Samsung 55" Smart TV

We just bought this TV last week and it has that "flashlight effect" in the upper left hand corner and I was told it will go away in a couple weeks? Does it really go away or do I need to get a new TV?

many edge lit LED TVs have this problem because of the disadvantages of having the lights around the edge of the picture as opposed to behind the screen.  It will not go away.  I suspect you are watching your TV in "dynamic mode".  This is the brightest mode which is only meant for showrooms to sell the TV.  Switch the picture mode to "standard" or "movie" which will dim the backlighting enough to where the flashlight (or edge glow) will not be as noticable.  This will also achieve more natural colors and deeper black levels, resulting in better overall contrast.  "dynamic" mode distorts colors and is too bright for most home environments.

  • I am battling to connect my MacBook Pro to my new Samsung D7000 Smart tv. Both the tv and the macbook are on the same wireless network. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    How do I connect my macbook pro to my samsung smart tv its the D7000 and has all share?

    My suggestion is to get the magic trackpad, magic keyboard and magic wand and connect a DVI to HDMI cable and use the MBP in clamshell (closed) mode. This will allow you to run 1080P into the TV and essentially use the Samsung as a HUGE monitor. At that point you can use the TV itself to display whatever you want off the laptop or simply switch inputs and stream stuff out of smarthub as usual. I tried to connect mine via allshare (by the way samsung has the free allshare download of software for the PC but not the mac.) and while i DID have some succes (under windws) i had to run a non secure connection and in the end the cool factor wasn't worth the hassle, to me anyway. It was sort of a "cool i did it" now why bother..... Hope this helps.

  • Samsung LED smart TV WiFi connection problems (router MI424WR)

    I am able to connect my Samsung C9000 55" LED smart TV to my home internet router (MI424WR) and am able to use the apps on the TV.  Then, out of nowhere the connection is lost.  The router is on the second floor of my home, and the TV is located in my basement, hanging on a wall.  The signal strength on the TV only shows 2 bars (out of 5), yet the playstation 3 that is also hooked up to that TV has 100% signal strength.  I've tried resetting the TV to factory default settings and started over.  Same thing happened.  Is a "booster" of some kind needed, even though the playstation gets 100% wireless connection?  Very confused and frustrated. I would greatly appreciate advice.  Thank you!

    Well it is obvious that the Playstation has better receive capabilities than the Samsung. A possible cheap & easy solution might be replacing the antenna on the MI-424WR (it has a replaceable antenna).  You could pick up a high-gain antenna with greater range at Radio Shack which might add just enough to solve your TV reception problem.

  • Samsung 2015 Smart TV

    Has anybody seen Spotify in the new Samsung TV'sPasi

    The new samsung uhd use tizen (based on linux) as OS for their smart tv. This means programns need to be recompiled for this OS. You have now multiple competiting OS for the new SmartTVs offered formthe different manufacturer: IIRC, WebOS for LG, FirefoxOS for Panasonic, and Tizen for Samsung. Tizen runs on smartwatches and alternative phones. Since they all provides SDKs, I think it is matter of time. Other interesting programs like Plex are missing as well. Interesting times.

  • Why flash player is lagging in full screen on Samsung 52" smart TV?

    Hello I have a Samsung Smart TV and I try to watch online stream football. All is fine until I press the full screen button. Going in full screen the quality of the picture changes and also starts lagging the stream. Latest version of flash player + latest version of chrome. Tried IE11 as well same thing. Internet connection is vie wi-fi = 150Mbps+ Any ideas?

    Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.
    In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.
    Thanks,

  • How can I make the Ipad II tether to my Samsung mini smart phone?

    I know how to tether as I have successfully tethered my Samsung mini to my Windows laptop but I get an error message on the ipad II saying it is unable to connect even though my phone is listed in the available networks and I have entered the correct password.
    I would appreciate a solution please.

    Samsung smartphones - or at least the Galaxy line - have a feature similar to the iPhone called a personal hot spot. If you activate that on your Samsung device it will appear as any other WiFi hotspot for your iPad. Connect to that and you will have Internet access for your iPad.

  • Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T with Linux?

    Hi,
    did anybody try out the above mentioned PC with Arch (or any other distribution)? Is everything supported out of the box (digitizer, docking, ...)?
    Basically I am searching for a Tablet/Keyboard-dock combination with good performance to replace my PDA/Tablet/Notebook(/and perhaps even PC). This Samsung seems to be the first one being able to fulfill all needs (small, long battery life, decent CPU, enough RAM/SSD, high resolution, touchscreen with Wacom digitizer, Intel GPU). The only missing things seems to be a trackpointer (the knob in the middle of f.ex. DELL keyboards ;-) ) and a full SD card slot. But I won't be picky for now...
    Thank you
    M

    1.I have read that samsung has made a low power USB in this device so its difficult to boot through USB.
    2.But if you are hackish, you can remove the SSD and  install any OS(linux) in another computer then plug your SSD back in to the ATIV.
    3.Try Ubuntu wubi in the windows 8.
    Do all these, you are certain to loose the warranty and your windows installation. There is a very good chance that samsung might have shipped some OEM proprietary components for enhanced touch functionality which are unsupported in the linux kernel.
    Finally, is this device worth all the pain?
    remotely related thread, but it might be useful for you

  • I am about to buy a new Smart TV....Panasonic Viera or a Samsung with Smart Hub.

    Running on Snow Leopard and I am about to upgrade...OS X Mountain Lion
    Which new TV will work alongside it best....ie Home Network etc
    Samsung say that their TV works with "Compatible Devices" but does not list them..... is there an issue, their phones are Android so will my Iphone work with their TV. Have asked the question at stores and get different Answers.
    Viera at least mentions Ipads and Iphones.

    If you plan to use the Apple TV, just about any TV with HDMI will work. I have a Samsung 46" EH6000F and it works with my Apple TV without any issues. Few TVs will directly network from an iTunes library, so if that's what you want to do, you'll need to look for a TV that offers that specific capability. Most connect to DLNA servers which iTunes is not, though can set one up on your computer and serve most iTunes music. No TV will be able to play movies or TV shows purchased from the iTunes Store; that will have to go through your Apple TV.
    Regards.

  • On the Mac Pro Desktop can you use a Samsung smart tv as the main and only monitor? Is there any reason one would not do that with a wireless keyboard?

    I have not purchased the Mac Pro yet when I do my thought is to use our Samsung 55" Smart tv as the main monitor along with a bluetooth apple keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    A TV set is not a Monitor.
    A TV set is intended for displaying moving pictures, and not stable, static pictures, with bright, saturated colors in adjacent areas on the screen without "bleeding", fine lines one pixel wide without vibration, or smooth-edged diagonals in fine text edges.
    The 55" width is beyond your ability to see the screen edges when sitting close. If you sit appropriately far away, the text will be too small to read.
    The Mac requires that any display respond to a query including display_name and capabilities. Many TV sets have a problem "paying attention" to the computer port and responding when queried, so the screen may often remain dark at startup and after sleep, requiring your intervention to show a picture.

  • Group Skype with Samsung Smart TV

    Is there any way to do group Skype or even purchase premium Skype through Samsung Smart TV?

    Our family recently "upgraded" from a VIZIO XVT373SV to a Samsung UN40H6400 "Smart TV."  We also purchased the Samsung VG-STC4000 Skype TV Camera.  
    As noted in the previous post (but no where in Samsung Support), Skype apparently only works through the Samsung TV speakers.
    This means that my hearing impaired, 94 year old father can no longer use his Audio-Out-Connected headphones to communicate with his grandchildren at college. Skype is now unusable and useless for him.
    There is, of course, no "echo issue" with headphones. Please ask your team to contact Samsung and enable at minimum the 3.5mm Audio Out with Skype.
    Thank you in advance for prompt resolution so my father can reconnect with his grandchildren.  

  • Video calling with Samsung smart TVs

    I've just bought a Samsung D6530 smart TV. Problem is that people I call can't activate their cameras so I can't see them and they can't see me. Could this be a firewall problem? There don't seem to be any settings on the TV that I can change for this?

    I have the same problem,I bought this state of the art Samsung D6530 in the hope that one of the advantages would be chatting to my friends and family in the comfort of the lounge on Skype but I am experiencing the following:- 
     I can connect, no problem.
     I can see myself in the window on the TV screen.
     I cannot see my friends and they cannot see mevebut we can hear each other
     I can call my TV from my laptop  and it works perfectly !!
     Differences... My laptop uses Vista, my friend in New York uses Mac, my family in  London use Windows.
     I went back to the store that supplied the TV and they said that they have heard of this problem and the way around it is check that the people you are calling have Skype 4.2 for windows or Skype 5.0 or higher for Mac.
         I would be interested in your comments.

  • Connection to Smart TV

    Hi there
    How can I connect my PC to my TV wirelessly?
    My PC is an HP TouchSmart 600.
    My TV is a Samsung 6500 Smart TV with wireless receptor.
    Thanks
    Pericles

    Hi Pericles1977,
    I understand you are trying to connect your Samsung Tv to your HP TouchSmart 600 Desktop wireless. If you connect the computer to your wireless router you should be able to add it in devices as a wireless device. Or you could connect the TV to the laptop via HDMI cable. I would suggest contact Samsung to perform this.
    Here is a link to connecting it to you computer via wireless.
