How to use macbook as HD Movie Player on your HDTV 1080p

on Feb15 2011


There are many jukebox products offering HD player for your Full HD 1080p LCD TV. I found that we can utilize the macbook to do the job. Harware needed: Macbook, VGA cable, mini DVI to VGA conector, Apple remote, Macbook charger. Software needed: Plex, sofacontrol, switchresx. Pls find the demo video on how to do it.

    @ Kottonmouthed99 Well, you seem like your 12th I was thinking of buying one, when I asked the question, because if you do not after the date of this video, you can tell its 1 year old.

    @ EverythingISTechSie should not own a Macbook Pro if you are asking this question, what are you in school and the parents you bought so you can fit with all the other yuppies? Fuckin liberal sissy.
