How to Connect a MacBook to an LCD TV (6 Steps)


Determine what video cable you need for your MacBook. Older plastic MacBooks require a mini DVI to HDMI adapter and aluminum MacBooks require a mini display port to HDMI adapter. Also, 2009 plastic MacBooks use the mini display port to HDMI cable.
Plug one end of the video adapter into the video output jack of your MacBook. The video output port is on the left hand side of your MacBook.
Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the opposite end of the video adapter.
Connect the opposite end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI input jack of your LCD TV. This is usually located on one of the sides or the back of most LCD TVs.
Change the video input source on your TV to the input that your computer is plugged into. Press the 'Source' or 'Input' button on your remote control to change the video input source.
Optimize display settings on your MacBook. Click the 'Apple' menu followed by 'System Preferences.' Click 'Displays' under the 'Hardware' menu. Click the 'Detect Displays' and the MacBook automatically detects the LCD TV and optimizes the display settings.
