Samsung LED Monitor

I purchased a 27" Samsung LED Monitor for my father a few months back last year, and now when it comes on the screen flashes rapidly.  I tried adjusting settings and trying an HDMI cable but nothing worked.  I'd like to get it exchanged for another monitor but I have lost my receipt.  Would the store I purchased it from have a way to track past purchases?  If so, what would I need for that?

Hi Emeritus,
Any store should be able to look up your receipt using just your phone number, name, or Best Buy Reward Zone member number. There is one main situation where we will not have a record of your receipt, and that is if the purchase was with cash and there was no Best Buy Reward Zone card used. As long as that's not the case, we should be able to find it for you! (:

  • 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

    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.

  • Will all samsung led monitors work with macbook air?

    recommendations for best 27" led monitor ( not a gamer), watching movies, when not working ~$400?

    It is OK to use. See the quote below from Find the right power adapter and cord for your Mac notebook - Apple Support
    Power adapters for Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Apple notebook. You can use a higher wattage adapter without issue, but doing this won't make your computer charge faster or operate any differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power.

  • Samsung LED Monitor TA950 not working with Macbook pro

    I bought a Samsung TA950 Full HD LED 3D 27 inch monitor and trying to connect my MBP (early-mid 2009, does not support, MiniPort Audio). Connecting using MDP-DVI to HDMI to connect and MBP detects the monitor, I can see and change Display preferences. The monitor only flashes "no signal" when I disconnect the cables so something is happening...every so often my macbook pro display "flashes" momentarily as if it is recognizing a connection but a)nothing shows up in the display prefs after clicking "detect display" and b) nothing shows up on the external monitor. The monitor did worked and showed the MBP screen when I disconnect the cable, set the MBP display resolution to 1152 by 720, than connect the Miniport cable, the monitors flickers and shows the screen, and after a minute or 2, it goes black and goes in the loop of flickering and trying to detect the monitor

    Hi, I got the same monitor the other day and there should be no problem getting it to work.
    Use the DP to mini-DP cable supplied with the monitor.
    Make sure this cable is plugged into the correct input DP port in the back of the monitor (not the DP port for daisychaining).
    Make sure the DP input is selected in the inputs menu on screen.
    Plug mini-DP end of the cable into Mac
    Should work ...

  • Macbook Pro retina + Samsung LED 24" external monitor

    Hi all, I just bought Macbook Pro 13.3" Retina and im having some troubles.
    When I connect those two via VGA adapter I see some strange artifact effect on external monitor.
    I dont know hot to name that artifact but it is the same thing that you can see when you take your camera or smartphone and try to record old tv screen for example. You will see that parallel lines goes up or down. This effects is easy to notice when you put something with dark background on external monior (like Unity3D Pro IDE with dark skin in my case).
    The interesting things are:
    - when I switch external monitor from VGA adapter connection to HDMI-HDMI then everything works fine with no artifacts.
    - when I'm using VGA adapter and connect Macbook Pro to another external monitor (AOC 24" LCD) then everything works ok aswell.
    - when I take my Samsung LED monitor and connect it to another PC (Windows 8) with VGA everything works great.
    So I belive that this issue is related to all three of them (MacbookPro + Sasmung LED + VGA adapter) and I really dont know who to blame and what to do.
    Dose anyome have an idea how to solve this and what to do?]
    thanks

  • MBP 15' 2011 Mini display port to LED monitor/TV resolution issue

    Hello,
    I have just bought  a Mini Display - VGA adaptor which I am plugging to a Samsung 23' LED monitor via a VGA/DVI adaptor. I manage to get a clone view but unfortunately, the maximum resolution offered is 1650x1050 when my Samsung LED monitor has resolution of 1920x1080. Therefore, part of the screen remains black.
    ... also, when I plug the Mini display port to VGA to my Philips 47' VGA port, I got a message that there must be a problem with the connection and again, maximum resolution offered if 1440x10..  and therefore 20% of my TV screen space remains black.
    At last, when I launch Windows7 via bootcamp, this is even wost : when I select the max resolution (1440x10..), the pictures remains freezed on my TV and I can't even move the mouse (while the mouse is moving on the MBP screen...). Only coming back to a very small resolution 800x600 or so will enable me to get control of the win7 desktop on my TV...
    Thank you in advance for your help

    If you are using the monitor in Mirrored mode, its resolution setting will always be exactly the same as that of the built-in display. I presume you have the high-res 15" MBP display, with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. If that's true, I suspect your monitor is indeed in Mirrored mode, and that's why you can't set the monitor to its native 1920 x 1080 resolution. If you press Command+F1 to toggle the mnitor into Extended Desktop mode, you'll be able to set its resolution independently of the built-in display. Or if you use only the external monitor, with the MBP display closed, you'll be able to set the monitor's resolution to whatever it supports.

