I was unable to send both video and audio from a brand new (late 2010) 17" macbook pro. As a video adapter it works fine, and if that was all that I was expecting, I would give it 3-4 stars (1080i resolution doesn't fit the screen). But this cable is falsely advertised as supporting audio. I am a software developer and know how to configure these systems. So I can say this with confidence. I'm not sure why the other reviewer was able to pass audio. It could be that they sent us different cables.
Update - I ended up purchasing a Griffin Mini displayport to HDMI adapter (search for "Griffin Video Display Converter"). The adapter passes video and audio via HDMI without a problem. So my original audio problem was definitely with the cable. 1080i resolution also fits in the screen properly with the Griffin adapter (although the picture is still fuzzy - that may be a limitation of the video card). 6ft Mini Displayport Male to HDMI Male Cable (Pure White, Set of 1)
It works and is convinient in the connectors on both end don't require further conversion. In my setup MacMini -> Sony AV Receiver -> Sony XBR6 TV. The video would blink out every few seconds. Very annoying. I think it has to do with this cable not able to transmit the HDCP handshake properly.
When connecting the cable directly to the TV it works.
This is the perfect cable if you want to connect a 2010 MacBook Pro to a TV. (Previous MacBook Pro's have a Mini DisplayPort output that does NOT support audio.) This cable supports both audio and 1080p video. - Hdmi - Hdmi Cables - Hdmi Cable - Amazonbasics'
