Supports video and sound, no need to purchase a separate HDMI cable

Found this item online and thought it would be the most cost efficient option. Turns out I was right. With this, not only do I save myself from buying a $35 adapter, but a $10 HDMI cable too. I was a bit skeptical on whether or not it would work, as there is no specific brand listed, but it works perfectly. It delivers both video up to 1080p and clear, stereo audio. I am happy with my purchase.
For those of you who are having a hard time getting the audio to work:
* Your computer must support audio over the Mini DisplayPort. To find out if it does, go to System Profiler (option-click the Apple menu, System Profiler...), click the audio tab, and under the outputs should be listed: "HDMI / DisplayPort Output." If it is not listed, chances are your computer does not support it.
* You must select your TV as the output device. To do this, either option-click the audio menu icon and select it under "Audio Device:," or go to System Preferences (Apple menu -> System Preferences) -> Sound -> Output and select it. Hope this helps.
EDIT: If your receiver supports it, this cable can actually carry digital signals such as Dolby, DTS, and 6-channel (WOW!!!) LPCM.

Edit On 2/6/2012:
When I Originally wrote this review I had the 2011 Early MacBook Pro Model(one without the Thunderbolt port which Mac started to sell late February) With Snow leopard Mac OS X v10.6.
I still have the same MacBook as well as the Cable that still works wonderfully. I've upgraded to Lion so the Original post is more directed towards those who have Snow Leopard, because in Lion they change a couple of features on how to locate the HDMI Audio.
The port your looking for is called: FireWire 800 port - there are some models who have the 400 port, I honestly never tried to use this with a 400 port version so I can't tell you the difference between the two.
If you still have box/packaging that your MacBook/Mac Mini/Whatever Mac Device you have, check to see if you have FireWire 800 port listed under technical specifications. More than Likely this cable will work for you. If you don't have the box or the manual then you check it online by following this steps (if you have Lion Installed or Mac OS X v10.7 and above) :
1. Click on the Apple Icon in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Click "About this Mac"
3. Click "More Info"
4. Click "Overview" located on the Left side.
5. Click on "System Report" button located on the bottom. When Click a different window should open.
4. Click on "Audio (Built In)". Located on the Left side.
5. "HDMI/DisplayPort Output" should be listed below the list under ""Audio (Built In)" on the right side of the window. If you see this then this cable will work for you.
I know for a fact that that this cable will work with mid 2010 and present MacBook models.
Buy this cable, You'll be forever grateful, I see cables similar to this costing $30 or more. This will be the best (small) investment that you'll make.

Bellow is my Original Post when I had Snow Leopard installed:
I received the cable in the mail today and I hooked up my MacBook to my HDTV and it worked!!! I have a Samsung HDTV and I knew that I was able to hook up my MacBook Pro to it. So instead of buying multiple cables and adapters, this one cable worked great, Great picture quality as well as sound quality.
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ALL MACBOOKS!!!! IF you have a older model, then you have to do it the old fashion way and buy multiple cables and adapters in order to hook it up to your HDTV.
To make sure your able to use this for your MacBook Do these simple Steps
1. Click on the Apple Icon in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Click About this Mac
3. Click More Info
4. Click on Audio (Built In). Located on the Left side.
Once the Audio(Built In) is open check to see if you have HDMI Output or HDMI/DisplayPort Output on the list. If you do Then go right ahead and buy this Item. I think majority new laptops and Desktops have this feature, you have to investigate to double check to know for sure.

I have a 2011 Macbook Air, so I'm not sure of other models.
This thing is perfect! I think some people are leaving bad reviews because everything is not magically done for them once they plug in the two ends. I'm no mac expert, this is my first mac actually, so if I can figure it out, you can too. And I've made it even easier for you... Here are the HOW TO steps:
1. Plug in both ends, mini display port on your macbook and the HDMI on any available port on your LCD.
2. Go to upper left Apple menu and scroll down to system preference. Or use your FINDER from the dock, go to applications, then system preference.
3. Click on Displays
4. Click on DETECT DISPLAY
5. A similar screen pops up with name of your LCD, mine says SONY LCD, click on ARRANGEMENT
6. Click the box that says MIRROR DISPLAYS.
7. Go back into system preferences and go to SOUNDS which is located under HARDWARE.
8. Click on OUTPUT, then select HDMI, which should be listed next to your LCD name. DONE!! ENJOY!
The great thing about the macbook air is that it remembers your set-up. So if you unplug your lcd, internal macbook volume comes back. Next time you plug in your tv again, mirror display and hdmi output volume will be back as well. No need to fiddle again!

Works Great!
This product works flawlessly. The only problem I experienced is a tiny piece of plastic around the Thunderbolt part came off, but it was easy to place right back one. Read more

Doesn't stay connected. Frequently loses signal.
The connectors don't fit well. If your laptop moves a bit, even if your computer doesn't move at all, your monitor goes blank.

Don't bother with this - spend the money for a proper cable.
It doesn't work. My screen flashed like a bad sci-fi movie. What a waste of my money. Spend the money for an authorized cable that actually works, or you'll get what you paid... Read more
