how to connect my imac to tv

I have an 2010 iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), and I would like to hook it up to my 50" Plasma TV . What cables do I used? And do I hook it up to a splitter or a switch? Beside the HDMI, I also have two other connections on my TV, RS-232C INPUT and RGB INPUT. Which one do I use? I have an adapter, (my daughter didn't used it), it's a Mini DisplayPort / Female VGA Video Cable

You need a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor (make sure you get one that supports audio; not all do) and an HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. If you already have a video/audio receiver with multiple HDMI inputs connected to your TV and sound system, it's usually best to use that.

Well you must by a mini Display port to HDMI adapter from Apple and connect the HDMI to your tv.
