Samsung 52" LCD TV-no image

I bought Samsung 52" LCD TV about 2 years ago in Best Buy. The very last time I watched TV was 5 days ago. Then, 2 days later, when I was going to watch TV again, I found the TV wouldn't response from the remote control. I changed the battery on the control. I tried to use the bottoms on the TV set, it didn't work either. Although the blue light on the bottom is on, the LCD screen just went black totally.
Question1: where I can find out that I purchased the protection plan or not? Question 2: How long the factory warranty cover? Q 3: If I don't have protection plan, where I should go to find repair? Please advise and thank you in advance.

Good luck with this. I hope you have better service than we have. Our Samsung plasma was less than a year old and we've been without it for 5 week and it will be 8 or more by the time it is resolved. If you don't have an extended warranty (we do), just go to your local tv repairman and have it fixed. It takes forever to get through the red tape of BB and the Geek Squad. See my post on the 16th. Ours is some electronic panel. Friend so mine with an LCD had the same issue but theirs was only the bulb. Good luck!

Small vertical lines when connecting macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD via HDMI

Hi
Just connected my macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD thru the HDMI port. Works a treat bar one issue...on non-moving images, colours which aren't whites or blacks, namely brighter colours, there appear small vertical lines. These seem to appear around the areas where there is a substantial difference between 2 colours (example the outline of a face against a lighter or darker background).
Tried all the obvious things such as calibration, different resolutions etc but cant get rid of them...they dont seem to be there with moving images though and certainly not on mainly white displays such a the Google homepage for example............Any thoughts?
Much obliged

Damaged Samsung 32" LCD TV

To Whom it May Concern,
I purchased a Samsung 32" LCD TV in store at Best Buy on July 28th. Not wanting to handle the television too much I had an in-store manager carry it to the checkout station and he bumped the center of the box against a blind corner he could not see. Harmless enough I thought and I didn't have him check the TV to see if it had been damaged since the bump seemed rather slight. I transported the unit home myself and awaited the delivery/set-up of my HD Direct TV satellite so that I could enjoy the newest addition to my home theater with all the trimmings. Well to my dismay, after pulling the TV from the box just a few days after I purchased it, that rather benign bump caused by the in-store manager cause a very small ding in the screen but when the television is turned on it looks like the entire LCD is smashed and I have no idea how I'm going to get BB to believe that I didn't cause that in transit. Can it even be repaired? I'm sooo disappointed and frustrated. HELP!!!

I would take it back to the store for an exchange, the sooner the better. Bringing back the same day or next definitely helps as far as believability in concerned. So don't delay any longer, explain the situation without losing your temper out of your self described frustration. Customer service workers are typically more willing to help a fellow PERSON out who are kind, courteous, and sincere. In a public place, the term PERSON usually goes away with the presence out a hostile customer, who is then seen more as a threat than a human being. Worst case scenario would be to contact consumer relations at 1-888-BESTBUY if a legitimate complaint needs to be placed.

MacBook connecting with VGA to Samsung 40" LCD TV -- picture is offset

I just plugged my MacBook into a Samsung 40" LCD TV with a VGA cable and a mini-DVI/VGA adapter. The picture looks crisp and great on the TV at 1360x768, except for one major problem -- on the TV, the whole screen is shifted to the right by maybe 200 pixels, so that there's a black bar on the left and the rightmost stuff (like the spotlight icon and the time) gets cut off.
This happens with mirroring on and off, and the laptop screen displays normally.
Anyone encounter this before and know how to fix it? If not, might switching to a DVI-to-HDMI connection work better?

Does your TV have an auto adjust menu option, like regular LCD monitors? If not have you tried turning the TV off and then back on while the MacBook is connected? Under your System Prefs, does it detect and list the Samsung LCD? Have you tried clicking the "Detect Displays" button while everything is hooked up?
PS I run DVI out on my Mac Mini to my Samsung DLP TV. DVI seems to be a sharper picture than the few times I used the VGA input.

