Can I watch Old CBS shows like CSI if I run a HDMI from my computer direct to my TV? Will there be Sound?

Yes, your computer will ask you if you want to configure settings but 9/10 times it will do it automatically

I have basic cable, so I mostly watch Comedy Central and MSNBC via the HDMI cable from my laptop over wifi, but yes, there is sound and video through the hdmi cable.

It doesn't matter what the program you want to watch. As log as your computer has an HDMI port, as well as your HDMI, (and assuming they are both working fine), the HDMI cable will transmit the image on your computer on your tv and also the sound.

I tried connecting my Chromecast (hdmi output) to the cable using a female/female hdmi adapter. The picture came through great. I could not get the sound portion of the hdmi signal to play through my TV. In the past I have connected my Kindle Fire HD to the cable and most of the time the picture and sound played through the TV. When the sound didn't, I plugged the 3.5 plug into the Kindle 's earphone jack. The combination of the TV with DIV input and the cable with a hdmi connector worked. You might have to try external speakers (e.g. computer external speakers.)

Yes. I have my computer via the hdmi output connected to my 42" TV. Sound and picture is great.

This adapter will allow one to use a "regular" HDMI cable between the computer DVI output and the TV HDMI input. Note: the computer DVI output only contains video and therefore no sound will be carried via your HDMI cable.

I believe what you need is an HDMI Cable and you can use it only if your computer has an HDMI port.

Yes, the system has a TV Arc setting which allow audio from television to play through system. TV arc doesn't work with all HDMI cables. If TV Arc doesn't work with one cable try another one.

Don't know, never tried this. My understanding is that the HDMI port to computer or TV is for video playback only.

Yes, you can... Make sure your cable box is hocked up to the VCR. Then you are good to go.

You would need a video capture card or a video card with a video in, such as the old all in wonders....... I doubt that your computer has this. If you do tho it should work just like on the tv.

Provided you have a HMDI,DVI,or lighting port on your computer, yes. You may need an adapter cable, but virtually any computer in the last couple decades will be able output a signal the TV will use.

Sari, It's best to connect your computer directly to the television with the HDMI cable. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

Yes. You will only get video without the sound through the cable That is the difference between DVI and HDMI.

If your cable box is HDMI compatible - then use an HDMI cable - best quality picture and sound
