Tizen what is it on TV

The Tizen operating system provides synchronization for Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth. Samsung lets you share audio and video content from compatible smartphones and tablets using Wi-Fi Direct or Bluetooth via the SmartView app. You can also use your smartphone to control the device, including navigating menus and browsing the web.

Tizen - what is it?

If you have a compatible device (Samsung lists its branded Android smartphones and tablets) that you're using, the TV will automatically search for and block it from direct streaming or sharing. Additionally, with direct screen and mobile access, viewers can watch live TV content on their mobile device anywhere within their home network coverage. As an added bonus, the device should not be left on.

In addition to Tizen navigation using traditional button-and-click remote control features, the devices also support voice interaction through voice-activated remote controls.

REFERENCE! Some TVs also provide the ability to control other smart home devices using compatible smartphones and tablets through the Smart Things app.

Which TVs have tizen

Samsung first included Tizen in its devices in 2015. Firmware updates have added new features, so there may be some changes to the appearance and functionality of the Smart Hub display that you may see on their 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 models, with more options possible in the future.

Tizen has allowed Samsung to improve the look and navigation of its Smart Hub OSD system. You can use either the on-display interface or the remote control to access a more traditional menu layout for more comprehensive operation or parameter settings.

REFERENCE! If you want a clear and pleasant interface in your TV, support for voice and gesture control, the ability to connect your smartphone to the TV, as well as a wide selection of applications and games, then TVs with Tizen can help you with this.

If there is no particular need for these functions, then you can refrain from buying TVs with Tizen for now.