Question on Gaming with Mac Mini and hooking one up to a Samsung TV LCD HD

I am looking at buying the 2.26 Ghz mini with 4 gigs of ram. I understand that minidisplay port does do audio and that a 3rd party is releasing a cable that does just this instead of 2 adapters to make it work without audio. My first question is, I would like to make a mini take the place of a apple tv. Namely because I would rather have full functionality on a tv rather than just the audio and movies and pics. If I get the optical cable, I understand the optical in the audio jack out does support 5.1 surround if you are using the optical and not a regualar 3.5mm jack. Is this correct?
I also was curious about how well the 9400m graphics card would handle a game such as World of warcraft. My laptop does just fine, but it also has a faster processor, the 9600 gt and a 7200 rpm hard drive. My tv is a Samsung 52" LCD 1080P 120HZ. Thanks in advance!

Who confirmed that to you? I'm having major difficulty finding out if the Mini DisplayPort does indeed have audio capabilities. So far it's not looking god, which seems like utter madness.

Touchpad pointer jumps around when connecting to samsung 40'' LCD

Hi guys
For the past two years, I have been connecting my macbookpro 13’’ (mid2009) to my Samsung 40’’ LCD using mini displayport to hdmi cable, suddenly something went wrong and the touchpad pointer started to jump (twitch) around. I tried different adapter but the problem still occurred. when I remove the cable. the pointer act normal.
Last night I connected my MBP to an old made in china LCD TV and everything worked fine.
what do you think is the problem? Is there any troubleshooting steps I should do? Please help

No trackpad control when HDMI cable connected or trackpad goes crazy when HDMI cable connected?
The erratic Track Pad/Magic Pad behaviour could be caused by the SMC.
Try resetting the SMC this way:
1. Attach the HDMI cable.
2. Power off the MacBook Pro.
3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
4. Release them all at the same time (its ok if the MacBook Pro power on now)
5. Then power on the MacBook Pro.
Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Track Pad/Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.

PPC Mini works with Samsung 46" LCD at 1360x768 (sort of)

Greetings.
I just purchased a Samsung 46" LCD panel with the intent of using my PPC mini as a home theatre. I connected the mini to the LCD and once I turned off overscan, the display looks very good. The on-screen text is clear and sharp and the colors look great.
I am having a problem, however, displaying graphics such as DVD movies. It looks that when I play DVDs there is a bit of pixellation and the blacks look washed out.
The guys at BestBuy told me that this is due to the mini not producing a video frame rate fast enough. Is this true? If so, will the graphics processor in the Intel mini work any better?
Thanks in advance.

MacMini, Pioneer VSX-23TXH reciever, Samsung 52A LCD

I have the configuration mentioned in the topic. Everything is working fine, video and audio. The only problem I have is that the desktop, when displayed on the Samsung 52" LCD, is a little bit to far to the left. In other words, there is about a 1/2 inch black on the right side of the display and on the left, the desktop is cut of in such a wa that you can only see about half of the apple in the the Menu bar. I have a several resolutions available and have tried them all. The best display I get is when 1344x765 60Hz, Overscan is selected. With in the Samsung Monitor menus I have it set "Just Scan" under the Mode heading. You can move the desktop four ways but it doesn't go all the way to the right...and you still have a "half apple" showing...but now a 1/4" black stripe down the left side of the screen.
If someone is using this configuration adnhas figured out to get a goo display, I would appreciate it. I did have a Yamaha receiver before and it all appeared fine...until it's HDMI ports went bad.
Thanks

DSC-HX90V LCD panel shows images upside down

I bought the DSC-HX90V for my wife in late June, and we promptly took it on a three-week cruise and visit to Italy. The camera performed well, even in low light, and the telephoto worked phenomenally: Thanks to the 5-axis OIS, we were able to take 30X zoom images with exceptional clarity and no blurring (even when shooting distant ferries, containerships, etc. from the deck of a cruise ship). The viewfinder was a great convenience, and it was easier to use than we might have guessed (popping it up and flicking the back element of the finder out quickly became an instinctive process). But--and this is really weird--the camera developed a fluke after several days of use: the LCD began displaying images upside down, in both shooting and review modes. At first this happened sporadically, then it happened all the time, and finally--in the past few days--it reverted to displaying images correctly. Fortunately, there were two workarounds when the LCD was acting goofy: We could use use the viewfinder (which was immune from "upside down syndrome") or pull the bottom of the LCD panel out an eighth of an inch or so, which resulted in upside down giving way to right side up. I haven't yet called Sony's warranty service about this, but I'm guessing the problem is in the LCD's "selfie" position sensor. It would be great if it could be solved with a firmware update or system reset, but that's probably too much to hope for. In summary: Great camera, but with an annoying flaw that will need to be fixed.

