Imac to TV

[asimm]

OK, I have rented my first film and the 24" Imac is just not big enough! Does anyone know of the easiest way to hook the Imac up to my LCD TV for video and sound?

Thanks

I have a mini DVI to DVI adapter....then a DVI to HDMI cable to my Plasma.

For Audio, i just use the 3.5mm jack to stereo phono. Does the job

Some do, some don't.

I know the headphone jack on a MBP doubles as an optical out, so maybe it is the same for the iMac too?

I think you are correct

Wow - thanks, sounds complicated but will give it a go if I have the leads. The film I rented from iTunes yesterday looked great on the iMac but not sure it will hold when blown up on a 40" LCD.

If it's an Intel iMac then the audio out jack accepts analog and digital connectors, though you'll need a special cable such as this, or an adaptor like this
