Best way to get video from MacBook to TV?

[davester]

You need to determine for sure what ports your TV has. It may have a plethora, but there's a strong possibility that it does not have every one possible. DVI and VGA connectors are rare in TVs. Here are the possibilities from approximately best quality to worst picture quality:

HDMI
DVI (macbook can connect with mini-DVI to DVI adapter)
VGA (macbook can connect with mini-DVI to VGA adapter
component
S-video (macbook can connect with mini-DVI to video adapter)
composite (macbook can connect with mini-DVI to video adapter, though much lousier PQ than S-video)
RC




You definitely should try to go digital (mini-DVI to DVI) if that's what your TV has.
