Samsung smart tv wont recognize pc

[max_38]

So i have a Samsung UE50JU6800W and am trying to hook it up to my pc via HDMI, the hdmi is plugged into my graphics card and not the motherboard. Both ends of the cable detect the cable, my pc sees the tv and my tv sees the cable. But the tv just says no signal what ever i do. Nothing seems the help, so this is kind of my last resort to solving my issieu. Thanks in advance

I had the same problem and mine was a quick fix. I hope it works for you. Tv is the Samsung ks9000 (im secretly in love with this tv ) computer is a Alienware 18 laptop with SLI enabled (just so you know it didn’t matter for me).


Does your Samsung have the separate input box that plugs the one thick cable into the tv and all your devices plug into the connection box (forget name)? If you do like I do, turn off your Tv? And unplug the thick cable that connects
The tv to all its inputs. I waited 15’or so seconds then plugged the tv back in, then plug the media box back in.
This made my tv reset and recheck all my devices connected for every input and this time identified my computer. It shows a computer/PC
Icon and limits almost all of your visual options for the tv.

Hey I was having this issue and after trying different things for an hour or two I finally found a fix (at least for me.)

Plug your PC into a different monitor. Go to your graphics card display settings and type in a custom resolution (in my case it was 3840x2160), select 30hz, then make sure the test or apply button is selected. Unplug from the monitor and into the Samsung TV, press enter and the display should appear. All that's left is to apply the settings, change it back to 60hz and all should be hunky dory.

Hope this works for you guys.

Hey guys, im having this issue with an HP Envy m6 laptop. Unable to enter a custom resolution. Do you think using a VGA to HDMI cable would work?

Same case. Same problem, when Windows 10 pro starts
there is a message : no signal. I played with the bios of the pc motherboard. Tried mentioned ,everything and the results are none. I am swamping from Samsung smart 48 inch curved Ue48j6300... To LG tv to a monitor. Only the Samsung is retarded and the other two work perfect!!! I will keep trying different resolutions

I think this post and the first reply will be the information most of you are/were looking for:

Basically, the HDMI cable cannot handle the bandwidth. On your Samsung TV, disable a setting called HDMI UHD Colour:

The setting may be in General > External Device Manager, for newer firmware's.

And it should work. For people wanting to run HDMI cables to a new Samsung TV in 4K at 60 hz, you will have to wait for the next HDMI version release, which may support up to 30gbps instead of being limited to 18.

Thanks. Had same issue. I plugged in an HDMI cable labeled as "High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet" to my laptop and Samsung 4K Smart TV and it worked for me without any adjustments.

Seen this VGA to HDMI 4k converter on Amazon. My server is VGA. Figured the VGA card couldnt communicate with the Samsung UHD but this thread seems to say even people with HDMI port video cards are still having the same issue. This adapter cost a pretty penny. Im going to try adjusting my graphics card settings first before purchasing but this may be an option if the problem is indeed a 4k compatibility issue.

I am having the same issue. Funny enough it only happening on my samsung series 9 and not my series 6. Both new and 4k capable. At times i will get the signal to work correctly, other times it flashes between singnal and no signal, and other no signal at all.

Also. I am running this signal over hdmi extenders on cat 6.

So frustrating.

Yeah HDMI 2.0 cable did NOT help here, bought 150 euro cable (HDMI 2.0b , HDMI Premium certified , guranteed to work with 4K chroma 4:4:4 @ 60Hz) it even has LED indicators if signal goes through and yes, UHD led is lighted on cable, but alas, NO SIGNAL from Samsung "Smart" UHD TV 8000 series "Premium" panel. What a joke.

I see BIOS screen perfectly well and the login screen, but after login, computer reboots itself (only when connected to Samsung UHD, never otherwise)

Picture shows very well on my old HD plasma and Dell monitor.. no matter which cable i use with them. Just no way to work with Samsung "Smart" UHD TV (real smart this TV ffs...)

GFX card is 1080 Ti btw should work nicely. Tried to run DDU couple times and different Nvidia driver versions, no use.

Tried to use Club3D DP - HDMI adapter, no use

Tried to enable internal graphics if problem is Nvidia, and plug hdmi there : no use

Propably the only solution that i have not yet tested is the one marked as "solution" here : format my drive and install Win 8.1 again, which is ridiculous solution, but cant think of anything else besides that what i hadnt already tried...

I'm also expeiencing the same issue with my Samsung UN40MU6290. I have to plug the HDMI cable into my LG monitor when booting up the PC, then switch it over to the tv after the Login Screen is loaded. But if I Restart the PC, the tv goes to No Signal, and will not come back. So I switch it again to the LG monitor, wait for Login Screen, then switch it back again. It's a real hassle. I have all the latest cables and drivers and stuff (former Best Buy Employee, always get the latest crap at a discount) but none of that matters. I've tried multiple cables, at different lengths, at different resolutions... doesn't matter. Same routine. If I didn't have a second display to Hot Boot this damn thing, I wouldn't be able to use the Sammy at all.

No bueno, Samsung. You should consider a patch/update to the tv to resolve this, or consider a tradeout for one that doesn't flunk like these ones do.

Update/Additional info: Switching to a cable labeled as "High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet" solved the "no signal" issue for me. I also need to make sure my laptop is up first and the HDMI cable connected before turning on the TV Samsung UN40MU7000 (2017 Model), purchased in Jan. 2018. My laptop is an ASUS Notebook N550JXDS74T purchased in May. 2015 and has Window 10 installed.

Same trick here to partially solve the problem:
TV Samsung JU6800 4k 55''
Motherboard MSI B250M Bazooka
CPU Intel G4560
8GB Ram
Win 10 64 bit

I must turn on first the PC and then the TV. If I do the contrary I get "No signal"

How can we solve?

i5-4570 Haswell
MSI H87-G43
Samsung MU6290
8GB Ram
Windows 10 64 bit
Samsung UN40MU6290
MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GB

It was the HDMI cable for me too. I did upgrade my video card from a Asus GeForce GTX 650 2GB to a MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GB (marginal upgrade), and then, after that failed to a work, went to Walmart and bought the 6' GE high speed HDMI cable with ethernet. That worked. I now have the monitor at 4K with 4:4:4 at 60Hz.
