“Would I be able to "push" and display a PowerPoint presentation from a Windows 7 laptop by using this adapter on a D6000 series TV? I have a project in a corporate environment where a user would like to regularly post updated powerpoint presentations (to use as digital signage). If I started the presentation on the desktop/laptop, would this adapter "see" that presentation and display it on the screen? The TV and PC would be on a secured wifi connection. Does this device some with documentation on how to set that up?”

Since the Linkstick is designed to only facilitate a network connection to Samsung Devices that already offer either network connectivity or Internet@TV and Samsung Apps, it will not have the ability to make the TV into a wireless monitor. (additionally, the Samsung TVs will not have the ability to directly process any Microsoft Office documents) That said, there are three ways to connect your PC or Mac to your Samsung TV for monitor functionality: monitor cable, HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to VGA/DVI/Displayport. Please note, in the PC's operating system, you will need to set the display settings to either clone or extended view and set the PC’s resolution to match that of the maximum resolution of the TV in order to view your PC's desktop on the TV. Although all of these connections are easy to hook up, the PC monitor cable is the most common. To connect it this way, just use a standard PC monitor cable to connect from the monitor out of your PC to the PC input on the TV. Some adjustments to the PC's resolution is required. If your PC offer HDMI out, I would highly suggest using this connection, since it is a basic plug-n-play connection (meaning almost no adjustment is needed on the TV or PC). HDMI to VGA/DVI/Displayport is almost the same as straight HDMI, but in this case, you will want to connect the DVI end of the cable to the PC (if available) and the HDMI into the TV. This is also considered a plug-n-play connection. Unless otherwise specified by your PC manufacturer, you will need to connect the PC's audio to the TV with a separate cable (3.5mm jack cable from the PC’s audio output to the TV’s DVI/HDMI Audio input), since most PCs do not support audio over HDMI, VGA or DVI.
