2010 MBA with Samsung BX2231 monitor? (HDMI connector)

Will my 2010 13" MBA work with this monitor?
I read in this forum that connecting a MBA to a monitor via HDMI creates problems.
Is this true?
The Samsung BX2231 only has one D-sub and two HDMI connectors. (no DVI)
BX2231 - Signal Input
Video Signal Analog RGB / DVI / HDMI
Sync. Signal Separate H/V, Composite, SOG
Connectors: D-Sub / HDMI x2
I would appreciate any info or suggestions.
Thanks
Hernan

It is fine. I need a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. Also the software update 10.6.5 solved a lot of issues.

  • Is a 2008 MacBook2,1 compatible with a DVI or HDMI connector?

    I want to buy a new LCD monitor and have been told that a  HDMI or DVI connector would offer better resolution than the VGA I'm currently using with an older Mac, a 2008 (Intel) MacBook 2,1 (OS 10.6).  Can anyone tell me how to find out whether an HDMI or DVI can be used with my present computer?  Thanks!

    Thanks, Kappy.  I realized from your answer that I should be asking different questions:
    (1) Is there a way the monitor I want, an Asus PA248Q2 IPS 24" LED <http://www.amazon.com/PA248Q-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Professional-Graphics/dp/B008DWH00K /ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1393215658&sr=1-1&keywords=pa248q> will work with the Macbook I have (see above)?
    (2) If so, what kind of connector do I need?  I think my ancient HP monitor is connected to the Mac with a VGA to DVI adaptor that came with the Macbook.  Would the VGA or DVI cable that come with the Asus will work?  (It doesn't have speakers, so no HDMI cable is included.)  Or would there be something extra I'd need to get for an older Mac?
    (3) If the monitor I want won't work, what type of monitor--besides my old Apple Cinema display, which is busted--would work with this Macbook?  Thanks again for any advice--very much appreciated!

  • I just bought Mac Book pro; trying to hook up dual monitor with Samsung syncmaster 2033 but no signal; I am using dvi to hdmi converter. Please assist.

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro but unable to set up dual display with samsung syncmaster 2033 via DVI to HDMI port.
    Thank you in advance for help.

    There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
    The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

  • No sound on mac mini with samsung monitor using hdmi

    I have a new mac mini which is hooked up through an HDMI cable to a Samsung L2350 monitor.  How can I get sound out of the monitor?  Right now, nothing is coming out.  I've made sure my setting are correct but still no luck.
    Please help!

    Which Samsung Monitor....?
    A Google Search >  Samsung L2350 - Google Search does not turn up any Samsung monitors.
    Check your Sound Preferences.
    If you don't see the HDMI option in the Sound Preference, try going to the Audio MIDI Setup in Applications Utilities.
    If the Sound Preference and Audio MIDI Setups are set correctly, then perhaps you need to either explore the Samsung Manual or try a different HDMI cable.

  • Problems with Macbook Pro 2,2 DVI to Samsung Plasma 40'' HDMI

    Hi all, sorry if this sounds familiar, just want to check I've done everything.
    Essentially, I'm attempting to connect the DVI (NOT Mini-DVI) output on my MacBook Pro 2,2 to the HDMI port (labelled HDMI2/DVI) input on my Samsung TV using this cable: http://tinyurl.com/37cfcum
    Instead of becoming a second/mirrored display, the MacBook briefly looks as though it is attempting to connect (flash from blue), then nothing. TV displays "No Signal", and on the MacBook, System Preferences > Display gives the settings as if no external monitor were connected, and System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays > Display Connector indicates "No Display Connected".
    Macbook connects fine using a DVI to VGA cable to an external 15'' Samsung LCD monitor, using either mirror or dual display.
    I've tried the TV's other HDMI port, only to the exact same result.
    I've also attempted using a DVI to HDMI adapter instead, similar to this: http://tinyurl.com/353ua4e and using a standard HDMI to HDMI cable from there to the TV, only to get the exact same result. The HDMI cable works brilliantly with the Xbox 360, which is direct HDMI-HDMI.
    I've updated the TV to its latest firmware, and have sent off for Snow Leopard in the hope that something might change to help, but I'm not expecting miracles.
    I'd really appreciate if anyone could make a suggestion for something I might be missing? I'm really new to the world of Macs, and although I'm enjoying it so far, from what I've heard so far, MacBooks hate HDMI and Samsung TVs
    If it's any help, the TV is a Samsung Plasma 40'', model PS42B430, manuf. September 09.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Edit: I'm basically looking to watch high definition TV/Movies; would much prefer not to go down the S-video or Composite route if possible!

