MacBook Pro won't display on my SAMSUNG 2232BW monitor

Allright, so i bought this nice macbook pro 2 days ago and it works fantastic. I got myself a mini-dvi to HDMI converter so i can connect my external 2232BW samsung display to it. The mac detects the thing just fine, gets the model number and everything and all the settings appare to be right, but i get no image on the display. I hooked the display up to my old PC laptop which has an HDMI port and works fine. So there is either something with my mac or my mini-dvi to HDMI adapter.

Any ideas?

Macbook Pro 13" I5 - 2011 model, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Well hope someone will see this at some point. I tested the adaptor with another monitor and it worked fine. I also tested my SAMSUNG with a different laptop and it works so it clearly is some sort of software issue. Can someone please help??

It's a Displayport on the MBP so you need a displayport to DVI.. suprised the adapter even fit.

I had a problem just like that. I use a mini-dp to hdmi adapter to connect my mbp in a tv with a hdmi-hdmi cable.

I have another computer with a dvi interface and I can connect it to the same tv using a hdmi-dvi cable. Using a dvi-dvi it also works with my 2232 monitor.

But, if I use this hdmi-dvi cable with the minidp-hdmi adapter to connect the mbp to 2232 monitor, it doesn't work. The mbp detects the monitor, brand, model and resolution but I get no image in the display.

So, I'm pretty sure that the adapter is working, the cable is working, the monitor is working. But not all them together :S

Same problem but with Samsung S23A750 and a mini displayport to displayport adapter and displayport cable found with my monitor. Instead connect with Moshi adaptor mini Dp to Hdmi works fine.

Ok,after the last MountainLion update everything works fine. Now I had my Macbook Air connected to my Monitor via Diplsayport cable and other things (PS3, AppleTv) connected via HDMI. 😉
