The samsung rep I spoke with suggested plugging it directly into an outlet and not a surge protector.
The computer would still not detect the monitor, although when I originally bought the laptop, and had a fresh installation of Windows 7 to work with, it immediately detected it.
If you're connecting a PC to a TV, check out this post on how to use your TV as a computer monitor for gaming, videos, and more.
You might want to try to look in the TV Menu options to see if you need to turn off your TV speakers or enable the headphones jack somehow.
Alright, I will try that, I also did download the latest firmware update for the TV and installed it.

Not sure what is up with the component video, had the cable comapny out to switch the cables and check it out and they had no idea either.
Dell Support is not helping me at all, also, it is not my TV because my friend can connect his laptop fine to mine.
The problem lies in the fact the Comcast box is set up so that if you plug the HDMI cable into a non compliant port the picture is not passed but the sound is.
However, you're better off setting your computer's resolution to be the same as the TV's (presuming it doesn't set itself automatically, as it should).
The computer sees the tv as a second monitor but when I try to select the HDMI as input the menu says air TV but it is not highlighted.
If it doesn't work on Vista, the installer should detect the OS and warn the user instead of allowing the install and then crashing.
Them: well JF there are certain games that can be stored on a Microsoft console but not on the Alien ware and there are some games that can be stored on play station but not on the alienware.
PC, but no sound when they are hooked up to a TV (i had them hooked up to the headphone jack of the TV previously).
At this point we have to try this PC on another TV as well as another PC on this TV to see where the trouble is at.
So get your drivers from your card from the card maker then let's see you supply the product manual for this card so we can go over how to use it.

On the left side there is an output and the right side has an input and advertised as working with devices such as PS3.
Whenever I play games like Borderlands 2 or an older game Burnout Paradise I hear a buzzing noise coming from my external computer speakers plugged into audio output from monitor.
I'd still contact the makers to see what they say but it's been so long since I needed a splitter but where I shop is off the best sellers list.
XBOX on and everything showing on my tv, then just diconnect my xbox and connect my laptop as quick as i could, nope, still no luck.
This way, it will boot to HDMI, though a bit late, you won't see any windows startup screens, the first screen you will see is your login screen.
About three weeks ago, my computer was running and the connected TV was displaying the screen as usual.
An optical cable is necessary to allow the TV's smart features like Netflix to work, but the switching to AV4 on the Receiver on power up is not fixable.
As in, if you bought one of the first 4K TVs, generally released in 2013, it may not work with whatever dedicated 4K content comes out in the near future.
For the last five years, that is, since the day I got this laptop, I have connected the latter to a Panasonic Viera TV via the HDMI output on the laptop, to the first of three HDMI inputs on the TV.
Tonight, after connecting the other laptop and verifying that it indeed worked properly and the tv showed up in the sound dialog box, I disconnected it and then connected the problem computer.
In addition to the other configuration headache with Comcast supplied content and configuration through their X1 platform, this may not be viable for some.
Neither hardware nor software methods have worked so far, but if anyone out there has an idea of what to do, I would be extremely grateful to know about it.
OMG MAYBE IF YOU TOLD ME WHERE TO FIND MY PC INFO I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEND IT BUT CURRENTLY YOUR NOT HELPING!
Our other laptop connects fine, and when connected, if you hover the mouse over the speaker icon in the taskbar, it shows the tv's model number.
The result, unfortunately, is a potential hassle for those of us not trying to steal content, and just trying to set up a new TV.
Sleep mode, or do anything whatsoever when I left the room; that never would have caused a problem in the past, but I want to emphasize the bewildering nature of this problem.
The speakers work perfectly well with the TV without the cable box as well as with a DVD player connected to the TV and also works when I connect my cable box to the TV via SVideo and RCA audio cables.
Check your owner's manual to verify what your monitor's native resolution is (always send the native res, when possible), and to make sure it's capable of accepting that resolution with the cable you want to use.
