yes, that's true. the Galaxy tab only acts as a 'remote control'.
I have a Samsung smart tv.. but the streaming is still not fantastic if using wifi. Mine is 16mbps.. waiting to upgrade my broadband to fibre.. hopefully it will be better.
Tried connecting direct using ethernet also.. but somehow the internet connection can't work using Ethernet cables, no time to explore yet

connect you notebook/pc to your current LCD/Plasma TV…
performance is better than S…TV…, because of faster CPU…
don’t need to get those high end model… -
I just bought an Android TV Box. It's just like using a 'tab' on ordinary TV with HDMI input. It's quite fun and useful to certain extend. Still trying to get a suitable camera to use Skype on it.

Hi
In the window 8 software there is a function which allow parents to set the time limit and time slot for the child to use pc. Does anyone know is there any TV model has this kind of function to limit the child watching too much of TV programme. So far I know only have password lock for access to TV but does not have time slot setting. -

No TV I'm aware of has such features, but I can see them coming soon.Hi

A rather rudimentary solution may be to use to timer-based main switch. Program it to turn on the power only in the evening. -
Hope someone can help me with this.
Want to give my brother a TV for his new house.
Saw the floor plan that shows from sofa to TV - distance is about 5.2 mtrs.
Originally wanted to buy him a 60 inch but now think have to ‘upsize’ to 70".
Went to Best Denki who promoted Sony to me. 70" smart tv at about $5600.
Went to Courts who promoted to me Samsung (only 75" at about $11,000).
I asked Courts why such a difference and salesman said "Samsung has 840 Hz while Sony is only 240 Hz".
So I came back to do research and the conclusion is more towards our eyes can’t really tell the difference between the difference of the 840 Hz and 240 HZ and some wrote about standard needed actually is 60 Hz).
That really gets me confused coz Courts even said if smaller size TV, running on 240 Hz maybe ok but image will blur if it hits 70" and above.
I am totally lost.
Anyone can help me with this (as in bigger TV requires higher Hz??) as well as what other things I need to look out for when buying a 70" TV (no experience at all and worry buy wrongly)…
PS:
Today ‘watched TV’ and listened to salespeople talked for about 3 hours in Best Denki and Courts. Watched till eyes pain. Listened so much still catch no balls. Sigh… -

It depends very much on what you watch mostly on the TV.... Anyone can help me with this (as in bigger TV requires higher Hz??) as well as what other things I need to look out for when buying a 70\" TV (no experience at all and worry buy wrongly)...

If you mostly watch movies and TV programmes, even if they are HD programmes, it wouldn't make a lot of difference whether your TV is 60Hz, 120Hz or 240Hz. Most movies are shot at 24 frames per second so even a 60Hz TV is more than good enough to handle the movies without stutter. In fact, the higher the resolution, the more the interpolation the TV has to do to make up the missing frames, and the less true the TV rendition is to the original movie.
However, if you play games on the TV, some games are able to render much higher frames per second and so your TV can effectively take advantage of these frame rates and present a smoother experience.
Also, for digital TV, the key issue is really the persistence of the pixels. Plasma TVs, or how fast each pixel can change its color. Refresh rate is really a misnomer, and applies mostly to analog TVs where the CRT tube will literally focus a beam of light across the screen from top left to bottom right. So refresh rate refers to how many times the beam can travel across the screen per second.
The correct parameter is frames per second. Plasma TVs have poor persistence and are prone to burn-out pixels that render the TVs unrepairable, so avoid them. The latest LED or OLED TVs have much better frame rates.
Larger TVs do require higher frame rates because the motion blur would be multiplied and be more obvious to the eye. But be careful here. When the saleman says that Samsung has 840Hz vs Sony with 240Hz, he does not know that he is comparing apples with durians. These TV manufacturers are not using actual frame rates, but concocting their own proprietary terminologies which adds to the general confusion.
Do read the following article for more information:

The real reason for the price difference is in the screen size. At sizes beyond the more \"standard\" 40\" to 50\", LCD panels can vary very much in prices due to the smaller market for these panels.
