Is anyone more up to date with this? I remember a while pack hearing about it and saw a few reviews of it just before it was supposed to be released. I can't seem to find it anywhere to buy, but I was actually hoping there has been a cheaper HDMI to MDP made by a company such as monoprice? It's starting to annoy me now not being able to use my mac as a monitor for my PS3 as that was part of the reason I bought it. I've gone around a year without it and have remained calm but now I have lost my patience, I just want to be able to play fifa and actually be able to read the name of the players (yes my TV really is that bad) or even have a game of cod were I can actually see my enemy when they are at any kind of distance. Praying for some good news, I'd go out tomorrow and buy an adapter if I could!

I assume you mean this?

I can kinda see your point, there are no results showing of anything like this in the UK. There's an MDP to HDMI but that's the opposite so it won't be as useful :P Usually I'll throw in a comment about how the mini-DVI / mini-display port thing Apple insist on chucking out there is pointless, unnecessary and a hindrence, but that's far from useful. However, would this not work?

Other than that, they just don't seem to exist in the UK :/ Unless you really want to fork out for one.

I wish it was the one you have found, that seems to be the only thing that pops up. What I need is a HDMI to MDP, that is MDP to HDMI. Thanks for the help though. :)

Thanks!! That is exactly what I have been looking for, the reviews seem great and it can be shipped to the UK but the only problem is the price. I was hoping that it wasn't going to be as expensive as thought but it's $150. I hope the pound to dollar rate is good but if not I guess I will look on other sites like ebay/amazon to find one for cheaper first.
