Old MacBook to new HDMI Monitor Connection
I'm giving my old 2008 MacBook MB403LL/A to my parents (who are using more ancient iMac), but my mother has vision issues. I just bought a new Samsung 22" HDMI monitor to hook up to it and was told all I needed was a USB to HDMI cable. Can't find one anywhere but have found adapter options online. Do I need a 2.0 USB to HDMI adapter and then HDMI cable or can I use 3.0 USB HDMI adapter (will is step down?) and then HDMI cable? Any other options (e.g, Firewire 400 to HDMI)? I've gotten so many different answers I'm completely confused. Prices on adapters and HDMI cables vary DRAMATICALLY. Is there a difference in quality? Thanks for any insight
MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
