Windows 10: Help With TV Connection Name

Anyone know what kind of connection this is (sorry for the poor quality).

It says its a LAN connection but a standard CAT 5 cable won't fit, i'm guessing you need an adapter or something but what kind *Smile

It's a Samsung UE40C8000XK

Connecting Samsung Smart TV with Microsoft Surface Pro

Hi,

I am using mi Microsoft Surface Pro to connect to my Samsung Smart TV.

I changes source to Screen Mirroring on my Smart TV and clicked on connect on my Surface after which it displays my TV name.

When I click on the TV name, it shows connecting on both my TV and my Surface Pro but after some time it says "Couldn't Connect"

I use my TV to connect with my mobile phone with same option but its not working for Surface Pro.

How can I solve this issue ?

 

Unable to connect to Smart TV from my Lumia 830 mobileHi,

Hi,

I am unable to connect to my smart LG TV from my Lumia 830 photos. I use to try with the option "connect to wireless display" from my mobile and WI-FI DIRECT from the TV. My mobile device shows in the TV screen and TV name shows in my mobile device but when
I try to connect both always it is a failure. In mobile i can see the message that TV is not responding. Please help me out whether I can connect to my LG TV from Lumia 830 as I am able connect to same TV from another Android mobile.

After having searched for ages then coming here, i just refined my search slightly and come across this...

SAMSUNG OPTICAL LAN BN39-01154L

So i'm guessing that's what that connection is

 

On page 28 of this owner's manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...01Eng-0402.pdf
There's a LAN adapter shown that's supposed to have come with the TV.

 

yeah, it's a samsung proprietary LAN adapter.

 

On page 4 of that same manual, it says that the LAN adapter should be included with the TV.

 

Hi there

Thanks for the info --remind me NOT to get a Samsung TV -- what's wrong with a STANDARD LAN connector -- my Panasonic has one AND internal WIFI. Why on earth is Sansung using that type of adapter and not a standard LAN socket.

I think companies should be BARRED from making all these stupid type of connectors --unless there's a reason for it -- and as current LAN can work at speeds of far faster than any ISP is capable of delivering there's 100% no need to change the standard yet.!

What on earth was Samsung doing. I've no objection to the Mini-HDMI connector as per Surface 3 pro - simply because the device is smaller and needs a smaller space --but a decently sized TV having problems with standard LAN !!!!!!

Cheers for all the replies.

@jimbo45 i think this connection was required due to how thin the TV is (in fairness to Samsung, the cable does come supplied).

The main reason for looking it up was because a friend has inherited this TV and hasn't got that adapter so needed to find out what he needed really.
