Beyond the basics like web browsing and news reading, a Smart TV from Samsung offers 5 unique features that are often overlooked. In this article, Mytour will walk you through utilizing these special functionalities.
Samsung Smart TV
1. Turn off the Smart TV screen without muting the sound:
For many of us who frequently enjoy music on our Smart TVs, there are moments when we just want to listen without the need for visuals to save power. However, the conventional screen-off methods often result in muting the music. This is where the screen-off feature on your Samsung TV comes in handy.
This article will guide you through the process on Samsung's J-series Smart TVs.
- Step 1: Press the Menu button
- Step 2: Select the Picture category
- Step 3: Scroll down and choose the Turn off picture option
For K-series TVs, screen-off is only possible when listening to music via USB or Bluetooth from your phone.
2. Virus Scan:
A feature we usually associate with desktops, laptops, or phones is now integrated into your Samsung Smart TV.
To utilize this feature, follow these 4 simple steps:
- Step 1: Press the Menu button
- Step 2: Select the System category
- Step 3: Choose the Security Information option
- Step 4: Press Scan
The TV will scan all connected devices, and the results will be displayed on the TV screen. For malicious codes, click on them and select Quarantine.
In the Security Information section, you can also choose:
- Virus Elimination: Prevent harmful viruses from affecting your TV.
- Network Security: Safeguard your TV against unauthorized intrusions.
- Automatic Scanning: Automatically scans when the TV is turned on or connected to other devices.
3. Mirror TV Screen to Phone:
While we may know how to display content from the phone to the TV, mirroring the TV screen to the phone is a lesser-known process. To achieve this, your TV must be equipped with the Screen Mirroring feature (all Samsung Smart TVs from 2015 onwards have this integrated), and the phone must be a Samsung model with both Screen Mirroring and Quick Connect capabilities.
Step 1: Press the SOURCE button on the Remote, then select Screen Mirroring.
Step 2: Swipe down the notification bar on your phone, select Quick Connect.
Step 3: Select the name of your TV.
Step 4: Select TV to mobile device.
Step 5: Wait for a moment for the two devices to connect, then everything displayed on the TV will appear on the phone.
- Note: To disconnect, simply pull down the notification bar, go to Quick Connect, and select Disconnect.
4. Enjoy Music with HD Mode:
This mode will enhance the sound of your TV without the need to spend extra money on additional speakers.
Step 1: Press the Menu button on the TV remote, then select the Sound category
Step 2: Next, choose Additional Settings
Step 3: Scroll down to HD sound and select Enable
5. Power Saving Feature:
Despite the conveniences Smart TVs bring, their major drawback is the relatively high power consumption. However, this issue has now been addressed with a few simple steps.
- Step 1: Press the Menu button
- Step 2: Select the System category
- Step 3: Choose the Power Saving solution
At this point, your TV will present you with 5 choices:
- Power Saving: In this mode, the TV will reduce screen brightness slightly.
- Eco Sensor: The TV will adjust brightness based on the surrounding environment.
- No Signal Standby: If there's no interaction with the TV for a prolonged period, the screen will automatically turn off.
- Auto Power Off: After a prolonged period without interaction, the TV will automatically power off.
- Motion Lighting: Adjusts brightness based on on-screen motion to reduce power consumption.
