Someone had set up the Sony Bravia for me when I bought it, and they renamed the inputs. I figured out (finally) how to set the TV to the VGA input (called PC Input on the Sony Bravia). Later when I had everything working, I went back and played with the resolution of the screen.

I went to system preferences/display/arrangement and picked Mirror Display. On the Macbook Pro, I went to system preferences/display/detect displays and it downloaded a Sony TV display for me. With the VGA hookup, it did recognize the TV (it went blue screen temporarily on the Macbook Pro). I tried HDMI hookup but my macbook pro didn't recognize the TV. Mine doesn't seem to have the "mirror display" icon on any of the function keys. I have read that I should use PF7 on my Macbook, but I don't think that may be from a different version of Macbook than mine. I need some step by step instructions including what order to turn the TV and the computer on, and when to connect the cable to the mini display port. Will I be able to do that when I get this working? I thought I could use the TV like an external computer monitor. I want to display a Powerpoint presentation and a set of photos from Iphoto on the TV this Sunday (January 29, 2012). The user manual for the TV says I should change the output signal from the PC to a certain resolution. The TV doesn't seem to know that I have a computer attached to it. Everything fits well, but I am still seeing only two external inputs for the TV: my DVD player and my cable box. I plugged the HD15 cable into the rear of my TV where it says RGB. I bought the Apple attachment to connect my mini display port to a HD15 cable with ferrite core. I too have a Sony Bravia and a Macbook Pro with a mini display port.

If anyone has the same problem or can point me in the right direction that would be highly appreciated!

disabling various settings on the TV (Sony Motionflow etc).

switching to the TV as main monitor i OSX display preferences.

changing the modes on the TV (auto, zoom, panorama etc).

tried various resolutions (1080p / 1080i / 720p etc).

So far I´ve tried the following without any results: When connecting my Xbox360 or DVD/Bluray player via HDMI the picture is smooth. The video is not far from perfect, but the slight stuttering is very annoying! Regardless of what video I play (DVD from MAC, full 1080p files, divx) this issue occurs. When trying to play back any video in full screen, the playback goes slightly choppy (stutters). The connection apparently works fine giving full 1080p image and sound via the HDMI cable. I´ve connected my Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB ram (Mid2010) to my new Sony Bravia KDL-40EX700 via a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Hope anyone can help me out with this one! Been browsing the net for hours without any result so far.