Hello Imboden,
Sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue with your camera. Please try to reset the settings in the camera by pressing MENU then Setup then Setting Reset. You can also do a Power Reset by turning the camera off, removing the battery. Press and Hold the On/Off button for a minute and then release it and reinsert battery. Turn on the camera and test the LCD screen.
If the LCD panel still does not work properly, I would recommend sending the camera in to http://repair-camera.com/SonyRepairHome.aspx for evaluation and repairs.

Using iMovie 09, when downloading video fromm Samsung HMX- H106SN, The video image is stretched. Anyone have an idea for a fix?

Using iMovie 09, when downloading video from Samsung HMX- H106SN, the video image in iMovie is stretched. I see no obvious way to adjust this in iMovie. When played on HDTV directly from camera using HDMI, the video image is fine. Is this a compatibility issue? Anyone have an idea for a fix?
Thnx, olive.c

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. Unfortunately I'm just not getting the same quality/file size/performance that I'm getting from the traditional Apple TV export option.
I did however find what I think might even be a better solution for anyone using a mono wireless mic system like myself... use what's called a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm mono plug adapter. They're only like $5 and not only convert the audio so it comes out of both speakers, but this is probably a better option cause now in post production (iMovie) the other tracks like music etc... are still in stereo.
Here's a link to the adapter on Tiger Direct... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=93027 7&sku=C184-03174&srkey=3.5mm%20mono%20plug%20to%203.5mm%20stereo%20socket
Hope this helps!

DVI to VGA or S Video when connecting to a Samsung LN46a950 LCD TV

I have a first generation intel Mac mini. I just bought a Samsung LCD TV. I currently have my computer hooked up to the TV through the S-video jack via an adaptor. I have a optical audio out going to my receiver. Will I get a better picture if I get a DVI to VGA cable or does my s-video connection give me as good as I can get?
Thanks loads for your help.

Yes, you will get a better quality picture if you connect via VGA instead of S-video. While VGA isn't as good as it can get (it's analog, so a DVI or HDMI connection would be better if the TV has it), it's capable of delivering a much more crisp and color saturated image at higher resolutions than s-video.

G4 / Samsung 206BW LCD : stretched only, non extended not working

Hi,
I have a Samsung Syncmaster 206BW (22" wide, 1680*1050 native resolution) plugged on my MDD G4 with DVI (not working with VGA because the Radeon 9000 Pro only manages 4/3 modes in analog).
In the monitors panel settings in OSX (Tiger and Leopard) i see two modes for some resolutions : for example 1024*768 and 1024*768 (extended). However with the two modes the image is stretched to fit the screen. The first (not extented) should add black pixels to around the centered image, and it does'nt work.
So i can't use games in 1024*768 or other 4/3 low res (my G4 can't use the native resolution for games, too much resource heavy).
I tried turning on the monitor after the mac but it is the same, tu non extended mode is managed the same way as the extended mode (stretched).
Is there an utility for mac (as Catalyst Control Center on PCs) to force the monitor to accept unstretched mode ? There isn't any mode setting on the LCD settings. Some say this is a known problem with Samsung LCDs.
Should i return it and buy another LCD ? It this the same with Apple LCD displays ?
I use a Belkin 3m DVI-D wire on both sides.
Thank by advance.

