    Default Thunderbolt to HDMI

    Hello all, quick bit of advice if possible.. I have recently bought a shiny new Macbook Pro (pre retina) and I want to be able to stream downloaded films from my MAC to the TV... What is the best lead to buy? I presume some sort of Thunderbolt to HDMI lead? Will this also carry the audio?

    Any suggestions gratefully received

    Thanks
    Jon

    I know it does pictures for sure, work bought a 3rd Party one from Maplin.

    However... Do you not have HDMI out on the Retina's ??? I am certain you do. If not then you have not been sold a Retina?

    *EDIT*

    Apologies, you did say 'Pre Retina' !! My bad!

    Again, I know the dongles work fine but not sure for sound as we use them on Projectors. I would imagine they do.
    Alternatively if you have an Apple TV you could Airplay Mirror to the Apple TV.
    We all make mistakes sometimes

    Thanks to Goldberg

    yes it outputs sound. mine goes via pass through on my pioneer amp and I get the sound and video. I did not give apple all that money for one though when they are about 5 quid from just about anywhere else!!
