Can I use this to connect my 2011 MacBook Pro to my HD Insignia TV and project what is on my laptop to that TV?

No. This cable did not work on my MacBook to connect to the TV. I have returned it.

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

It will not, you have to check what the input your TV uses. HD TVs mostly use HD15 (monitor) or HDMI or DVI in that order, the other end need to be either mini-DVI or what ever the "new" Mac is using, check you Mac and TV before buying. If you don't have specs for them you can find them online. Lastly the HD15 and DV only support pic not sound, you have to use a second cable for sound, I know this is a lot of info, but this stuff has not been standardized. The instruction book for the TV will have all of this. Good Luck!

Yes it will work but you will sacrifice quality. VGA is the old video standard. If you are using an HD Mac and want the picture to show up HD then you need to use the other port on the monitor which is a DVI port. So if you want HD then you must get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Hope this helps!

Yes, I've connected my Apple MacBook Pro to it, using an HDMI adapter. I also use Roku, instead of cable for many of my non-broadcast viewing options -such as Netflix, Amazon, Prime, and MLB TV. Works great!

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

Hello, if your mac has internal or external mounting procedures bluetooht should work.I have a TV and it works perfectly. I hope you have served.

Yes you can! My MacBook Pro 13inchs screen recently broke so I got a VGA adapter, hooked it up to my TV & it worked.

I bought this a few months back for my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) to use on my TV. It works great for it. I don't recall having to mess with any drivers or anything. I'm pretty sure it was just plug and play.

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered.

Depends on what Mac you have. Macbook Pros have an HDMI port so this adapter will work with it, however Macbook Airs do not so you'd have to get a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter first. At that point it might be better to find a Thunderbolt-to-VGA adapter instead.

Hey man, I bought my MacBook Pro back in 2009 and my cable works on mine for video no problem. The only thing is that you won't output any sound, so I just plug in a home theatre auxiliary cable into my headphone slot. Video is completely fine though! And yes, it goes directly from your mini DVI into the HDMI slot on your TV.

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case. If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

I don't own a macbook pro, but if it has a vga port, you can hook it up. If not, I believe you can get a vga to usb converter cable on Amazon and I think that would work.

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2914&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2914&gclid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg. Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

I am using this with a MacBook Pro, which has an HDMI port (depends on the model year). It works flawlessly with this set-up.

yep, put one end in the usb port in the side of your macbook, and the other in the hdmi port on your TV, assuming your TV has an hdmi port. Works nice and looks great!
