I currently use a tv with a computer attached to watch online tv shows streaming from the internet, will this work without the computer?

Yes, that is what Smart Hub and the apps are for. It does depend if the site has an app, like Netflix and Hulu do, you can search and download one if available. Also may be able to watch through the built-in web browser although I haven't tried that yet. This TV is almost like a computer when it comes to watching media of all types. Can even plug in an external hard drive or USB flash drive and watch content on them.

van,This model will work fine with your computer as long as your computer has an HDMI output and supports either 720 or 1080 signals. You'll also want to make sure you "edit the name" of the input (HDMI-1 or HDMI-2), and change it to "PC or PC HDMI", as those presets are designed specifically to let you connect various devices, including computers.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.

I had a computer man hook up my pc to the TV. It works great. I had him do it as I am the worst electronic person in the galaxy. I wish I could help you more. I am not sure about laptop.

Hi Toni--the answer is "yes". I just connected yesterday, as a matter of fact, and it was a breeze. I went to a website to find out how to connect my computer to a TV and it worked just fine. Here's the website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtRd_ttmQ70

I've only tried to access content via Amazon, Netflix or other streaming sites and not the internet. I don't think you can access websites unless you use the TV as just a monitor and hook it up to your computer.

I do not know, since I don't have a Roku unit or do streaming video on the computer it is used on.

Yes it will operate as a normal tv with the remote, you can operate the internet with your remote (it would be a slow method) or attach a wireless mouse and keyboard with a USB connection. The internet would either need a wireless USB LAN ( for wifi) or an Ethernet connection

if you have a cable or satellite set top box, you would connected to it. TV does not need to be on.

I do not think it will work unless your t.v. is a smart tv.. It acts like a router so if your TV is not Internet capable then I do not know how you could access the Internet browser. You should check into a device such as roku or Amazon fire tv since they allow for streaming on non smart tv's. You can check to see if there is a app you can download to access direct t.v.

Must go through Dave but can be connected to tv without software if you use an hdmi or sub cable. Software is needed for computer and you will need you IP info for your computer. TV just needs to be turned to a component channel.

Depends. This is just a bare bones PC. You have to add a hard drive, memory (RAM), and an operating system. You could also add a TV tuner, in which case you could connect your cable/satellite in order to watch TV through your PC. If you had a tv tuner then yes you can watch all the same channels. Some cable providers also allow you to stream on demand content over the internet. If you do that then you can stream your content through your PC onto your monitor/tv

No. You have to have it connected to something that can stream video, like a DVD player or a chromecast.

You can stream Netflicks directly from the TV. You do not need to connect another device to the TV

i have my tv hooked up to my computer with a vga cable. It will work with any tv this way. I no longer have cable b/c it's really pointless for me to have 500 channels when i can watch them all online for 15% of what i was paying. If u hook it up to your computer it will work

Yes. Connect either with hdmi or RCA audio video jacks. Offcourse an Internet connection is needed.

Not having a TV will make setup and use of some features almost impossible. For instance, the Net feature requires the TV to select the radio functionality as well as creating stations. For just CD or Ipod, the receiver will be functional

yes you will be able to do that. The browser isnt actually half bad for a built in tv web browser. That being said it is still browsing the internet without a dedicated keyboard and the magic remote. Meaning you will have to point at each and every letter when you type in the web page. A little annoying and time consuming but like I said one of the better built in tv browsers.
