Hi guys, any help on this one?
just bought a mini mac to use with my Kitchen TV (samsung) neither of them see each other? If I connect to a small CCTV monitor I have I can see the Mac mini but back on my TV and nothing. Any clues
thanks
you've been given some good advice already. and the shorter the cable you use, the better the signal. but additionally, if you need to use a cable more than about 10 FT in length, I recommend that you shop specifically for an active HDMI cable.
as an example, I use the Monoprice High Speed HDMI Cable - 30 Feet. they have circuitry inside them that boosts the signal at the display end.

How long is the cable? Use 5’ or shorter.
ok will try, but not sure how this would make any difference?
Longer cables = weaker signals.
Just to add to @hcsitas good advice, make sure you purchase HDMI certified cables as generic HDMI cables tend to be a crapshoot at best.
Great responses, many thanks.
A shorter cable works but mine are plastered over in the wall, so tried an HDMI booster which still didn't fix so a cable across is the answer.
Thanks again
Make sure it’s fully returnable/refundable. The mini is picky, mileage varies, may not work for everyone.
