    Just got mine -- instant success on my Vizio.

    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support for Apple MacBook Pro and iMac, Now with Audio Pass-Through on New 2010 MacBook(195-129) And 6 Feet High Speed HDMI Cable Male to Male Digital A/V Cable (193-350) 195-168-001

    I'm running three displays now -- I hate INTEL for only allowing two displays in their control panel (I'm using MultiMon):


    From Intel:

    "Can I output video to three display devices, not just two?
    No. Intel graphics products can output to one or two display devices at the same time. More than two display devices can be physically connected, but only two display devices can be used at any time."

    And I'm also disappointed in Nvidia for not providing an Nview-like utility for Win7 to manage three monitors:

    Just to be clear, you're running this on a Dell right? Only asking because we're in the Dell forum. That and I have something similar that I bought for my macbook that I haven't got around to trying on my Dell, but will now dig it out of the closet to see if it works.