Hi,
I can see and use the 1680*1050, in fact this is the only resolution mode that works ok since start. My problem is that i can't play any game in that resolution (99% mac games don't support wide, and even if this would work it would be recent games, and my Radeon 9000 Pro wouldn't support them - or it would be unplayable due to the high resolution leading to very poor fps).
I can't see the ratio settigns in DisplayConfigX (should be here as in the utility screenshot on the site), the only settings i can use are porch values and "Synchronisation" instead of "Extended" ("Manual" is not available). There is very few documentation for that utility and settings calculations seem very complex.
I see that on Windows users have to use Catalyst Control Center to switch from wide aspect to 4/3 aspect (that is 4/3 centered image with black areas surrounding it). This is the only way to play old games, or recent games with low resolution, and with correct aspect (for now the image is stretched to fit the whole screen, so not proportionnally, not 4/3).
Some say that the graphic card driver manages to add black pixels around the centered image in the pixels map sent through DVI to the screen, when non extended mode is selected. It seems there is a problem in OSX, or in the Radeon 9000 Pro driver, or in the card itself.
Can i be assured the problem can be solved from the computer side ? In the other cas i must return the LCD to the store in less than two weeks... but they don't have interesting 19" LCD to replace it (stretching would lead at least to a correct ration from 1204*768 to 1280*1024, and the stretching is not so bad on the Samsung, ration problem appart).
Should i add a new entry through DisplayConfigX : 1024*768 Synchronisation in addition to the 1024*768 Extended, to see if that work ?
Where did OSX retrieve the second mode, 1024*768 (that is non extended), that doesn't work (same result as 1024*768 (Extended)) ? I saw somewhere that there is a display config system file in System/Library (the one DisplayConfigX edits to add/modify listed modes, and the one we must delete if the screen doesn't work after making settings - in Single user mode or with an other screen, my old CRT for example).

Connecting MacBook to Samsung FullHD LCD TV (newbie)

I've gone Mac.
After going through 4 faulty PC notebooks in 5 under 5 months I got a store credit and used it to put towards a macBook Model: (MB466X/A) http://www.apple.com/au/macbook/specs.html (it's on laybuy at the moment but getting it out in afew weeks)
I want to be prepared so I have a few questions...
Now what I need to know is how can I connect it to my SAMSUNG LCD TV Series 6 32inch Model:(LA32A650) http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/detail/spec.dogroup=television&type=televisio n&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LA32A650A1HXXY&fullspec=F for use in my lounge room.
I am confused by the Mac forums saying, I need all these cables just to connect it. Would anyone be able to assist me at all?
As I have never used a Mac before but was playing with one in the store and thought this is the way to go after so much disappointment with Windows based notebooks.
many thanks in advance.
Jason

You will just need to pick up the correct adapted for your Macbook. If it is an aluminum model you will need the mini display port adapter. If it is the white model you will need the mini DVI adapter. To hook the computer up to your tv you will need to decide which port you will want to use (VGA or HDMI) then buy the correct cable to go from your tv to the adapter you purchased for the computer. Its a pretty simple setup you shouldn't have any issues.

Connecting G4 to new Samsung 40" LCD

my wife is bedridden and wants to use my old G4 (10.3.9) with dual 1.2 Ghz processors, Bus speed 100 Mhz, & 20" NVDA Display B. I was think of putting the screen on a hospital bed tray & getting a large lap top desk (with bean bag) to put the keyboard & mouse on, but she wants to connect to her new TV about 10-12 feet away. It has 1360 x 768 @ 60Hz. It also has S-Video2, PC, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2 connections. Is this possible? I am worried that if I could connect, the printing would be too small (as she likes to surf the web and also stream radio shows). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, George

Depending on your video card this can be quite easy. I currently have my MDD listed below hooked to a 23" older Cinema display through the ADC output. Then I have a 40" Samsung 4095DX (1920x1080) hooked to the DVI output of the same video card (currently Nvidia Geforce4 Titanium, though was ATI Radeon 9000 both work great), with a DVI to HDMI cable. There is some overscan but it doesn't bother me much using the Samy as a second monitor in extended desktop mode. Dont see why you couldn't use the Samy's VGA input as well (its probably less fussy). I played around with "Switchresx" trying to get rid of the overscan but its way too complicated. See this thread over on the AVS forum to learn more about Switchresx as well as the ins and outs of going DVI-I to HDMI (you will need to quit your day job to figure this stuff out, fun though);
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=8443587&&#post8443587
The AVS forum is a great resource for this stuff and there are a # of threads directly related to Samsung LCDs. The above thread though was most helpful to me. There is also a whole section on Mac home theater.
