Samsung has started shipping a number of its new curved and flat-panel Smart TVs, and released prices with regard to other models that will ship within the coming months. The TVs, which start $949.99, come in ultra-high definition [3840 by 2160] promises.
The user user interface in the new Smart TVs will look not the same as TVs released in previous years. Samsung’s entire Smart TV line-up in 2015 is founded on Tizen, which brings TVs closer to mobile phones and Internet-based streaming content, the company said.
It’ll simply take the press of one button for users to stream video from a smartphone or tablet to the TV. The feature works with some Samsung smartphones as well as tablets, and users can continue using their mobile device as a movie streams to the TV. Content from a mobile device to TV will stream via Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth wireless technology will be used for device breakthrough.
Samsung has also said that the TVs--even when shut off--will have the ability to stream live broadcasts to mobile devices. Samsung limits these functions only to its mobile devices, but not other brands, something it has been doing with its past amusement products.
With Tizen OS, Samsung has additionally introduced a brand new Smart Hub interface through which users obtain access to streaming and other content. New entertainment options and custom content options as well available from the opening computer screen, and the Tizen OS will make it easier to find content.
