Monoprice is also known for its other display adapters that are usually far cheaper than Apple's own options. It should especially be useful to folks using a Mac mini as an HTPC, but also for folks hooking up a MacBook or MacBook Pro to watch occasional content as well (hello, Hulu). The adapter will transmit audio data along with video if a device's Mini-DP supports it, however Apple's implementation on all current Macs does not. Gizmodo got a unit to test and they say it works as advertised. Unfortunately for users of new Macs, most monitors don't support the standard-but luckily HDTVs do. On system preferences, the built-in speakers are the only output audio. I've got the display working, but it seems like the audio only goes through my macbook's speakers. DisplayPort, mini or otherwise, supports the HDCP encryption scheme designed to "prevent pirating" of HD content.
