Apple's MacBook line of notebook computers includes a built-in Mini DisplayPort on each unit that allows the computer to connect to Apple's LCD Cinema Display. You can also purchase an adapter, however, that allows you to connect the MacBook to an HDMI equipped television. Once the MacBook is connected to the television, you can watch Netflix movies on the television in a few simple steps.
Step 1
Plug the male Mini DisplayPort end of the Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter into the Mini DisplayPort on the side of the MacBook computer.
