Could you help me find an HDMI compatible cable for my Early 13" MacBook Pro 2011?
I think I need to go USB into an additional converter but I don’t which it is. Help would be much appreciated!

I think you need a mini DVI to HDMI like THIS
That isn’t USB. Mini Displayport is something else entirely. @Tropical_Willie And no, it isn’t DVI either. The Powerbook G4 is a whole other beast with a totally different connector.
Try this
@jerv hmm the mini displayport on my macbook shows a lightning bolt symbol next to it… I wonder if it’s Thunderbolt (transfer) approved only?
It should work. Thunderbolt uses the same plug as mini-displayport. Thunderbolt is pretty much an expansion on the spec.
“And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter.”
From here
So a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI should work.
