Go for it.
For me the BEST WAY I FOUND to day is my latest toy. It's an Intel NUC PC with the Logitech K400 Plus keyboard. It plays them all without the usual issues you have with what you mentioned.
Hi All,
I have just purchased a Series 7 Samsung Smart TV (http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/uhd-tv/UA65JU7000WXXY), and am now looking for the best way to play content that is stored on my computer through the TV.
The TV and computer are located in separate rooms, furthermore they are networked using Ethernet (rather than Wi-Fi) because cabled connections still provide superior bandwidth. This being said I also have two 54Mbps Wireless Access Points (APs) in my home so I can potentially use those with my Samsung phone to control the TV (and by extension the content that is being played from my computer).
I have noticed online that there is an App called Smart View 2 (http://www.samsung.com/us/apps/smart-view-2/) which is designed to allow access to Computer content using the Smart TV. However there is no direct mention of whether this App will work using an Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi.
Can anybody recommend the best way to play content stored on a computer through the TV over Ethernet?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
