they are actually made by Jiang Su or Top Victory this year. they are not made by samsung FYI. it’s a super solid purchase though. please don’t take this as negative.
i would say just do display port to DVI to HDMI or do one of those ebay mini display to HDMI adapters. the only downside is you’re not getting audio, but you can get another cable for audio.
Most tv’s will have a HDMI input that also has an audio L&R port so you can use something such as an audio Y cable to go from that input out to your MBP’s output jack.
