    You can buy a cable that has a mini display port on one end, and a standard display port plug on the other. It would be a male-to-male cable. Not sure I'm allowed to post a link to a product, but you will find the cable if you do a search for it. There are a couple of big internet retailers that carry it. I'm using one myself. I used the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (female) Cable for Apple Mac along with 25ft HDMI to HDMI Cable Premium Gold Series HDMI Certified to connect my iMac to my HDTV. The picture is fantastic! Don't pay for overpriced cables--these work great!

    The Dynex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is obtainable from Best Buy, offers video and audio via HDMI. I established this through my 27-inch iMac running 10.6.6. Output has to modify their course preferences HDMI, however it works in fact. I am listening to my iTunes all the way through my TV at the moment I type. If you require to go to the CDM HDMI, just purchase a cable for $ 7 to do in place of going to the DP MDL DP and after that take HDMI.
