Can anybody tell me how I can connect my Macbook Pro to my Samsung TV. I would like to watch movies that I have stored on my Macbook, on my TV. I would really appreciate any ideas or experience other members may have had.
Got a tip for us?

How to: Connect a MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro to a TV
You can't connect wirelessly to the TV. You need some device that's plugged into it, such as another Mac or an ATV. Your MBP could then communicate wirelessly with that device.

Yeah, what the old geezer above me already said.
Does it have to be wirelessly?
Have you looked at the Apple TV?

The longest cord i was able to find/order was 6' and i also use my T.V. as a second monitor display sometimes.
I was searching the web for a solution to a Samsung problem when I found your post, not sure if you found a solution but here's what I've found.
You'll have some problems, Samsung are rather competitive with Apple and basically their approach is ****** Apple. The program you would need is the Samsung Allshare program but unfortunately Samsung doesn't make a Mac version.
The problem you have is that Samsung use a special version of DLNA server to connect to their tv's (as I found when I tried to connect my HP server to it) although over on the cnet forum's some users have had some success with TVMOBiLi (http://www.tvmobili.com)
