How to Connect the MacBook Pro to a Flat Screen TV
Connect your MacBook Pro to the inputs on your flat screen TV to enjoy your digital media files on your flat screen's speakers and larger screen. MacBook Pros come equipped with a Mini DisplayPort that allows the transfer of both audio and video feeds from your computer's hardware to an external device. While the port itself is native to the computer, you will have to purchase an additional adapter in order to enable its functions.
