TVs aren’t any good if they don’t have anything screening on them, and Samsung’s got that message loud and clear. There’s two big draw-cards for the 2013 range of Samsung TVs the first is a revamped and revitalised Smart Hub interface that’s smart enough to know what you want to watch, and the second is a content deal that should be a big value-add for sports fans.
The new Smart Hub layout,
in the My Apps screen.
The new Smart Hub looks very similar to the grid-style
layout of the apps on Apple’s iOS, or the app draw on Google’s Android
smartphone operating system. It’s no-nonsense: there’s a long line of
recommended apps up top, and a larger grid of all the apps you’ve already
installed. Navigation seems faster and smoother than in previous years likely
an advantage of the new TVs’ superior processing power.
The On TV screen of Smart Hub, which recommends you
shows that S-Recommendation has picked out.
Most users generally use their TVs mostly for
watching free-to-air digital TV, and Samsung is banking on this for its
S-Recommendation feature. What S-Recommendation does is keep track of what
you’ve watched, and of any content questions you might have asked, and pick out
shows that it thinks you might be interested in. It learns your preferences
each time you watch TV, so it’ll get more refined with time. It can also be
configured for individual users, tying in with face recognition where it’s
available. It’ll work with your free-to-air digital TV from when Samsung’s new
TVs hit the shelves, and should support the in-built Foxtel app by the end of
the year.
Samsung made the bold claim that its new TVs let Australian
viewers access 90 per cent of the entire world’s televised sport. A lot of that
comes from the comprehensive coverage of ESPN3 on the included Foxtel app,
which requires a subscription, and most of the other content is through a
service called LiveSport TV.
It’ll cost you around $60 per month, but it’s got a whole mess of sports
included from hockey to rugby.

This is my dream television .. I certainly would not rush to buy it ... the same as a combined television and computer i think .. -_-
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a lot of TV as will a lot of the future ...
and computers will be increasingly marginalized with portable computers and televisions like this ...
