Not exactly sure if this is correct forum to post in but I'm going ahead anyway... I just unboxed a samsung smart tv 5 series 5500 it seems a but sluggish this tv is a couple years old just hasn't been turned on until today. I updated it to the "latest" firmware 2170 I just want to make sure I can't manually update this to any newer firmware. Also my dad's smart tv looms very different then mine. Also are there any nodding options arable for my tv any help will be appcaited thanks

I don't know. I would suggest you contact Samsung support to find out, as I don't think anyone here specializes in Samsung Telescreens.

I have tried dozens of so called smart TVs from loads of makers. Despite it being easy on the face of it (there have to be a thousand different android boards with HDMI out, many TVs I pull apart already have extra decoder boards and android takes mouse and keyboard input which you were already adding to your remote control) none of them have been worth using.
I don't know why they are all so inept but they are and thus you continue to get to buy $20 devices to improve the functionality immeasurably.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

I don't know. I am happy with mine (Android TV / SONY X850C).
It works quite well.
I mean, what I normally use works quite well. Youtube, Netflix and Amazon video.
Also I do movies using MX PLAYER (you can just install android apps), and it works well also with full subtitles, even ASS subtitles.
Crunchyroll (from the play store also) works quite well.
Not much complaining from me about it... Well, the web browser is shit, I suppose.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
