Samsung 51 inch

I need your opinion could this all be a defect I only have had this tv for about two months and I have comcast cable the type where you can have a guide and see the listings of channels well, I notice the other day when I was watching tv and their would be a brief pause in the cable and it would have no picture. The tv would blink? until the next commercial or tv show came on. what could this be?

The TV would work fine when the commercial came on? Does it seem like this happens in a timed event like every 5 or 10 mins or it only works fine when a commercial comes on. It sounds more like a HDMI handshake issue. Are you using an HDMI cable?

The graphics processor of your MacBook is failing. Not so surprising for this particular model, I'm afraid.
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

How can I steam from my early 2011 15-inch Mac Book Pro to my 2007 Samsung TV?

I have an early 2011, 15-inch Mac Book Pro Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). It does not have an HDMI port. I have a Samsung TV I bought in 2007 (Model LN-4061F). How can I stream from laptop to my TV? My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I've read I can buy an adapter, but I'm not sure what to buy.
-Does Apple make them?
-Are knockoff adapters "safe" to use with my laptop, and are they reliable/have a good quality connection?
-How much do they cost (I've seen cheap ones on Amazon)?
-What kind should I buy?
-Will my laptop stream in HD?
I'm new to the community, so hoping someone can advise me how to do this. We also have a Roku, but I'm looking to stream DVDs and directly from TV network websites.
Thanks for your help!

You will have to use the minidisplay port to connect to the TV. Assuming that the TV has an HDMI port, you will need a cable such as this:

With this, you eliminate the need for an adapter.

Is it possible to attach Samsung Monitor to the 27 inch Cinema Display?

Hello,
I have an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display and I also have a Samsung 27 inch monitor.
I would like to know if it's possible to create a dual monitor setup by connecting the Samsung monitor (dvi or hdmi) with an adapter to the Cinema Display's mini display port on the back?
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or does it only work with another Cinema Display?
I'd appreciate any help received.
Thanks,

Is it possible to connect the PC to the Samsung monitor via Dual link DVI and to the Apple Cinema Display via mini display port and work as a dual monitor setup?
That should work if the PC has both DisplayPort and dual-link DVI (or two DisplayPorts).
I'm thinking the best solution for MacBook Air is to purchase a Thundebolt display and hook that up to the Cinema Display and I think then I would have a dual screen setup at full resolution.
That will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort display.
But currently I don't think there is a way to connect a PC to a Thunderbolt Display.
Not unless the PC has Thunderbolt.

Will A 27 Inch Samsung LED Monitor work on my Macbook pro?

I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro and I am not sure what ports it has. I see 2 ports apart from the USB (2 ports), Power and LAN. I am planning to buy a 27 inch Samsung LED monitor for the laptop. Here are the Macbook specs:
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 Ghz
Memory - 8 GB
Graphic - NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
VRAM - 256 MB
I have read that even if I buy a monitor with speakers, I won't be able to get sound from them. What are my options if I buy a monitor with or without speakers? Will I need to connect to speakers using USB? The monitor has an HDMI port... in that case what cable will I need to connect the monitor to my MBP?
Thanx in advance for all your help.

Well you are in luck (I think) because the 2009 models actually output sound via HDMI with minidisplay port.**
you'll need to get this Mini DP
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and an hdmi cord, and then just plug and play!

** to see if your model is compatible with outputting audio from minidisplay port.
in the comments from MM in Orlando, it says:
The best solution, instead of trying to figure out the date your mac was born and the cut-off, etc...
1. Click on the Apple Icon in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Click "About this Mac."
3. Click "More Info."
4. Click on "Audio (Built In)." *** If you see "HDMI Output or HDMI/DisplayPort Output
- Then you are GOLDEN!!!! If not, you are like me and extremely frustrated
if you're out of luck like me, you can also try to get a miniToslink to Toslink cord, that is if your new samsung led supports it. I run mine into a 5.1 reciever so it doesn't matter if my monitor has one or not.

Mac mini: Samsung 27 inch series 3 monitor problem.

Connecting HDMI(mini) to HDMI(Monitor) leads to poor text resolution (blurry difficult to read). Monitor only has HDMI or VGA. Will mindisplay to vga adaptor work and give a clear picture?
Have tried PC to moitor through VGA and gives clear perfect picture.
Answer would be most grateful as otherwise mac is much better than PC in all other aspects and would not wish to go back to PC

OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?

