Connecting Roku Express to a Samsung Smart TV

I have an 8 year old Samsung Smart TV that does not support many streaming channels. I'd like to get a Roku Express, but am wondering if an HDMI to HDMI cable will work. The Samsung has a USB connection. Is there an adapter that would work?

  • HDMI to HDMI is the default.  If you mean HDMI to USB - no.  Then again, I think it's very unlikely that an 8-year-old TV wouldn't have an HDMI port (or 2, or 3 or 4).  Do you have the model number?

    My Roku is connected to a 11-12 year-old Samsung "dumb TV".    This TV has HDMI and USB ports on the side, as well as more HDMI ports on the back, so look all around...
