    I bought a miniDisplay Port to HDMI and 3 HDMI Cables and a HDMI splitter from seller mambate on eBay. Surprisingly it was all really good quality, the audio works well, I wish I had a surround sound system to test it on but I use optical audio for HT. So my Hanns G 28 Monitor is really the only thing I could test it on, and it works.

    The Splitter comes wit a remote too which I thought was cool.

    This is my MBP13 and he Hanns G

    Funny side note, the MBP quicktime plays better 1080p vids on the HannsG dont know why. either way plex is the best program for videos.

    On several different threads people had asked about it, hence why I titled it "confirmed", as opposed to "Breaking News"

    Many other people didnt know the eBay ones worked, now they do.

    What mini display port to hdmi adapter do you have? I tried one today that would not carry the audio.

    Yes, I tried. But there was nothing listed there besides the "Internal Speakers".