Iam trying to connect my 17 inch early 2012 to a samsung 52 TV I can't I would like to know why?

Iam trying to connect my 17 inch early 2012 to a samsung 52 TV I can't I would like to know why?

So long as your TV has an HDMI input then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable, like this:

When you say that you can't, can you explain in more detail what you mean please.

Samsung 24-inch display auto-dimming problem

Right out of the box 3 or 4 months ago, my Samsung 24 inch 2443 BW dims uncontrollably whenever I have a window open that has mostly black or other dark-colored background - say about 60% black; I can actually watch the whole screen and desktop - not just the window - brighten or darken in response to manipulating the images and/or background color in the window. This is on a G5 1.8GHz dual with a GeForce FX 5200, running 10.4.11. It doesn't depend on the ambient light. The System Prefs doesn't offer any way to control auto-dimming. I'm thinking it could be a driver problem, maybe related to the fact that I am still using 10.4.11.
Has anyone had a similar problem and found a fix or workaround? Thanks.

Problem solved! This morning (yes, I should've done this 6 months ago, soon after I bought the unit). As a prelude to returning the unit to Samsung, I finally took the 2443 BW back to my local Apple (specialist) dealer (not an Apple Store. They're independent and don't usually "do PCs", although they can if required). Of course I made sure I had some images that were guaranteed to demonstrate the problem. Their "service genius" watched the behavior for less than a minute and promptly fixed it. (Kudos! )
All that was needed was to "turn off" the "Dynamic Contrast" option from the Samsung's menu (MENU > Picture > MagicBright > Dynanamic Contrast), by selecting one of the other (static) options instead - I preferred the "Sport" option.
When I got it reconnected at home, I adjusted the contrast and brightness settings on the Samsung's Menu to suit me. I am also using the (Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Adobe RGB (1998) Display profile instead of the one labeled "SyncMaster"). The SyncMaster display profile makes the screen look very washed-out.
This dialogue has definitely helped, by helping to pinpoint the monitor itself as the most likely source of the problem.
Cheers

Connecting Samsung 50 inch plasma 5054

I connected my new Core 2 Duo Mac Mini to my Samsung 5054 50 inch plasma. However, if I check the overscan checkbox in the system preferences, the screen is clipped at the edges and I can't see the outside extremeties. If I uncheck the the overscan checkbox, the display does not occupy the whole screen. Is there a way to set up the display so that they screen image fits evenly on the screen?

Very common problem. Some people have success using programs like DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X to alter the format and timing to make the Mac screen fit the TV. But it is a very hit or miss process. And it may not even work.
Another possibility is that the display itself may have size and centering controls for the video image. Sometimes they are accessed through special service menus that are not published in the user guide. If that's the case, you need to find these on the internet using a search. Good luck.

Gradient banding in Samsung 20 inch LCD

Now idk where to begin, ok here's the best info i can give
I just assembled a new pc for graphic work/budget gaming 2 days ago:
intel core i3 530 mhz
2 gb ddr3 ram 1333 mhz
xfx nvidia geforce gt 240 1gb ddr5
windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
Samsung Myst Eco B2030 widescreen 20 inch lcd monitor
Now when i opened an old psd which contained some brushing and gradients, i could see bands in the gradients, even the wallpaper i put had bands on it. I even noticed that everything on my lcd looks hellish sharp, and when i force my head really close, i can see small square pixels all over the l cd. Is it due to the analogue output(VGA)?, should i switch to DVI?
I use 1600x900 res (native) at 32 bit
Then to test whether all gradients look the same, i opened a new ps document and made a black to white gradient, but it was smooth, there were no bands in there. But when i made a simple white box, applied full gaussian blur, and zoomed in around 2000% i could see the gradual bands again though not as bad as in the colored psd. It seems the problem only happens when i give a glow, or blurs. Then i played Splinter Cell Conviction (everything Maxed out) and again i could see gradient bands forming up in dark places, like when i die and a small cutscene is played, i could see gradient bands on the 4 corners. What could be the problem, is it the card? the lcd? i am new to lcd monitors so i dont know how to calibrate or whatever.
Please check if anyone else can see the bands on their lcd?