    Thanks Louie - it seems painful not to use HDMI, I've never really understood Apple's logic behind the anti-copy stuff they've done in the past but I think you're right, it's probably that
    Regarding SVGA, connection-wise do you mean DVI->VGA->TV? My TV doesn't have a VGA input port Could I go DVI->VGA->HDMI->TV or DVI->VGA->Component->TV? There's S-video or composite, but I'd prefer to avoid if poss... what do you think?

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

  • No signal in my Samsung tv when I use HDMI connector?

    Hi. I have a problem with the Hdmi connection to my iPad 3. It doesn't work in my Samsung tv, it says " there is not signal". I have tried it  in another one, same brand and it works. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
    Thanks
    Ladysnow

    Thank you for your answer. I have checked the Hdmi connector, in this case is Hdmi2 and still the same problem :(

  • Mac mini bought January 2013 with Samsung 712N S monitor

    Hello,
    I bought a Mac Mini in January 2013 and I am trying to make it work with my old Samsung monitor 712N S, I bought also the minidisplay port to vga adapter.
    The problem is that the monitor won´t work, just black, no sign of connection.  I checked the mac mini with my tv through hdmi and works perfect.
    Any idea how can I make it work?
    Thanks a lot.

    Check the monitor with another video source. Be sure it's working. If it is working, then you've isolated the problem to either the cable or VGA adapter, or the Mini itself.

  • I'd like to project what's on my Mac Mini with Samsung monitor to my standard definition Samsung TV via WIFI.  What HDM1 dongle should I buy?

    I'd like to project what's on my Mac Mini (with Samsung monitor) to my Samsung TV (standard definition) via my WIFI.  What HDM1 dongle should I buy?

    You can in fact buy what you want, no need to go with Apple TV
    To connect (wirelessly) your Mac to the HDMI on the TV:
    They range from $100 on up.

  • Dual Samsung 2343bwx Monitors with Mac Mini

    I am looking to purchase the new Mac Mini Server for my lab, but have a question. I currently have dual Samsung 2343bwx monitors attached to a Windows 2008 server (please no snickers, I am replacing it with a Mac!) using UltraMon to span the desktop across both monitors. My question is can the Mini support both monitors at 2048 x 1152, and give me the same functionality I have now?
    If it does support it can you tell me what connectors your are using?

    Should work ok. The 2048x1152 16:9 aspect ratio on the 2343BWX is only slightly more pixels than 1920x1200.
    See this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9855163&#9855163
    And spanning shouldn't be a problem, either.

  • How can I connect my Early 2011" Macbook Pro 13" inch, with a generic Mini Display Port to HDMI connector, to a LG 32LD340 LCD TV, using Mountain Lion 10.8.2?

    I have an Early 2011" macbook pro 13 inch (core i5 2.3ghz 4gb ram 320hdd) with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I want to connect it via Mini DP to HDMI connector, and a HDMI cable to a LCD TV LG 32LD340. When I had Lion OS, I had no problems at all.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • IPad 2 hdmi connector no longer works with iOS 7.3

    Hi any one else had this issue? I have always connected my iPad 2 to my tv via a apple made hdmi connector, used mainly for fils on netflix eat. Since firmware updated to 7.3 this no longer works. Is this anther apple issue? My wife has an iPad 3, pre lightening and the "official" adapter has never works just get a message that states the attached accessory is not supported.... Any ideas anyone???

    I have an ipad 2 running ios 6.0.1 and an older Dell TV (1080i) and have always been able to mirror.  Running ios 5 the mirroring worked perfectly for sound and video.  Don't remember if I tried while running 5.1.  Now that I have 6.0.1, I can still mirror, but the whole screen is pink on this Dell TV.  When I make the connection from ipad to the tv, mirroring starts immediately and the notification bar on the ipad home screen pulsates from blue to black and the cable is detected.  I have sound and video working fine except for the colors.  The ipad detects the AV Composite cable under settings>about but there is no TV out setting under General Settings where I'm supposed to see TV OUT listed under iTunes Wi-Fi sync.  I have changed the hdmi to a new one, but it didn't help.  I also have a new Panasonic Viera tv and everything (with the same cables) works perfectly on that TV.  Leads me to believe it's an issue with the TV OUT function of the ipad.  I don't know if any of this is helfpul information, but I thought it might help you narrow down what is going on with your setup.

    my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio  any suggestions?

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.
