[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 588627, member: 24160"] The resolution of the display on HDTV's have basically little to do with what input resolutions they will accept. The maximum input resolution that particular Samsung will accept for PC is 1360 x 768 and only on the vga (aka dsub15) input. It will not accept PC input on the HDMI. This is a limitation by Samsung on this port on their TV. Not sure what it means, probably that it does not provide the necessary handshake required by computers to recognize an external display. Sorry, but bottom line, you're not going to get any better connection than you have now. All of the above is in the users guide for your TV. I have already experimented at some length using VGA and DVI to HDMI connecting Mac's to HDTV display's. Several of them. I have found no great difference in the quality of the 2 connections. They both bite the bullit compared to connecting an MS or Linux OS to the same display. It has to do with the way OS X displays fonts. It's fine for watching movies from your Mac, but for reading, not happenin'. And since you have no DVI connection, that's out. [/QUOTE]