Regarding calibrating your display, it's not strictly necessary, but you did mention "oversaturation" in a post above. It's certainly your call whether you want to make your color-managed applications put out calibrated color.
Re switching to DVI, that's falling out of favor... How are you currently cabled to your monitor? HDMI? VGA? You've mentioned both. DVI would CERTAINLY be better than VGA.
This "Coarse effect" you speak of... Are you talking about jaggy fonts, or what? If so, do you have Font Smoothing enabled?
When I first switched from CRTs to LCDs (in 2004) I marveled that most graphics created by people using CRTs were actually butt ugly, simply because they could not see the actual image content very clearly and tended to overlook things and overcompensate for their own monitors' shortcomings.
On a good LCD using a good interface (DVI or better) you can see every pixel as a discreet element. That's a given.
After my switch from CRT to LCD I had to reset my perceptions - I had thoughts just like yours! After a while you start to realize that what may look oversharp and harsh to you may even still be too subtle for CRT users. For some time there's been a mix of CRTs and LCDs in the world, though honestly lately I've started to ignore the former as they are truly a dying breed (just try to buy a new CRT monitor nowadays). It is not wrong to concentrate solely on making graphics look good on ultra sharp LCD monitors. Don't be too hard on yourself for what you've produced in the past, when you couldn't "see clearly" yet.
That said, I should note that there are some LCDs that are not sharp at all. From time to time people post on this forum that they have trouble seeing the Photoshop UI elements at their fixed small size, and as you're no doubt aware now with your monitor there's really no problem seeing them on a very sharp display.
You could try taking a macro photo of what you're seeing on your display that you don't like. Other than that it's very difficult to communicate about such issues on a forum.

What res/screen ratio do I adjust my 13inch Macbook to so everything is seen fullscreen ( unsquashed ) when linked to a 21 inch ( 1080p) Samsung monitor please?

Hi there,
I have a 13 inch Macbook which I've linked up to a 21 inch Samsung monitor ( 1080 ). The second I do this, all documents on my Mac appear squashed and I cannot see them full screen ( I have to spend my whole time scrolling around to see docs fully )
I've been into the monitor ratio in the system prefs -
It was set to 1600 x 1200 and 1280 x 800
It's now set to 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
I don't even know which I should be altering.
Ideally I'd like it all fullscreen ( widescreen ) but if I have to have it at 4:3 then I'd at least like to be able to view things fully. It seems to work fine when going fullscreen on you tube, but for office presentations and photo previews etc I can only see a portion of the original.
Is this just something I have to get used to?? Would a differently sized monitor or even a mac monitor make it all ok?
I'd really appreciate anyone's help,
Jamie

Eustace
Thank you so much for replying. However I was about to remove this post. I worked out how to do it!
If anyone is having similar issues then turn off mirroring and change the arrangement in display preferences so that the monitor works as the main display and the macbook just shows the desktop. I then turned down the brightness levels on the macbook to conserve power.
Feel very proud of myself, but thank you!

Macbook to Samsung 32 inch 720p

Hello. I have a Macbook and a Samsung 32 inch 720p TV. I have recently moved it from one room to another and I suppose that because it was moved it did not keep the same resolution settings as before. Where it used to allow me a 1344x756 (interlaced) display it now no longer does. I was perplexed because my TV is not 720i so I guess I shouldn't have had an interlaced option but I did and it was perfect. I had to got to the number of recent items under the display in the menu bar to find that now i no longer have it. I have tried looking in the number of recent items even set it to ten but still no such option. My question is two part. First why did it change and second how can i get it back? Looked every where. Hopefully someone here can help! Im desperate for a solution. Thank you!

