\nSearch<\/strong>\u00a0: With this feature, you can search apps and content.\u00a0This also applies to channels, programs or movies offered by the Smart Hub service.\u00a0True, only YouTube content is often displayed as search results for content in various streaming applications.
\nAmbient<\/strong>\u00a0: In this section you set all kinds of Ambient mode options.\u00a0In the new version of Tizen OS, the NFT application list window has been added.\u00a0Those.\u00a0images can also be loaded from the NFT application, greatly increasing the number of possible options.
\nMedia<\/strong>: the most important section.\u00a0Here you will find all Smart TV apps and external connections.\u00a0Also, this section is selected by default when you press the Home button.
\nGame<\/strong>\u00a0: The section contains cloud gaming applications.\u00a0These apps (such as Xbox and Geforce Now) are already available in the app store.\u00a0The Game Center (Samsung Gaming Hub) will group all these apps along with any connected gaming consoles.\u00a0You will also find gaming content on YouTube and Twitch.
\nArt<\/strong>\u00a0: This section is only supported by\u00a0Samsung Frame\u00a0TVs .\u00a0It allows you to view images on the screen when the TV is not in use.
\nMenu<\/strong>\u00a0: in this section you will find all the settings, as well as a number of additional functions.<\/p>\n
Note that Tizen 7.0 OS provides a user interface support technology that allows you to control the TV using your voice without additional processing in applications.\u00a0To simplify interaction, an assistant in the form of a Mini-avatar has been added.\u00a0It is displayed in a separate layer and shows automatically generated commands for all managed interface objects.\u00a0And when the user says a command, he forwards it to the selected object.<\/p>\n
Media center<\/h3>\n
Whether you want to stream\u00a0Netflix\u00a0, watch live TV or watch HDMI sources, you’ll find it all in the media center.\u00a0Screen space is not used very well, for example, the top half of the screen is not used.\u00a0Or rather reserved for potential advertising or affiliate content.<\/p>\n
Applications are in the center of the screen.\u00a0This line can be customized, but it is the only thing that can be personalized throughout the interface.\u00a0This row can also accommodate HDMI inputs and streaming services.\u00a0Since there is no button for external inputs on the remote, this is the best solution.\u00a0At the bottom left you will find a tile that will take you back to the last used source.<\/p>\n
Applications<\/h3>\n
Samsung TV has a very wide range of applications.\u00a0When it comes to streaming video, we can say that you will find almost everything here.\u00a0Most of these applications are also preinstalled.\u00a0The choice depends on the region, but this is mainly for local applications.\u00a0To install other applications in Tizen 7.0, you can go to the application store with a Samsung account.<\/p>\n
Mirroring<\/h3>\n
You can share your smartphone screen with your Taizen 7 TV screen via Smart View, Apple AirPlay (AirPlay 2 supported) or Tap View.\u00a0When you start mirroring, the TV screen switches to the Multi View screen or mobile device screen.\u00a0But TVs don’t support all Chromecast features.<\/p>\n

Ambient hub<\/h3>\n
If you want to give your TV a decorative function when you are not watching, you can use the Ambient mode.\u00a0There are all sorts of artistic images, soothing scenes, atmospheric videos, and other decorative images.\u00a0Those who turn on Ambient are greeted with a large advertisement for the NFT store.\u00a0We recommend simply ignoring this commercial solution.\u00a0Scroll down to see the usual Ambient features.<\/p>\n
At the very bottom, Samsung offers a series of routines that can be activated, for example, to automatically turn on the TV in the morning for a few hours with useful information.\u00a0Those who wish to customize these routines can do so through the SmartThings app on their smartphone.\u00a0There are also limited options for the Ambient screen.<\/p>\n
Section Menu<\/h3>\n
This is where Samsung groups the settings, as well as a number of additional features.\u00a0The appearance of the home screen menu has changed slightly in relation to Tizen 6.0.\u00a0The navigation ribbon is no longer there, and the settings or the Multi View function of the Ribbon are called up through the buttons at the bottom of the screen.\u00a0To select connected external devices, the button on the left is highlighted.\u00a0As before, the settings can be accessed through the remote control.<\/p>\n
External devices are, for example, HDMI inputs (if they are connected), as well as all devices that the TV finds on your home network.\u00a0You can also connect a USB camera to the Samsung TV, which is also on this list.\u00a0Samsung also highlights three features in it: SmartThings, Samsung TV Plus, and Workspace.<\/p>\n
You can control smart devices in your home through SmartThings.\u00a0Workspace lets you connect to a PC, Mac, or Samsung Dex smartphone.\u00a0Or you can even connect directly to Microsoft 365 to work from home on the big screen.\u00a0The Multi View option allows you to view two screens side by side or use picture-in-picture mode.<\/p>\n
Tizen 7.0 review summary<\/h3>\n
In terms of layout and design concept, the new Tizen Smart Hub matches what we see in other major Smart TV systems (Google TV, LG\u00a0webOS 23\u00a0).\u00a0It is a full-screen interface with a small space for ads and affiliate content.\u00a0This in itself is not bad if the recommended content matches your browsing habits.\u00a0But it rarely matches.<\/p>\n
The new interface is sometimes slow to respond, especially when you first turn on the TV.\u00a0This is actually incomprehensible in 2023.\u00a0The big advantage of Samsung Smart Hub is the extensive list of applications and many additional features.\u00a0In this area, Samsung, as always, shows excellent results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
