Which Plasma HDTV with MacBook?

External Since: Jan 29, 2008 Posts: 2

Can my MacBook drive a plasma HDTV? In terms of just resolution, it
seems possible: HDTV is 1920x1080 and my MacBook is supposed to be
able to do up to 1920x1200. One issue is that most plasma TV's I've
seen have 15-pin VGA input, rather than DVI. Is there a converter for
this? Are there other issues that could be a problem?

Thanks.

I haven't tried it but you can get an Apple Mini DVI - VGA converter
cable for the MacBook for about $20 from Apple. It should work.
