    Can my Samsung Blu-Ray player play PC content on my Samsung TV?

    First, yes I'm a newbie - a rank, ignorant newbie with minimal computer technology intelligence - which is why I looked for help on Toms Hardware. Second, why yes I read the manual before I posted, but because I'm a newbie and stupid I found it very difficult to understand. Third, I first...

    Can my Samsung Blu-Ray player play PC content on my Samsung TV?

    Yes, ideally I do mean screen mirroring I guess. The point would be to watch on the TV video that is playing on my PC, or from the TV scroll thru pictures stored on my PC. So your answer is no. I do have a solution I'm told will work - connecting my PC to my TV with HDMI cable and controlling...

    Can my Samsung Blu-Ray player play PC content on my Samsung TV?

    Samsung Series 5300 plasma TV; not a smart TV. Samsung BD-H5900 Blu-Ray player with HDMI connection to TV and wireless connection to my network. My manual seems to indicate the Blu-Ray can play content from the PC on my TV if properly setup (All Share software?), but Samsung chat says no. Is...

    Puzzling issue connecting TV to PC

    The SYBA VGA Convertor that I've been using has both a USB plug for power and an audio plug. So I remove my PC speaker plug and replace with the Convertor audio plug and I get sound on my TV along with video. So yes, I have sound. However, your proposed audio switcher is nifty, as are your other...

    Puzzling issue connecting TV to PC

    Whoa! Let's talk about the wireless Keyboard/Touchpad. This sounds like the perfect solution. I have a router on my PC so I'm already Wi-Fi functional, but do I understand that I don't even need a router for this device? And the direct connection from PC VGA output to Convertor to HDMI cable to...

    Puzzling issue connecting TV to PC

    Yes, I'd like to be able to view on my TV things like Youtube videos, my pictures, and movies that are online. So I'm open to your suggestions. Remembering of course that I need to have a PC monitor display so I can control what I see on the TV. And how do I get both displays if I have only one...

    Puzzling issue connecting TV to PC

    I want to mirror my PC monitor on my Samsung F series plasma TV. If I connect the PC VGA monitor output thru a VGA to HDMI converter and run HDMI cable to the TV, the PC mirrors perfectly on the TV. Ditto if I connect one leg of a passive Y-splitter cable between the PC VGA output and the TV...
