You realize that's for VGA, not TV, right?

And I'd never buy stuff like that from Best Buy.

Go to Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com or use the Apple authentic adapter.

What kind of TV? Almost any TV with a VGA input also has a DVI or HDMI input that you can use with your Mac, possibly at a higher resolution.
