Samsung LN-S4051D HDMI Isssue

Hello, I purchased this tv over two years ago, along wtih the 4 year protection plan.  Recently, my sister bought a Sony Blu-Ray player and I went to hook it up to my TV.  I currently use both of the HDMI ports (A Samsung HTIB/XBOX 360) and they work on both connections.   I currently have the XBOX 360 hooked into the HDMI in on the HTIB.   I went to hook up the Blu-Ray player and I received a “Not Supported Mode” when I hooked them into both HDMI ports.  I have a newer Samsung LCD and the Blu-Ray player did the same thing.  I have even tried several different HDMI cables.
I did some research and saw the issue with the "handshake" problem.  I tried reseting both of them by turning the units off, unpluging the HDMI cords, unpluging the power cords and reconecting them.  I still had the issue.  Am I not doing it correctly, or is there an issue with my HDMI ports.  Thanks a bunch!

I have hooked up the Blu-Ray player through the two HDMI ports in my TV and the HDMI in on my HTIB.  I received the same message on my TV when I hooked them up through those three inputs.  I also used the HDMI cable currently used by my HTIB, two HDMI cables I have as spares and the HDMI cable that came with my sisters Blu-Ray player.  All four of those HDMI cables gave me the same "Not supported mode".  I used all four cables and plugged them into each of the three HDMI inputs that I have. 
I am wondering is it possible that the Samsung TV is just not playing nice with the Sony Blu-Ray?  Cause my HTIB is Samsung and I have had no problems with it and I have had no issues with my XBOX 360.

  • My latest MacMini is unable to detect my Samsung monitor via HDMI direct connect.

    Hi
    My MacMini (current model ie 1 week old) is unable to detect my Samsung monitor (it is about 6 months old and comes with HDMI port) via HDMI.
    However, it is possible if I were to use the HDMI/DVI converter that comes with the MacMini.
    FYI, I have tried swapping the HDMI cable but the result is still the same. I prefer to connect the the monitor directly to the MacMini without going thru the HDMI/DVI converter and appreciate any assistance.
    Thank you in advance

    Re: No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade  Sep 10, 2011 11:20 AM  (in response to
    Mac80)
    Hi Mac80     I have been struggling for the past couple weeks since I purchased my Mac Mini (a few weeks back) to connect to the Samsung B2430 LCD monitor directly via HDMI-HDMI but to no avail i.e. "no connection detected"     Fyi HDMI-DVI works, but I just wanted the HDMI-HDMI instead.     I did exactly what you advised i.e. pull out the HDMI cable from the Mac Mini; power up & power down the Mac Mini; reconnect the HDMI cable to the Mac Mini; power up again... Wooa...lla... for some strange reason & though somewhat "primitive":-)  ... It works. It can now detect my monitor at 1080p. I just shut down and switch it on again to make sure that it is not a fluke, it works!     Fyi I just acquired another Samsung LED 27" monitor SA550 (same problem as above inititially but got it working via the above approach)     Thanks alot Mac80 and really appreciate it!     jJpecke

  • Cannot connect Macbook Air to Samsung TV via HDMI

    Hello, I have been completely unable to get my Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011, running OS X 10.9.1) to connect to my new Samsung TV (UN32EH5000F)  I feel like I have tried everything I can think of, have spent hours now looking for a solution online.  I also consulted Samsung tech support, who were not helpful in that they insisted the problem is with my Macbook (because the HDMI port on the TV works when I hook up my DVD player).
    I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air to the TV using a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Compatible) to HDMI cable.  I have gotten the connection to work on my LG monitor (via the same HDMI cable), but this did require some switching back and forth between sources before it would appear as an external monitor on my Mac and doesn’t seem to work reliably.  Sometimes I can get the LG monitor to work as an external display over HDMI and sometimes I can’t. 
    I have also gotten the TV to work ONCE on my Macbook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008, running 10.9) by plugging the cable into the Mini DisplayPort while the computer was asleep.  I have not been able to replicate this in many tries since that first time.
    When I insert either end of the cable (either into the TV or the Macbook Air), the screen flashes as if recognizing that the cable is plugged in, but the TV always says "No Signal." 
    I have also tried:
    Every possible combination of plugging in cables
    Shutting down my Mac and the TV and rebooting
    Switching the source on my TV back and forth
    Plugging the HDMI cable into both ports on the TV
    Changing the name of the HDMI source on my TV (to available options like "PC", "DVI", "DVI PC", etc.)
    Battery power and AC adaptor
    Resetting the PRAM and the SMC
    Using the Option button in Display preferences to click “Detect Displays”
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Macbook Pro no longer connects to Samsung TV thru HDMI

    So my 13" MacBook Pro and Samsung HDTV i got back in feburaury were working perfectly together thru HDMI cable to a Dynex Mini DisplayPort, then all of a sudden they stopped. Now whenever I plug the two in together the MacBook turns blue ( as it did before) for only a short period of time and disappears, while the Samsung does nothing and continues to display "No Signal." I've been looking for answers everywhere from the web to my TV manual and even updated my computer, any ideas???? HELP!

