UA40D6600

So frustrated----Sears says Samsung has to solve the issue, Samsung says Sears has to solve the issue....I want a normal sized keyboard/mouse to use with my Smart TV - I have spent so much money and it is still useless.

Hi bearrudy,

Tell me more. What's the model you're having problems with?

HD Tech

The model is

SAM UN40D6300

Thanks but many individuals at Samsung told me it would never be possible to add a keyboard or mouse to the tv

The " QWERTY Remote RMC-QTD1 RMC-QTD1AP2/ZA " is at this link.

Let's see if that's your model and see what Samsung's reps have to add.

...it is slow to respond, the keyboard is way behind on the TV, the remote keyboard "window" is black on grey, every time the batteries run out I have to resync it and this requires a call to Samsung

I am so thankful you have hopped in Bob....

I wanted a Smart TV that I could use a mouse and keyboard with and that is so NOT the case with this. I am going to try a Logictech that I saw mentioned somewhere else---more $$$$

I should have just bought a cheaper flat screen and hooked my laptop to it

Thanks again

I am seeing a lot of folk wanting the PC web experience on the TV but they forget the PC. These Smart TVs are not PCs. There's a lot of differences but they are much smarted than the pre 2010 models.

Even with the Logitech you still see glitches such as the YouTube app issue. Many have to repeat the lesson about this. What YouTube issue? I noted it from a different angle at link.

Hi bearrud,

Unfortunately, the QWERTY would have been the only option for you on this TV. So you're right. I will say for 2012 TVs you can use most off-the-shelf keyboards (USB, HID compliant of course). Also, some Blu-ray players and Home theaters also have this functionality, if you're interested.

and thus my point....

I, an innocent consumer, spent a great deal of money at Sears buying a Samsung product that will never be able to do what I was told it would do....

No more Samsung or Sears for me....I would advise the same for others....

"every time the batteries run out I have to resync it and this requires a call to Samsung"

Ouch. I've yet to encounter such a thing. Is the call to get some code or to have them walk you through some procedure?
Bob

They walk me through the procedure since it NEVER works when I do it....

I have given up using the TV as I was told it could be used. I will hook my laptop to it and continue my ongoing boycott of Sears and Samsung.

Thanks so much for your help.
