[QUOTE="gtpi, post: 69495, member: 869"] what i have found out so far. i chatted with a tech from dell/samsung and they both said i would need a converter or a router depending if i went wireless or hardwired. i bought a google chromecast and found out my laptop is too slow. chromecast currently supports only 2.4 ghz wifi. i tried to install it any way and i could not get it to work. when i tried connecting to my laptop wifi network using the tv alone i could not pick up my laptop network as a source on my tv. i did pick up the pc as a source with the chrome cast but it would not install any further. i have had a number of folks suggestion monoprice.com so i went to that web site. after chatting with a tech to make sure my choice would work i ended up ordering...... - 6102 20ft 22AWG CL2 High Speed HDMI® Cable With Ethernet - Black 1 $24.14 - 8079 USB 2.0 to HDMI® Display Adapter w/ Audio (1920 x 1080) 1 $43.55 total including shipping was $77.76. no tax. ;) i had 3 choices of cable to chose from.... -standard high speed cable which comes in a slimline profile. it is more flexible. -standard high speed cable with ethernet capability. for a buck more i went ahead and upgraded. it is a bit thicker than the standard high speed. i will add strain relief to protect the tv as the tv is on a stand. not wall mounted. -standard high speed with built in equalizer. the equalizer is a signal booster for longer runs of cable. it was not available in the 20 ft length that i purchase so i figured i didnt need it. in every case the samsung/dell/monoprice technician said that i wanted to hardwire for the best quality signal vs wireless. ill keep updating as i learn more.
