Samsung Smart TV vs Sony Internet TV

Hi, I'm going to get a new TV soon..
If you have one if the above, please do leave me a comment...
I'm interested on Getting a TV, probably a Samsung smart TV, 46" 600hz or 800hz model (L7 or L8).
Since Google TV is so amazing, I'd like to buy the separate box for my smart TV, my problem is will it work on smart TV?
Thanks!

A friend of mine has the Samsung Smart TV 46" LED 3D 800Hz, and it's simply amazing. He also got a pair of 3D glasses and the Samsung Galaxy 5 when he bought it, so you can use the 5" tablet as a remote, stream directly from the TV to the tab (if you're in another room for example) and so on. The only "downside" is that it doesn't look like a 46" since the bezel is almost nonexistent so i would go for the 55".
I haven't tested the Sony, so i can't really say if it's better, but the Samsung is the best i've seen.

I have a samsung 46inch smart led tv
and i love it, as for google tv, i think its a waste of money as the samsung smart tv has more apps to download and is much prettier interface.
I was not impressed by google tv, too boring and limited
If you really want to be able to stream internet to your tv get an hdmi cable or vga or what ever or get an hdmi wireless hp tv connect.
Then you wont have limitations of what sites and videos you can stream.
Just my 2 cents

As I remeber when it comes to TV now Samsung produces very good products. I myself know this, because I recently bought a new TV and it was Samsung, between 600 and 800MHz there is no difference in the image quality. AFAIK Google hasn't released info. about Google TV, but I'm not 100% sure .

Samsung.

I've got a Samsung LN52B630, and it's a great TV, especially the versatility of the built in media player.

Have the 400hz 55" one, simply amazing
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)

Check the word "motion"...
Yeah, taking my nexus s as a TV remote is cool...
Google TV (Sony) has 1000000:1 ratio, but I can't find any in Samsung. And Google TV module runs on android apps, I'll check this out in store tomorrow.

The 240w is the input power... 50/60hz.
The one we are saying is motion... 600hz or 800hz.check out Samsung site and you will know it.

Just buy a plasma or a dlp. No worries about refresh rates.

120hz/240hz used sparingly, adds depth and realism to the picture.
I'll never go back to a 60Hz TV.

Smart TV is quite Cool... should be very cool

Internet TV is cool but it would be very hard to play on a remote controller, they must give away some keyboard along with the tv also.

New TV with New Cable Connection
Hi,
I had just buy Sony flatron and enjoying it. One of my friend had suggest me for that and he also suggested for cable tv online. I opted cable tv online also and believe me it is realy very good.

We have a Samsung 42' LCD TV and the picture quality is excellent so i would choose Samsung.

Are you sure that's not a Plasma you've got there ?
600hz is a refresh rate for Plasma TV's. (not LED)
What is the model # of your Samsung ?

Thank you!!!
Thats what i was wondering about those refresh rates
My led is 120hz which is pretty damn good cause most devices hooked up to it can only do 60hz
Computer is an exception going up to 75hz

Low video quality via HDMI

I have just received original Samsung MiniUSB->HDMI cable for Note and... the video quality is terrible. Picture is choppy, pixelated and misaligned(it's cut on the top with blacks on bottom and sides).
I tried it with full hd Samsung lcd tv(36 inch) and Sony Bravia plasma tv (46 inch) with very same results.
For me it looks like the 720p video output that goes to the AMOLED display is very badly upscalled to [email protected]
Is there any configuration for HDMI output? Is it possible to turn off upscalling, so my tv could get 720p signal just as the phone screen receives it?

Does the TV's support 1080p and not only 720p?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Both TVs are full HD (1920x1080).

Umm are u sure u didnt buy the hdmi from ebay?? Cuz i know there are fake samsung hdmi selling cheap which is bad quality when outputting to your tv!! so make sure you bought the Genuine hdmi from samsung.

View problem with Multimedia Dock

Hi,
i got the multimedia dock for the sgn2, but, when i plug it on to my tv, there is a frame cuted around the desk.
Left, right, top and bottom are a little bit cuted.
Is there someone who have the same problem?
Could it be possible it's a problem with my tv?
My TV can not view full hd, he's only hd ready.
Thanks and best regards

Theres probably a setting on your tv to do with scaling and aspect ratio

I can't change the resolution or anything, when a device is connected via hdmi

It might be the tv not allowing you then....

