Mirroring MAC/Parallels to hotel TV
What is the most inexpensive and simplest solution for mirroring a Macbook to a hotel TV for reviewing on-track videos.
Assume video playback could be from a OSX application or under windows/parallels.
I believe an AppleTV would work, but that is expensive and requires external power and an HDMI cable.
I prefer one of the 'streaming stick' solutions which could just plug into the hotel TV.

Apple TV is super. The new ones are small, a 3 foot HDMI cable and the AC cable takes up little space.
Pretty sure you could airplay to an iPad with an HDMI dongle, too. Even easier.

HDMI cable with whatever adaptor you need to plug into the MacBook?

Yup, hard to beat a simple HDMI cable (plugs right into my current MBP). I think a slim 5m cable should handle just about any situation.
There appear to be very slim cables available with reasonable quality and capable of handling basic 1080p bandwidth.

I thought you were looking for a wireless solution. Wired is easiest.
