This is great, a solution for connecting your newer Macs, including the Mini, to your TV, without losing the HD video and surround sound audio.

There have been other solutions for connecting Mini DisplayPort, which is the video port connector for newer Macs, to your TV. You could convert to VGA, DVI, or even HDMI. However most of the adapters available cost you HDCP, the content protection mechanism required to pass true HD video to your TV. Even if they did support HDCP, Mini DisplayPort does not pass analog or digital audio, so no audio was passed over the HDMI connection. You were stuck with PC sound, or certain adapters might pass in analog (stereo) audio via USB audio. But this adapter actually uses the TosLink connector (same as the analog stereo connector but a digital connection) to get the surround sound audio and patch it into the HDMI connection to your TV. Wild! And if you know monoprice, you know that this is rock-bottom cheap to boot!