    Stacking one video adapter on top of another is usually a recipe for trouble. It's always best to keep things as simple as possible. Use one adapter that gets you from mini-Displayport to whatever input you want to use on the TV or monitor.

  • Apple Macbook Pro Retina with display issue Samsung LED

    Once I have plugged the HDMI cable from Macbook Pro to Samsung 24" LED Monitor, the display remains black. Doesn't seemed like the samsung monitor recognised the Apple Macbook Pro at all. I have reset the PRAM and troubleshoot it with Apple and meanwhile still waiting for answer from Apple. They have acknowledged of the problem but there is no solution. I erally need the second extended monitor for my design work. Bit ridiculus that the most powerful Apple system cannot even do the simplest thing. I am stuck now. Please help.

    I still find it wayyyyy too early to blame Apple so generally. This other "lot of users" has a lot of home-made problems, such as incompatible displays, adapters, etc.
    BTW, mind telling the exact display model number?
    And thanks for the response further above.

    Please note that the description of the monitor says you get a VGA cable with it. The HDMI adapter might not be what you need.  Verify the details!
    I cannot make any value judgements as to the quality of the display, but you should get a good HD TV like image,

  • Mac mini (mid 2011) to Samsung led tv via hdmi connection problem.

    Samsung led tv - UE32D5000
    Mac mini (mid 2011)
    On regular monitor (connected by hdmi to dvi cable) setup teamviewer
    Try to:
    1. Connect different hdmi cables - dose not work (on apple tv - both cables work)
    2. Connect hdmi cable to different hdmi ports.
    3. On tv change type of source - PC, PC-DVI and other.
    By teamviewer I watched what was going on the computer - Mac mini does not recognize tv like monitor by pressing 'seek monitor'.

    Aha! Similar problem here; Mini (Intel, Macmini2,1, the 2007 version with the larger HDI port not the smaller one)
    Problem seems to happen only with both HDMI and USB connected (USB only to use the built-in webcam on the monitor, an AOC V22+ (which I love, it's a very nice monitor; LED instead of fluorescent backlight).
    Sometimes it would suddenly switch to where the dock and menu bars and status bar were hidden (the desktop gets 'too big for the screen).
    Then I'd go to the Display settings and unselect "overscan"
    Then it'd be OK for a while, then switch to a big black space around the desktop window, lots of unused screen).
    Then I'd go to the Display settings and reselect "overscan" and it'd be Ok.
    For a while.
    There really ought not be a need to fiddle with 'overscan' at all -- since I'm not using this as a television. Mac OS 10.3.6 seems to mistakenly think the monitor is being used as a TV -- maybe when there's a video in a browser window?
    Not sure.
    Anyhow it becomes a rock-paper-scissors problem where I have to keep chasing the settings to undo whatever it changes to at random, Lather rinse repeat.
    Seems like it's only a problem for me when I have the USB cable also connected, to use the built-in webcam -- so I don't use that now.
    The AOC folks have been working hard on solving this.
    I just found this topic and have referred them here.
    They'll be glad to know it's not their problem, I guess.
    (does it happen on Apple brand displays too? I'm not sure)

  • External LED monitor.

    In India, which LED monitor works best with the Macbook air 11". I am looking at Samsung/LG/Viewsonic 27" models. My concern is related to the device drivers. They all have drivers for Windows but not for Apple. Is that a problem?

    That shouldn't be a problem, you don't have to install drivers for external monitors. 

