If I recall correctly 6100 is flat while 6300 is curved.

Panel type, performance and spec should be identical.

Buddy, you bought a Series 6 range, which is like the lowest level of entry-level UHD TVs.. IMO, proper entry-level starts from Series 7.. So obviously the panel won't be as great as the Series 9 and OLED panels.. Now you know why a 27" 4K HDR Monitor costs 2x more than some 55" UHD HDR TVS.. Either check dem eyes or manage your expectations.. tongue.gif

thanks for verifying for us

now is how to get it going, will try out later tonight if i have the time

1st thing 1st, i must get the folder i want to be accessed to be readable by the tv right? then only the tv will be able to detect the folder
Do we need to download another app on the tv itself?

If the proper SMB client is implemented, you should be able to log on to your NAS from the TV. It can then access to where rights that were firstly given to the TV's network ID.

I'm sure there's a YouTube video available. It may not be specifically for your TV model but steps will be similar as long as the video talks about the protocols.. Personally, I prefer to either plug in USB with content or play through an Android box. At least, till I get a proper NAS system and beefier home network. This is because, most files I play are either easily streamed from the box or have to be downloaded due to being big files. Streaming raw & high bit-rate files wirelessly from the PC in another room is problematic. For small movie files, its okay.

I'd write you up a detailed tut but I'm running the older SmartHub OS with Windows 10 and you should be on the newer Tizen. I'm not that intimate with it.

I have setup file sharing in Windows 10, but how do I access it from my TV? Do I need any app from Samsung TV to access the shared folder in my pc?

No, you don't need an additional app to be installed on the TV. Just make sure both the TV and PC are connected to the same network. Once folder & multimedia sharing is setup properly on the PC, then (off my memory of my TV) go into the TV settings and look for AllShare Settings & I think Content Settings...or could be using the Source button. Using the Source button, just as you are able to see plugged in USB drives and HDMi..bla bla.. You should also see you PC media there too.

An alternatively and much simpler way is to use the Samsung Smart View PC app... Simply install on PC, pair and the rest is self-explanatory. I tried it awhile back with smaller vid files and it works. It's all done automatically.. Oh yeah, make sure your Antivirus/Firewall software isn't blocking incoming/outgoing connections to the TV.

hmm.gif The KU5500 should be running the newer Tizen OS. Windows 8? If Windows 10 is too heavy or so..I actually prefer Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.. In all scenarios, using cable connection will always be better than using WiFi and suffer much interference, so better connect via cable. Majority of the PCs out there can play various sound formats but are physically incapable of pass-thru surround tech. Need to have specific audio cards and the right software before such is possible.. Else, just glorified stereo sound and your speakers do the rest. Kodi works well on my PC.. no issues there.

As for the Samsung TV in-built video player.. Yes, it does support playing surround sound through its speakers or pass-through via HDMI to a compatible Soundbar/HTS/AVR. My setup involves using HDMI-ARC tech to connect the TV, external players and HTS together. All sound sources are routed to come out of the HTS speakers (DD & DTS supported)..

My PC is connected to my Samsung TV thru HDMI, I believe the output using direct HDMI is better than Samsung Smart View app right? The only drawback is my PC can only output 1080p instead of 4K, I have some movies are in 4K so when I play in my PC it will downscale to 1080p to my TV.
