Q: What cables do I need to connect my MBA to a TV?

I would like to connect my Macbook Air to a new 47" Vizio TV. It is a 1080p, and has several open HDMI ports. Will a Mini Display to HDMI adapter send video and audio?

MacBook Air (13-INCH, MID 2011), iOS 5.1.1

you need this cable - Mini DP to HDMI - you'll get audio and video with it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! I saw several threads that made mention of needing and audio source too, but thought that might be for just DVI. I appreciate the help.

older macbook when connected via hdmi does video only and not sound...

since you have a newer macbook - yours support both sound and video...

have a look here to confirm:
