  • 1: The official Android app didn’t work?
    That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

    2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

    3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.


  • I can’t speak for all Samsung TVs, but I have the Q9FN65 from a few years ago and it has been offline almost since day one.
    Never had any nagging at all and all the pre-installed crap could be removed.

    My biggest gripe with them is the lack of Dolby Vision. Samsung wants people to use HDR10+ which is their own version, but it’s not widely supported. Otherwise it’s snappy and functions well.





  • Mostly because I figured you needed more help than a link to some guide, which I assumed you must have already attempted before asking here.

    I see where your reply is coming from, but what I did might not be at all relevant to your case, depending on your setup. That’s why there are specific guides for different use-cases.

    Best of luck mate.












  • Just to tack on and expand on your first point: LED monitors are normally LCD displays but with LED backligthing, allowing for more zone control and it is more efficient both with space and energy usage.

    For TV’s, burn in is becomming less of an issue due to software in newer models and improvements in the tech. The same goes for phones. Older OLED phones like the Pixel 2 I think, had issues with burn-in.

    Rtings is actually doing a long term torture test as we write. They have also included some PC monitors for good meassure.

    In general, the reason why it’s still not perfect for PC is that all office/daily use retains a static image on a large portion on your screen. Imagine a browser, Excel or program with a big static toolbar. This will cause issues even with pixel shift and refresh cycles. You can only move pixels so much without it affecting your experience.

    If you were to only game or watch movies on it, it would likely never show signs of burn-in.

    Hope this made sense
