PC connection through HDMI: Did anyone experience the same problem?

The problem is one reason why some people do not like this tv. Using certain connections(PC mostly), you will experience overscan. This is used to keep tv looking crisp around the edges where it can get kinda nasty. The problem is that the overscan is about 2-3% of the screen and when you use a PC you will notice that it makes this very difficult. I do not use a PC but my xbox has the same problem and using xbox media center some of the buttons to click on are partially off the screen. If you want to see a whole thread on this take a look at avs forum.(It is a big thread concerning the tv) We hope to get a firmware upgrade to alleviate this. There is no way to turn it off. On Sony tv's this is an option in the menu.

I used an HDMI cable but the monitor conection is straight up from the RCA jacks and directly left of the HDMI.

Funny, same thing just happened to me. I was thinking maybe HDMI cable went bad and going to replace it 1st.

I have not had any issue with mine at all. I think if you use a good quality HDMI you should be fine.

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.

My choice of connection was to use the hdmi port between the nvidia card and the monitor. There was some confusion as the monitor was looking at hmdi input 1 and I was connected to input 2. that was quickly solved by moving cable to hmdi 1. I would suggest clearly identifying the location of the input port and guide the monitor through its set-up menu to that port. Good luck... Paul

It was happening to me aswell when I would use hdmi to display my pc display but when I would use vga it would correct itself and display the right way

You could if you use the VGA cable or an HDMI cable to an alternate device. If connecting one of those cables doesn't automatically project, you may need to use the keyboard shortcut to push the signal (try the Windows Button + P).

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

Possibly a bad CPU but could also be a bad motherboard on the DS81. On my PC I use the HDMI output and when I hooked up the cable the video worked fine with no extra setup steps. I have not tested the DVI output.

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

That is how my computer is setup. Check to make sure that you have HDMI plugs on both devices.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

No. Sounds like a problem with your video card or HDMI cable. First try using a "high speed" shielded HDMI cable, like the original that came with the monitor.

Turn off the computer, plug the HDMI cable into both the computer and the TV, Turn on the computer.If you still have a problem, try testing the cable on something else like a PS3 or Xbox

I'm having similar issues with the hdmi. My Acer tablet and my ps3 won't connect properly for some reason.

I would say so. Try rebooting your computer after it's hooked up. Also make sure your audio is set to play out the HDMI port.
