Samsung Laptop Hdmi Monitor Keeps Switching Between

I recently also bought a Samsung UHD monitor from B & H to use with my laptop, and though the monitor includes an HDMI cable, a friend recommended my buying the Mini DisplayPort Adapter Cable for even higher quality than the HDMI. Not only was it inexpensive, it definitely makes a worthwhile difference in sharper and richer picture quality, and would highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to improve their monitor picture quality.

I fitted this to my mobile switching box to monitor an ATEM Television Studio switcher. It is the perfect solution. The loop-through on both the screen inputs and the LAN port makes these screens fit in very nicely in a small solution. The screens are bright (adjustable through network interface) and crisp. I connected my multi-view output on the one screen and program to the other and it helps a lot not having to lug around an external TV or monitor. I know it is not intended as an HDMI monitor and won't hold this against the product but having HDMI inputs would be nice so one can put an iMac mini in the rack and not need anything else.

I needed a larger, yet portable monitor for use with video switching and streaming. The Shinobi 7 has both HDMI and SDI inputs, and looping outputs, and fits my needs perfectly. In particular, I need a good multi-view monitor, without the size and weight of rack-mounted components. The Shinobi runs a very long time on NP-F batteries, or an AC power supply.

I have been using this for a month to display my laptop on an external HDMI monitor. Works great. Monitor pops on as soon as i plug it in.

Connected a Levono laptop to a Samsung monitor and it worked perfectly. Buy one!

I bought this to connect my aging Samsung monitor, which only has DVI and VGA inputs, to my new computer which only has DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. Since the monitor doesn't have a sound system in it, DisplayPort is the natural choice, and I use the HDMI of for my pen tablet. Cable works flawlessly with no problems in picture quality and has plenty of length to be able to stow the computer out of the way. It feels durable enough to last many years.

Samsung places this monitor in their Essentials lineup - a moniker usually reserved by vendors for very basic devices. And, indeed, many things about this monitor are basic. But nothing is actually bad or even poor. The picture is good. The brightness is good. It properly handles 50Hz (PAL framerate) video from my retro gaming scaler, so that's a very nice feature. As is typical with inexpensive monitors, the stand is bare-bones and places the monitor quite low to the desk, but the VESA mounting option lets me add a $20 monitor arm to solve that issue. The single HDMI input is a tad limiting, but at $4 per port for the HDMI licensing fee, I can understand why they did that. It's also not excessively light-weight that it threatens to topple over on my desk. The external power supply is a bit of an odd design, being an in-line brick with with the AC input at an angle. Just something to keep in mind for cable routing concerns. In all, a great monitor for the price. Highly recommended.

I normally wouldn't bother reviewing a little device like this, but it was the PERFECT solution to dock my new laptop to my HDMI monitor, my USB-A hub and DVD drive, and my ethernet-based network, while also providing a way to read SD and micro cards. BRILLIANT!

I needed a simple monitor to act as a second monitor to a laptop and this was such a great choice. It did not need extra cables because it already came with an HDMI which was exactly what I needed for the laptop. It's stable and I love adjustable height so I can get it just right for where my eyesight naturally lands. But my favorite part is that B&H is prompt and has the best prices. Shipping was perfect and I couldn't be happier. Thank you B&H.

Outstanding monitor! Great value for size and features. Easy setup. I run these dual ASUS 27in monitors connected to a high-end PC i7 laptop - one connected via HDMI, one connected by DisplayPort - seamless setup and performance. I have a third ASUS monitor identical to these connected to another PC i7 laptop (via HDMI) and they all perform flawlessly. Heavy graphics use for extended periods daily.
