I'm trying to connect my Toshiba lap-top to my Samsung television. I was told that I need a Samsung computer to make this connection. Is that true?

No - any computer with HDMI will be able to make the connection. If you have VGA input on the TV, you can connect virtually anything.

Do you have an HDMI output connection?
I ran an HDMI cable from my desktop to one of these switches.

Mine is a 3 port, but they work the same. I have the computer, cable box, and DVD player connected to it. A short cable connects the box to the TV HDMI in.
Some of these switches come with a wall wart PS, but you don't need it. The box powers up from the HDMI cable.
