 |
|
I'm leaving the state and heading to Korea in a little over a week.
When I arrive in Korea I would like to be able to connect my laptop to a television so I can watch movies on a decent sized screen (15" isnt bad though).
Can anyone give advice as to what I need to do this?
And should I buy the connections in the states or wait until I get to Korea.
I dont know what kind of tv will be in my apartment (if they've even bought a television yet). |

so I arrived in Korea and my school didnt buy me a flashy flatscreen, plasma tv.
Is there any place that you can recommend getting a DVI to video adapter in Korea.
I tried the electronics mall at Yongsan and the only thing they sold was the mini-dvi or the dvi to hdmi.
Any recommendations? Is there an online electronics store that I can use that ships in Korea? |

What does your laptop have? DVI? VGA? What does the school's TV have? VGA, DVI, RCA? |

I have a 15" inch Macbook Pro (the aluminum model that preceded the Unibody Macs). It uses DVI not Mini-dvi....the tv that I want to connect to uses RCA... |

I have that same one. You need this cable:

Then you just use the standard RCA (red, white, yellow) and plug just the yellow into that adapter and then into the yellow port to the back of the TV. |

was this recently? I'm getting the feeling that most places are only carrying the mini-dvi.
Also...is there a non-Apple device I can buy if an Apple product is no longer available?  |

Thanks for the heads up. I went there today and like you said they had them!
The price wasnt bad either..maybe about $5 more than the American price. |
