They have every possible input. So many, heck if I will ever know what they are for.

The flat panel samsung will almost definitely have a 'monitor in' cable (the typical blue cable connection for most computer monitors). I'm a PC guy, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts the 'monitor out' cable will be on your macbook.

If you have a desktop somewhere in the house, just 'steal' the blue monitor cable, and you'll have your video straightened out almost immediately. All you'll have to do is select the correct video port using your TV remote, and you're gold for video.

Sound will still be a challenge, but using JBailey's suggestion will work.

The best connection will always be HDMI, but I wonder if your macbook has that port (only recently have computer makers started putting HDMI ports on laptops)
