they aren't VGA cab;es for one, they are HD-15 cables, look at the manual it should tell u what kind of cable it is

the get that certain cable

or get an HDMI cable if u have one, they are better and still cheap

best way would be to get a dvi to hdmi converter and use hdmi.

otherwise any male to male "vga" cable will work

the kind that come with KVM switches etc.

Which plugs are you using?

HD-15 VGA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector
or
DVI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI_connector

If you are plugging the TV in to a different connector behind the computer, then you probably need to enable the display in Windows.

If it's the same connection, make sure you know how to use your TV correctly, I'd probably call Samsung phone support. (e.g. make sure its set to PC Input on the TV).

If you can give us cable information, like what plugs you have available on the TV and computer, that could help us a lot.

and make sure your pc is set to a resolution that your TV can display. many supposed 'HD' TVs are only 1024x768. so your default deaktop res may be too high for your tv to display.

good point, his TV does 1680xsomething, so if the PC was set to 1920x1280 it'd fail (should display a message tho?)

you would expect it to, but some dont.

my old 'hdtv' was 1366x768 (which i didnt realise, it was sold to me as being full HD), and the first time i connected up my PC it took me hours to realise why i was simply getting a black screen.