ChromeCast Ultra doesn't work on my TV

Hi,
I have buy a chromecast ultra at the airport yesterday. I have try to connect it to my TV without success.
At the first boot, I have a black screen on my TV and my android phone with google home apps saying that their is an update for my Chromecast ultra.
Now, if I make a factory reset or press the reset button I get this :
- On the TV, I can see a blue screen with Chromecast Ultra and a yellow circle. After a few seconds, the chromecast seems reboot, the screen become black and the LED on the chromecast is blinking in white.
- I can configure the chromecast using google home apps or the chrome extension. After the configuration, the screen on the TV is always black and the LED on the chromecast ultra is white and fix.
You can see all of this on the video below :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9YcqL1nFiDaXzBBOWRGR3A2clk
I have only one HDMI port on the TV and I don't know the manufacturer. Devices like SOny PS3 work on my TV using HDMI. I have disconnect and reconnect all but it doesn't change anything.
Google say that some old TV are not compatible with their device. Can you help me to solve the problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Is your TV a 4K TV, the ultra is for 4K TVs?

My TV isn't 4k. It's an old TV.
I have buy the Ultra version because the store only have this version.

Yes it may be meant for 4K TVs but it should still display on lower resolutions as well.
My suggestion is to bring the unit back to where you bought it and let them test it on one of their monitors and see if they get screen.
It is very possible you just got a lemon unit.

I can't bring back the unit. I have buy it in an airport during holiday.
I test it on the new TV of a friend, I get a picture. I hope that the device can work on old TV or on TV that is not smart.
Is there a solution to make the ChromeCast Ultra compatible with my old TV ? Is there a configuration file that I can edit or an adaptator that I can put between the ChromeCast and my TV ?
Thanks,

The age of the TV doesn't matter...If it has an HDMI input then it should display in whatever resolution the TV supports.
Since it works on other TVs the only thing left is that the Input to the TV is bad.
Is there another input you can try it on?

Bad news, your TV is too old since it works on your friends TV.

No. I have only 1 HDMI port on the TV. The other input is SCART.

So this is a French TV? (which could explain your problem.)
What Airport did you buy this Chromecast?
I'm going to bet that you have a SECAM TV but the CCast may only supports NTSC or PAL.
If you bought this in the US it is possible it won't support a SECAM TV but the UK version might since PAL and SECAM are very similar.
It's a combination of things working against you here...Yes the TV is a bit old and not very forgiving in what signals it will accept. coupled with the fact that France, and the Former Soviet countries were the only ones who used the SECAM standard where most of Europe uses PAL and the rest of the world uses NTSC.
The cheapest solution is probably to buy a new TV as there is no guarantee that any CCast will work with that one.
You could probably buy a PAL adapter and convert the signal but that is likely to cost as much as a new TV will.

Thanks for your answer.
I don't know if my TV is Secam or Pal. I only use it with my Sony PS3.
I have buy the ChromeCast in Australia.

If it has SCART it is probably only SECAM....
The Aussie CCast is definitely PAL compatible.
I'm guessing your TV was one of the tweener models many people got stuck with in the time where SD was being phased out and Digital standards were not yet set.

Hello,
I have the same issue here and it seems that the chromecast is outputting at 1080p when ur TVs are only going up to 480p
Not nice to mention this risk on google side

Note 8 "Screencast"?

Says not optimized and it just doesn't work to mirror the screen to my Chromecast. Either with Screencast or Smart View.
I have the original Chromecast. Not the "Chromecast Ultra".
Will the Note 8 ONLY mirror the screen on the Ultra? Casting YouTube videos is fine.

I can cast using Smart View with a standard Chromecast just fine. USB-C > HDMI also works with my dongle

Well hell, I'm seeing the same thing. I've always seen that warning on my other phones but I just click "don't show again" and just continue with the cast and it works just fine. Now it's not. Huh... Wonder what's up with that.

Just wondering, are you using your phone in 1080 resolution? I have mine in 1440, and I wonder if that's why.

Okay, now I see the problem. It's the resolution option you choose. I was on WQHD+ (2960x1440) so I switched to FHD+ (2220x1080) and I was able to screen cast to my Chromecast like before. It's the same on the S8 Plus I got. Screen resolution needs to be set to FHD+ and lower in order to work.
Not the worst thing, the picture seems fine enough for me. Wonder if future updates to the Chromecast will support higher resolutions.

The original Chromecast won't ever be capable of more than 1080p resolution. The Chromecast Ultra offers 4K, though.
