Samsung UE55H6800

[48Valves]

I'm looking for a new TV an John Lewis have the Samsung UE55H6800 for £798 which seems to me to be a decent price.

Problem is, I cant find any reviews as it seems it was a French release?

Has anyone had any experience of this TV?

I'm not fussed about 4k, it has wifi and DNLA which is what I'm after to stream from my NAS.

Thanks

I bought a UE55H8200 a couple of weeks ago. After calibration, it's a very good TV.
I can't get to grips with the smart features though. The streaming features for local sources seem to be buried away, and not always in the same place!
I have an HP microserver, running WHS, and I can't always see the server, let alone find the film I'm looking for.
Wifi gave very poor results on HD material (constant buffering), so I'm now using a wired connection.

I can't fault it as a TV, but it isn't really a replacement for a proper media player. I'm sticking with my Dune for that. OK for occasional use I guess - as long as you can find what you want to watch!

Thanks.

I've taken a punt an ordered it.

If it's too much hassle I'll just stream through my playstation as I do now.

I have a Samsung TV and Plex works really well with it. Far better than the in built methods.

I also found wifi connectivity a bit flaky too. So mine's also wired up.

Thanks. I'll give plex a try. There is a plex app for my NAS so hopefully it should work OK.

I've decided to run a network cable too.

Cant wait for Friday to come

I did try running Plex on my server, but I found it really confusing. I couldn't figure out how to use it at all. I'm using the standard Windows sharing, which works fine for the Dune media player, iTunes for music, and Serviio for the smart TVs.