    Hi Sean,
    The setting may have gone back to default after updating. Go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.

  • 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?

  • Samsung LN52A650 Audio - HDMI or Optical Cable

    Hello,
    I purchased the Samsung LN52A650 in December and just had it mounted. I keep hearing conflicting opinions in regards to whether or not I need a digital optical cable for the audio or will an hdmi cable suffice? I have a Denon AVR1909 receiver and will be hooking a PS3 to it as well as a 7.2 speaker system. Will my hdmi cable carry the audio that i need? Thanks very much.
    Sincerely,
    VM The Prince

    Actually, if you are wanting to use your PS3 as a BD player, and want to hear the HD audio codecs contained on BD movies, you have to use HDMI. Toslink won't carry the new codecs.

  • HT4644 How do I get an image on a Samsung TV via HDMI adapter and cable.  Currently get only a static imgae of desktop and gray grainy screen for everything else.

    How do get an image on a Samsung HD TV via HDMI adapter and cable?
    Currently get a static image of the desktop and then a grainy gray picture.

    If it's like mine, I used another post's advice. Go to system preferences, then display and click on "mirror". Then in system preferences go to sound and click on "HDMI".  I did this while I was connected to my Samsung TV and it worked then.

  • 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.

  • 2010 Mac Mini HDMI 1080p output to Samsung B750

    Hi all,
    I just got the new Mac Mini. My primary reason for getting it was because it had an HDMI output. I've now hooked it up to my Samsung LCD via HDMI to HDMI and it automatically detected it as 1080p. The image was pristine!
    However, the issue I am experiencing is quite irksome and basically defeats the purpose of having it as a HTPC. There is a severe delay between the movement of my mouse and the actual display of it on the screen. There is also audio/video syncing problems.
    This problem does not occur when I have it hooked up to my original monitor via miniDP, so I'm assuming it must be a TV or Mac display issue when outputting at 1080p. Is there a specific setting that I must do to either the Mac or the TV?

    I just bought a mac mini(2010) and had the same issue as coaster - mini to samsung P2270HD via HDMI gives a very bad picture quality. Took the mini back to the store and they reproduced the problem on the same monitor. Then the guy took a dvi cable and via HDMI-DVI adaptor connected it to the same monitor but on DVI input. Picture quality was fantastic.
    Now why did that happen? Same HDMI port but different input to Monitor

  • DVI/HDMI converter for a Samsung TV

    Curently I have an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB on my Mac Pro, and on FCPX I manage 3 monitors (two 24" and one 22" but all 1920X1080 resolution) and all is fine.
    Now, I was thinking to sustitute the 22" one with a 32" led television Samsung which has Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. So all should be fine. My doubt is: Samsung TV has HDMI in, so I have to go with a DVI/HDMI converter. Could this cause any problem??

    You can get a simple cable that is DVI on one end, and HDMI on the other.  I've used these several times in the past.

  • Mini late 2006 DVI HDMI Samsung LE26A457

    A couple of people on other forums, like me, are having trouble connecting our Mac Mini DVI to HDMI on Samsung screens.
    Is there a known issue? Is there a fix of some kind. It seems like the Mac Mini is very very picky about handshaking, whereas all other sources to the TV are not.
    The samsung has an HDMI that is recommends using for DVI-HDMI and it still gives me a black screen.

    Alan, you did get success at some point when you saw Snow Leopard on the TV. That was when your computer's System Preferences/Display preferences where likely set to "mirror.' You likely should not be using the 'mirror' setting so uncheck that option.
    Turn on the HDTV, plug in the HDMI connector from your computer.
    In the Display preferences, make sure your display on the computer is 1920x1200. The set the relationship of the two screens, your computer screen and your HDTV. For example drag the little display representing the TV to the right of the little display representing the computer.
    Make sure the menu bar is on the little screen representing your computer. You can drag the little menu bar to the correct screen.
    Go to the controls on the HDTV to select your desired video source, such as HDMI 1. You should have some signal detected.
    Start a HD movie running in a window on your computer screen and then drag the window to the right off the computer screen. It should appear on the HDTV. From your computer, select the option to run the movie "full screen". Voila!
    At least we hope so...

  • Ethernet over HDMI from ThinkPad E330 to Samsung TV

    Hello:
    I need to know if my lenovo ThinkPad E330 with HDMI 1.4 port can send ethernet over HDMI 1.4 EC cable to a new Samsung TV with HDMI 1.4a port, or vice versa. The TV has DNLA and other internet features.

    In principle, HDMI 1.4 includes EC in it's standard, but it's pretty uncommon AFAIK.

  • No HDMI Signal from MBP to Samsung HDTV

    I have a late 2013 MBP Retina and trying to hook up my laptop to my Samsung HDTV via HDMI.  I plug the cable in and nothing.  The Mac doesn't even see the input at all.  I have tried a couple different cables and same result.  I know the HDMI port works on the TV as I have my receiver running through it with no problem.  I also know the port on the MBP works because I use an HDMI monitor at my desk just fine.  I don't know what is going on, but this is not working at all.
    What gives?  Any help is appreciated.
