The ports Mini DisplayPort found on new MacBook Pro also transmit sound, unlike the old models that were limited to video. It uses mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to use this feature and unlike the latest rumors, Apple officially deny being preparing such a product. It thus fall back on the model of Griffin or those manufactured by companies less known but equally effective.

He must surely know that the 24-inch LED LCD screen of the firm will always ask that the sound through the USB port. It is true that the screen was designed before the new laptops and that there may be a hardware incompatibility, but Apple uses in any way the USB port to take advantage of the integrated webcam to monitor as well as its hub. In short, whatever happens, connect a Cinema Display to MacBook necessarily demand the use of a USB port.

Scope interesting but limited
Benefit of wearing mini DisplayPort on new MacBook Pro is that it will facilitate the viewing of content on an HDTV. Its integration into the Mac Mini should therefore be even more interesting.
