I think you've got great answers to this question already. I completely agree with the min DisplayPort --> DVI, even if you don't go to the HDMI. Make sure you check monoprice.com or bluejeancable if you need to buy cables.

The only think I could ADD would be, that the current offered solution requires more than one cable to the TV. If you're anything like me, you want the cleanest install you can get.

You could use a converter box (similar to the one linked below) to convert the DVI and audio to a single HDMI output for the TV. This would mean you only have a single connection into the TV.

I am aware that this device can only take audio from SPDIF audio outputs to convert into the HDMI, I have no clue if the MacBook has such an output, but I imagine there are similar devices that might accept analog audio direct from the 3.5mm (headphone jack) output on the MacBook.


EDIT: There are definately ways to take the analog audio + the dvi out and convert to HDMI. More links:
