Samsung Smart TV UA50ES6200

by achh007 Jan 18, 2013 4:38AM PST

Hi All,

I have recently bought the above model.
The picture quality is good but I also got this keeping in mind that I would be able to watch movies etc on-line through the browser - I was assuming it would work as a computer browser and have no issues - I was wrong about that!!
If I open up a video through a website after 10-15 mins it comes up with an error "your browser has unexpectedly stopped due to memory or an unknown issue" - Sometimes it works fine on some sites like when I watch live sports online it doesn't have any issues.
I did a bit of investigation and found that this is one of the limitations of the Samsung browser which is very sad

See here - http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx=406298

I was wondering if anyone has installed an android 4.0 HD tv box to the smart tv to make it more smarter

Does the browser work better with the box ? i.e. I can watch online movies on the browser without any memory issues coming up.

BTW I am based in NZ

Thanks and appreciate all your feedback

Thanks Bob.

Please look at the link below

http://www.grabonestore.co.nz/android-full-hd-tv-box or http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/laptops/laptops/other/auction-553303026.htm

It mentions about the box and based on the pictures i see a separate browser - which somehow looks like internet explorer. Its an inbuilt browser for the box

I normally watch movies/sitcoms uploaded on sites like putlocker which samsung does not have apps for.

Thanks for your response Bob

No HULU.com

I have such a thing and still no HULU.com. For that I'm back to the PC. There's a similar gotcha for other sites.

Be sure to see if you can return this if it doesn't live up to your expectations. I know what a lot of folk are looking for is the full PC Web Browser Experience. For that we need a laptop.

TRUE!

The browser is very limited in memory so for video watching you want to see if there is an app such as Netflix for this.

I know of no box that will fix this limited browser.
