    I want to connect my 2010 MacBook Pro to my HDTV, for editing in Final Cut Express.

    I want to connect via a single cable, so HDMI, and want audio as well as video, as I believe my laptop should be capable of this?

    Can someone tell me exactly which adaptor I need......since I want to ensure I dont end up with a video-only adaptor.
    A part number or something would be good, so I can then look for the best prices! lol

    Monoprice might have cheap HDMI adapters... but they do NOT support audio.... better to buy one a bit more expensive that can run audio as well.

    if wired correctly, yes.

    I guess he says monoprice doesnt support audio, make sure you check the listing to see if it does before you buy from another site.

    The solution is simple. Buy the Moshi.
