Connect computer to LG 42LH40 to play netflix

Blu-ray players stream the same HD video as other Netflix-ready devices. Netflix streaming video works with several Blu-ray player brands -- including LG, Magnavox, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba and others -- and any Blu-ray device plays Blu-ray discs from Netflix.

Hello.
To stream on Netflix your Netflix account has to be set up to stream.
For Netlix user's your account would be either streaming OR playing DVDs, not both.
If your Netflix is set up to stream, you may need to download Microsoft Silverlight which is free and availble from Microsoft.
Be sure to download the latest version of Silverlight.

You will also need to open Netflix.com and create an account on your computer.

Close netflix and reopen after creating account then login.
Then check your account for streaming or DVD playing.

Depending on why kind of TV you have to watch a movie you will need to connect to the TV with an HDMI cable.

Sounds like a motherboard fault. Contact the authorized service center for LG. It will be best. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Hi there,

Fristly, you need to determine if your tv supports 3.5mm PC audio input or RCA PC audio (Red/White) input.

To connect audio from your computer to your tv, you will need a cable with 3.5mm stereo plug on one end (this connects to your computer's headphone socket/speaker output) and either a 3.5mm plug or 2 x RCA (Red/White) plugs - depending on your tv input.


Cheers,

There are many options here. Most HDTVs today have analog audio and digital audio output jacks. You can use RCA audio cables or a 3.5mm connector, whichever your HDTV has to connect the analog stereo output of the TV to any number of devices such as a stereo/amp which has speakers attached. You could also connect an FM transmitter to the TV and send the audio wirelessly to a nearby FM radio, boombox, portable etc. Most HDTVs today have a digital audio output, typically optical, which uses a digital audio cable ($15) to connect to a surround sound receiver. You can also connect the stereo analog output jack on the TV to a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver speaker combo to get wireless audio outside, in a swimming pool and so forth, all around the house using wireless speakers. These setups usually cost around $150 or so. Look for the jack on the TV labeled AUDIO OUT and see if it is the white and red 2 jack ports or the smaller 3.5mm single jack port. Adapter cables are available at Radio Shack for around $10 should you need them. So you see the options are almost endless.

You do need an active internet connection connected to the TV and a NetFlix account to connect to NetFlix.

To setup an NetFlix account, you have to do that from your computer.

Some of the LG broadband TV's that had the same problem required a new main board. This should be a warranty issue and no cost to you for an in home repair.

I suggest you call LG for service on the TV. When you call be sure to tell them you are not with the TV. They will have you on the phone trying to trouble shoot the issue---could take almost 30 minutes. Be sure to have the complete model number (example 42LC2D UA.UASLLJR) and the complete s/r number (example 912KMN003408) before you call LG for service.

LG service number is 800-243-0000.

Good luck and I hope I have helped you.

No, it would be best to call an engineer so that he can check which version of software is currently running in the TV. If you still have sound when the picture cuts off then there could be a problem with the inverter. If the whole thing is swiching off then the problem maybe power supply or main board. These tests would need to be investigated.

Check ur brightness,lower or higher.Try video reset in dvd playing mode.

There might be an off on switch under the lower right hand corner of the set. (feel for it) and switch it.

TRY TO RUN COLORED AV COMPONENT CABLES FROM THE STEREO TO THE TVS HEADSET JACK. IF COMPATIBLE? THIS IS THE STANDARD AUDIO CONNECTION FOR HOME THEATRE SYSTEMS.
