Samsung LN52B55 tv - no video-out slot

Aug 31, 2009 3:07AM PDT

Hi,
I recently bought the samsung LN52B55. Took my old tv to the other room and bought video sender to be able to watch the old tv in the other room. What i was surprised to see was that I couldn't find a video-out slot on the back of the tv. There is audio out but no video out. So becuase of that i'm not able to connect the video sender.
So I suppose there is no way to get video-out out of this tv?
Thanks.

im_0316,

Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to get the video out. You might split the signal before it goes into the television and run one of the splits into the sender and one into the television. Would that be a solution?

yeah i guess that's an idea. I could try to find a y-cable with rca connectors and see how that works. Hopefully i wont lose any quality by doing that.

im_0316,

The cable is split up numerous ways before it gets to your house. If you get a decent quality splitter, you'll likely notice no difference.
