Connecting a MacBook Pro to Philips HD TV
Hi,
I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro, late 2011, to my Philips 32" HD TV. I am trying to use the thunderbolt connction to connect to it's HD port. However when I click on "Detect Displays" the mac does nothing. I usually connect it to a smalled LG HD TV on my desk for a second monitor, and this works fine. I plug it in, click the "detect displays" and it does it's little thing of turning both screens a pale blue before starting the dual desktop view.
It doesn't even do the blue screen thing when I connect to my Philips TV and click "detect displays".
I have heard that apparently Apple and Philips TV have trouble talking to each other via HD, is this true? Sounds pretty bad if it is coming from two large technology companies! I've had a look in other forums and online etc, but haven't found a solution yet, perhaps I'm missing something?
If anyone can help me solve this problem I would be very grateful, as I don't watch TV and only want to use the TV to stream from my laptop, so it's a bit of waste if it doesn't work!
Thanks,
Martin.
P.S. I'm using a MacBook Pro, late 2011 version.
