Is there any advantage to using this cable vs. an HDMI to HDMI cable for a Macbook Pro running to a 39 inch display?

There are no real advantages of one cable over another. It just depends on what connector you have on the MacBook Pro and the 39 inch display. I would guess those are both HDMI connectors so you need the HDMI-HDMI cable. If one or both of the connectors is display port then you'll need that appropriate cable.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

Any hdmi cable will work but you need an adapter for your mac depending on the model you have. Might be a display port to hdmi adapter or a mini display port to hdmi.

Connect one monitor to your Macbook Pro using a male HDMI-to-HDMI cable. Connect the other monitor using a thunderbolt-to-female HDMI adapter, then a male HDMI-to-HDMI cable. If you have an older Macbook Pro, the adapter will be a mini-DisplayPort-to-female HDMI adapter.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Hi Kara, I too have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and an HDTV. This cable worked perfectly for me.

It might with a HDMI-to-MiniDisplayPort converter (with the appropriate type connections, F HDMI to M MiniDisplayPort.) But even then, there is no guarantee. We've had experiences where passive converter devices will not properly translate the signal, and working with Macs to non-Mac displays is the biggest culprit in these failures.

Peter, I have to agree with the answer provided to you by Cory Church. The cable has worked beautifully on our MacBook Pro. Using the cable is a LOT better than using a VGA cable with an Apple VGA "dongle" adapter.

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: BlueRigger Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI Female Adapter Cable It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out.

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

Yes, as long as you have a mini dvi port (macbook 4,1 should have) You will also need the hdmi cable of course, and remember that this port does not transmit audio, so you will need a solution for audio as well (audio will still come from either macbook speakers, or from the headphone port)

As long as your buy the appropriate adapter cable from whatever connection your MacBook uses to either HDMI/DVI, there's no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly fine.

Yes, it is. If you have a pre-HDMI port MacBook, make you sure you pick up a Mini DisplayPort adapter: HDMI, DVI, or VGA (your choice). I use this display with my early-2011 MacBook Pro 13".

Yes the mini display port supports HDMI. I have an adapter that allows you to plug an HDMI cable into your Macbook Pro via the Mini Display Port.

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.

I believe the Apple 30" HD Display uses a DVI input, this cable will only work with a Mini Display Port (MDP) connection or a Display Port (DP) with an adapter to MDP.You can google the connectors to see what they look like.
