I have a macbook pro and an HDMI cable but i dont have that piece that is ment to go into the mac. Is there any way that i can connect my mac to the tv without it???

I’m looking in to getting a tablet because I have some spare money, and well I want one. I’m currently trying to decide between an ASUS Transformer

and a Samsung Galaxy 10.1

after reading several reviews I really like the better screen quality the Samsung delivers, but the fact that there’s not much you can plug in irks me, so I guess my questions are:
How much does the no-external plug ins (USB/SD/Micro SD are all MIA) thing interfere with the use of the device, and I see that the ASUS has a HDMI cable, how useful is that? I’m unsure what that output is… and is the screen quality of the samsung worth another 0?

I have a 13" aluminum macbook purchased last year and I’m trying to view the screen via an HDMI cable on my tv. I know I will save more money purchasing the cables off the internet instead of from an Apple store so ..What cables do I need?

I just purchased a Samsung PN50C675 50" 3D Ready Plasma 1080p HDTV. I was wondering do I need a special HDMI cable because im going to be running the TV through my home theatre system. I currently own a Sanyo 50 inch plasma that has 720p only and the picture quality isnt that great. I was wondering if it has something to do with my hdmi cable, i purchased them for like .00 on amazon.com

Hi,
Very soon I will buy a new TV. But I am still doubting if I want to buy a 3D tv or not. I was wondering if it is possible to download a movie (legally) on my laptop and then watch it in 3D on my TV (through a HDMI cable). Another possibility for me is to put the movie on a USB stick and put that in my TV.

Is any of these options (or a good and cheap alternitve) possible?
