Why won't my TCL tv recognize my macbook pro when i plug it in through my hdmi cable. It Works on other TV's

and my PC HDMI to TV connection works fine on the TCL TV. I am using a PNY Mac to HDMI converter cable. Perhaps an Apple branf converter cable works better?

Can't connect VIZIO smart TV to MacBook Air (13 inch early 2015 running Mojave) I can connect my MacBook Air to my older Samsung TV but cannot connect to my two newer VIZIO TVs. VIZIO says it is a Mac issue. I am using a Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable. I have a 13 inch, early 2015 MacBook Air running Mojave 10.14.5. Selecting DISPLAY from System Preferences does not show the VIZIO (it does show the Samsung). Holding the OPTION key down does show the "detect display" choice on the DISPLAY tab. However, clicking on the "detect display" does nothing. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone assist me?

macbook pro 2012 mid 13 connects with adaptor to magnavox but not samsung I was unable to connect my MacBook Pro 2012 mid 13 to my Samsung LED TV for either audio or video after hours of trying. I connected the MacBook Pro immediately to my Magnavox TV of the same age, easily setting up audio and video. I followed the instructions to the letter in both cases. Does Apple refuse its customers the right to connect with Samsung just because they are competitors? Has anyone else had this problem connecting Mac and Samsung? Can anyone give me advice how to connect my Macbook pro to the Samsung? I have the correct adaptor and HDMI cable. NOfred