  • MBP & New Samsung LED display resolution questions

    Hi all -
    Just got a new Samsung XL2370 LED display. I've got it hooked up to my new MBP: minidisplay to HDMI. I've got the Samsung at it's highest resolution: 1600x900. The MBP has the hi-res display at 1680x1050. The picture on the Samsung is not as sharp as the MBP, is that because of the unequalness of the resolutions? Would using a minidisplay to DVI look any different? I was thinking not since both HDMI and DVI are digital signals, but I thought I'd ask. The only monitor that seems to look identical to the MBP resolution is Apple's cinema displays, but I didn't want to spend that much on the external monitor.
    Thanks in advance!

    The problem is in your choice of using the HDMI connection. Use a VGA connection and you will be able to get the monitor's full resolution. Caution: I've had two cheap VGA adapters go out, but the Apple one (mini-display to VGA) does fine. I use a Samsung 2333HD monitor with my MBP (mid-2010). If I connect to the monitor with an HDMI connection (using a mini-display to HDMI adapter), the highest res on the monitor is 1600 x 900 instead of the monitor's full 1920 x 1080 I get with a VGA connection. By the way, the "Moshi" adapter (mini-display to HDMI) Apple sells does not solve the resolution problem--with it the monitor still gives only 1600 x 900, though it does carry audio. I think the problem is on the Apple side, since Apple has SnycMaster (which is for Samsung) settings in its Display prefs, but in the settings pane's resolution choices the list just tops out at 1600 x 900 when the connection is HDMI.

  • How to set up a samsung 2433LW monitor as a second monitor?

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE running on Windows 7 64bit.  I have one monitor attached, a HP 2311x connected using one of the two available DVI ports.  When I connect a second monitor, a Samsung 2433LW using the second DVI port, the second monitor is not recognised and has a black no input screen and the original HP monitor loses all shortcut icons and only the desktop background is visible.
    Please advise how I can get my second monitor to work.
    Thanks.

    Does the Samsung 2433LW monitor work by itself on the computer???
    It sounds like the Samsung is taking over as the primary display and the HP is becoming the secondary display. Try swapping the DVI cables in the back of the computer and see if  that helps. Here is a photo of the back of the original display card in your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me Desktop Computer;

  • Problems connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv

    Hi. I try to present some pictures and videos by connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv but my mac doesn't recognize the Tv (or it could be that my TV doesn't recognize the mac). What should I do?

    I have problems too with some projectors and the DVI--VGA adapter that came with my MBP. The projector is recognized by the computer, but does not show any signal.
    With the help of Stéphane Madrau, who has written the excellent tool SwitchResX, I found out that the projector reports that it takes digital input when I connect the MacBook Pro, but analog when I connect it to my 12" PBG4. From the DDC information (collected with SwitchResX):
    MacBook Pro, DVI--VGA:
    Input signal & sync:
    Digital
    PBG4, miniDVI--VGA:
    Input signal & sync:
    Analog input with: 0.700V / 0.300V
    Separate Sync
    Composite Sync
    Given that the VGA cable is analog only, I would think that the MBP tries (or rather, does) output digital signals only, which don't make it into the VGA cable. If I find a solution I will post it here.
    The clue was that the computer did not report any vertical scan frequencies for the external display, while it did so for a projector that worked.

  • Connecting MacBook to Samsung TV / Monitor

    I have a MacBook Pro version 10.6.5 and a Samsung TV / Monitor. I want to connect my Macbook to the Samsung TV so I can watch shows from my computer on my TV / Monitor.
    I have a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. I also have a cable that connects the VGA port to the PC input on my TV / Monitor. When I connect the two and put my TV settings on "PC", My desktop from my computer appears on the TV. But I can't get any other activity beyond this. Is there anything I can do or is this a compatibility issue? Please help.
    Thank you

    However, Still wondering why some Itunes shows plays and some don't...
    I am only going to guess here because I don't know the real answer. I wonder if it's because you went through VGA to get to your monitor. Normally, with a current widescreen flat monitor, the best port to go through is HDMI because it's a full digital signal. But the main reason I'm bringing it up is because HDMI also supports HDCP, which is content copy protection that Hollywood likes to use for its movies and shows. It is possible (again, I am really not sure) that since you're going through the analog VGA connection, iTunes is not able to verify that the monitor supports HDCP. It might if you went through the HDMI port instead, if your monitor has one.
