HDMI adapters on Ebay.

Does anyone know about these adapters on Ebay? They would be very handy to connect your Macbook to a HDTV without getting a DVI to HDMI cable. Has anyone bought one, I'd love to know what the quality is like.

Was it the very same one as the one in the link?

What type of MacBook do you have OP? Is it the plastic white/black model or the aluminium model? This definitely won't work with the aluminium one. I can't say how good it would be with the plastic one, but at least the connection is the correct one.

Yeah I have the plastic one. I have already bought a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter on Ebay and it works well. But this one caught my eye as I have never seen direct HDMI output adapter for the MacBook.

I don't really see the point in these if you have a VGA connection in the TV and the adapter that comes with the laptop as you would have to carry audio separately

Dman001

Well I have to carry the audio separately whatever method I use, be it VGA or HDMI. After doing a bit of research, I have discovered that a HDMI output will look better than VGA.

Jev/N

Ah right, suppose so, just didn't bother myself seen as the adapter came with the laptop
