In this example I have my Windows 7 laptop connected to a Samsung HDTV with an HDMI cable. ... Watch Netflix - Computer Displays Blank or Screen Saver on TV .... It seemed like better quality sound kept trying to break through and then go back to whatever ... I am guessing the HDMI cable will give much better quality.

If you laptop has a HDMI port,it can be connected via that port. If it doesn't you can connect with a PC to TV PC cable if your tv is PC compatible.

If your tv is not a newer smart tv with WiFi, then you will have to connect your laptop or computer to it via an HDMI cable. That is how we watch. Obie's on our older non-smart tv

To watch Netflix you need a (Netflix subscription of course) and a Smart TV with the Netflix app running or if you have an older TV you will need a streaming device like Amazon Fire TV http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDQ0RMG?ref_=ods_gw_d_h1_tv_montoya_dualUR
which plugs into your HDMI port to access Netflix via a wireless internet connection. The setup is pretty easy. Hope this is helpful.

This could be as simple as a defective HDMI cable. Have you tried connecting anything else with this cable? Have you tried another HDMI cable?

tried to replace the cable then making sure no loose connection.

You need to get an HDMI cable and connect it to one of the open HDMI spots on the TV.

You need to connect your PC to either your TV or your receiver. Also, if you have XBox, you can watch Netflix through it (thought I'd suggest, just in case).

Take your PC (or take a photo of your available outputs from your PC) and a photo of your available inputs (on your TV or receiver) to Best Buy or similar computer store. They can help you learn which connections you need.

Most likely you'll need a DVI to HDMI cable for video, and maybe a separate audio cable from your headphone connection on your PC to your TV (or receiver). You'll only need a separate cable for audio if your HDMI input on your TV does not support audio.

I am going through this same problem with my TV connecting Apple TV. I am checking now whether my old rear projection tv's HDMI input supports audio (same as yours). I've connected Apple TV to my rear projection TV. I have video, but no sound. Either my TV doesn't support HDMI audio, or I need to change a setting on the TV to enable that sound to work. If the TV does not support HDMI audio, I will need to connect Apple TV directly to my receiver via a digital optical cable for sound.

Hope this helps.
