Video-only is common with less expensive cables.
Within the Mac’s display window you can click Arrangement and then enable the Mirror Displays option to have the Mac’s display and TV show the same image. As with the other adapters, to view the DisplayPort video, launch the Displays system preference and two windows appear-one for the Mac’s display and another for the connected TV. You have to provide your own audio cable and connect it to your AV gear to have sound play through that gear. Bott’s $29 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter II, are for making video-only connection. So ok for some streaming (if you can output sound to a soundbar or something) and fine for presentation use (PowerPoint etc).Specifically, some adapters, such as Dr. So this will work for BBC, and Netflix but not all streaming services. Some streaming services (Sky / Disney) technically disable output via HDMI (to prevent copying).
So, as this does not carry audio (it is not meant to), take audio from your mac using the headphone socket (into a sound bar or other device). Note that Thunderbolt 2 carries video but not audio (this is nothing to do with the adapter). After all, that doesn't matter if you are watching it on the other screen). So an iMac 5k screen will drop to the resolution of the TV / monitor you plug it into. Note that both displays will change to the resolution of the monitor with the lowest resolution. Then your Mac desktop will appear on both displays. But before you hastily send it back as faulty, go to your display settings (Apple icon / System preferences / display) and select to 'mirror displays'. BUT if you just plug this into the iMac, nothing happens (at least for me). I'm using this on a late 2015 i7 iMac on OS Big Sur. 18 Month Warranty - Exclusive BENFEI Unconditional 18-month Warranty ensures long-time satisfaction of your purchase Friendly and easy-to-reach customer service to solve your problems timely.
