac in question is below.

I would agree: "HDMI audio and video output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" from: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202214 Something like this should do you: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-VicTsing-Converter-Microsoft/dp/B00EDB3ZY0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1503172462&sr=8-5&keywords=mini+displayport+hdmi Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