Hey, I think I can help sort of... I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro 13inch last week. I bought an display port to HDMI to connect to my tv and a mini dvi from my computer to the HDMI cable. I would never be able to find the resolutions I wanted. I would always be stuck with the 13inch resolution just blown up on my large 32inch SAMSUNG 720i or pi idk. This looked very odd and more or less didn't allow me to get the resolution I wanted to use my large 32inch like the apple 30inch displays...you get what I'm saying. Well I dl this program called insomnix and had it running. Then I put my computer to sleep manual and it bypass Insominx I think. Then in the morning I turned on my Samsung and was watching TV, I decided to flip on the laptop so I moved my bluetooth mouse and woke my computer up from sleeping. This allowed my tv to pick up the laptop"THE HWOLE TIME THIS IS GOING ON MY COMPUTER IS CLOSED THE SCREEN IS NOT ON AND ALLOWS THE SAMSUNG TO BYPASS THE LIMITATIONS ON SCREEN RESOLUTION I GET STUCK WITH WHEN MY LAPTOP SCREEN TURNS ON FORCING MY SAMSUNG TO ACCOMMODATE". I DK WHY THIS IS ALL IN CAPS BUT IT IS PROBABLY REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE WHOLE SITUATION.

Samsung Widescreen 19 inch

I am going to be purchasing a Samsung Widescreen 19 inch widescreen monitor for my MacBook Pro. It says it is compatible with Macs. The input says 1 D-sub, 1 DVI-D. Do I need to buy any sort of adapter for it to work with my Mac? Here is the link to the monitor: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8400438&type=product&id=1179877503 161
Please someone help!

Hi JRizzle: I suspect that the DVI-D connection on the monitor is a standard connection. If this is the case, you will just require the cable that may or may not come with the monitor. I have connected my MacBook Pro directly to my Acer 20" widescreen. It worked flawlessly, first try.
Good Luck

Samsung 42-inch Plasma TV just died

My 42-inch HP-T4254 started turning on and off by itself last Saturday and as of Sunday wouldn't stay on at all. I had a certified Samsung repairman check out the TV early this week and for $99, he told me that it would cost $650 to replace the power supply and motherboard. I've had this TV for just over 2 years so it was out of warranty. This is coming at a pretty bad time to have to buy a new TV, which seems like the only option when the repair cost is 75% of the replacement cost. Obviously, I'm not very pleased with both Best Buy and Samsung at the moment. Is there anything that Best Buy can do to help me?

it really sad that everyone of you has the same solution of paying more money for extended protection. When you spend thousands of dollars on a tv, why should you have to pay more money for protection on a tv. The tv should last for longer then 2 years. IT should last at least bare min 8 years. I've have a tube tv that i bought 10 years ago and it works fine to this day. I have video game equipment for example a sega nomad and a ps2 that still work just as good as new "old technology". I have an xbox360 that ive had to have replaced 4 times in 2 years because i would get a red ring of death "hardware failure". their is no excuse for that. the xbox 360 has a terriable defect rate/product failure rate. The bottom line is the manufacture needs to build quality products that will last and they are not doing that. They are not building the same quality products they used to. They rush products to market without making sure they are going to be durable, dependable, live up to Tonsumer expectations, ect.... They are getting away with this! They are conditioning you guys to think hey its the way its supposed to be. They are building crappy products and selling them to you and charging even more for a product to protect plan. Dont get me wrong their are going to be defects in manufacturing but as many complaints as ive seen and studied in school and seen in the business world is unacceptable. Now you guys just think its ok thats the way its supposed to be... you should be every bit as mad as the guy that posted this form with his tv going out. its not his fault he didnt want to spend the extra money on the protection on the tv. its the manufactures fault for rushing a product to market without making sure it works, its the manufactures fault for not standing behind their product, its the manufactures fault for not matching up the four marketing P's, its the manufactures fault for not utilizing the many manufacturing techniques that are avaible today that greatly reduce defects, and most of all its YOUR FAULT for condoning the manufactures behavor and continuing to buy from them and saying its ok i just need to buy the extra protection. It's not ok its not the way its supposed to be! Think if you bought a brand new car and it broke down multiple times, this is the same thing! To the guy thats tv broke sorry to hear about that man. If i were you i would call samsungs exective constumer services department (or whatever it is, they have customer service and then they have a level above that you want to complain to them) and complain it will get you some where. Remind them that the cost of fixing your tv is worth a lot less them complaining to 100's of people about how bad their products are and losing those possible customers. It will work it has worked for me when i got screwed over a couple times with the service industry and HH gregg. Just get by the customer service people on the phone and go above them and you will get somewhere. good luck to you. Do your homework, educate yourself, and dont put up with the bs.
