| Is it like a projector, where you then have to press the "function key" then one of the "f keys" depending on which is the projector button! Normally looks like a square or i think its suppose to be a screen, well it is on my laptop!

| Press the function key on your laptop with a external monitor picture/lcd or something on it and then set the tv to the vga input and there we go! |

| On my tv (not a sumsung btw) you have a button on the remote to choose between things like tv, av, hdmi, usb, and pc. If you have something like that just click pc and it should all pop up on your screen
