Not that DisplayPort isn't just an Apple thing. The industry is generally moving away from DVI and HDMI to display port so Apple is just ahead of the curve (as usual).

Thank you.  I wasn't familiar with the concept of mini display port.  So much 
to learn.

It isn't Mini DVI.

Its Apple's own mini display port connector. So, to go to a TV, you need their 
DVI adaptor, then you need to get an HDMI to DVI cable.

What you are looking for is something similar to a mini USB port...kind of. LOL 
It's not easy to describe.

  What are the monitor connections on the Mac mini purchased March 09, and the 
Mac Book Pro purchased July 09?  I thought they both have mini DVI, but the 
mini DVI to DVI connector that came with the Mac mini doesn't fit in any of the 
slots on the Mac Book Pro.  I'm determining if I need to purchase separate 
accessories to connect them to a TV via HDMI.  Thanks.
