this may be a stupid question but - will this TV become a smart WIFI TV if you plug in a media streamer like Google Chromcast &amp; use w/a smartphone?

Yes!!! Ditch it and buy a Chromecast! Or a Smart Blu-Ray player. That RCA box is garbage.

Yes. You need a Samsung USB WiFi adapter and you will get wireless with this TV. Remember however, this is NOT a smart TV (No Apps, like Netflix, Hulu, etc.), so this will only benefit you for Firmware Updates for the TV itself, and Media Streaming from your other devices, such as video and pictures from other Samsung Android devices, and Windows PC's and laptops.

If you're hoping to wirelessly stream videos to your tv, then the answer would be no. If you can plug your phone or tablet into the tv with an hdmi, then yes. A maybe would be with a USB. There is a usb input on the tv for videos and pictures, but it only allows certain formats.

Google TV just offers an interface similar to Android. You can browse the internet (via Chrome, of course), download apps, and hopefully a lot more with each successive update. The app store is still fairly limited (especially 'free' apps), but there are definitely some nice ones out there if you're willing to pay. Also, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you can easily stream the 'rented' videos right on your TV (depending on your internet connection, as I noticed a fairly considerable drop in quality when streaming on the TV compared to streaming on my laptop and connecting via HDMI. YMMV). Some other nice benefits are being able to 'fling' webpages between your computer and TV, so you can do the browsing on the laptop and just fling to the TV when you found what you're looking for. You can also download the chromemote (sp) and use your laptop as a remote control for the TV. Overall I wouldn't break the bank to pay for Google TV, but it's a very nice addition if the prices/specs are comparable otherwise.

I don't know exactly what you mean by that, what I can tell you is that this is a full Android Device, and I can say it's a good device to turn a Normal TV to a Smart TV. Essentially it can run any video at 1080 and stream perfectly Netflix or other similar vendors, I even used Plex and it works fine.

No the LE550 is not a smart TV with WIFI, I have a Roku which works great and has Netflix + many more apps than the Smart TV's currently have

Most likely no. I had a terrible experience with this. Better invest in a Chromecast

Oh sure. You have the ability to use WiFi or actually what works the best is running a CAT5 or CAT6 networking line to the TV. The reason why I mention the networking line is that if your WiFi is not beefy enough to handle your requests (i.e. streaming, gaming, etc from multiple sources)... putting more stress on your WiFi bandwidth may not make too much sense... thus a physical network line to the TV is possible too.

No it is not a smart tv, but with a roku or Apple TV or fire tv you can make it one ;)

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc. Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

Dave I am using mine with a non-smart TV and since everything goes through the Blu ray player this should not be the case . By the way this is an excellent unit and I have no problems watching any of my streaming services.

This is not a smart tv. What I did is buy the google chrome cast for $30 and used my iPad to project all my movies to my tv.

Well, with my Sony Blu-ray, it appeared to send 480i resolution which I think might be due to the HDCP limitations. I haven't tried it with Apple TV or any other media streaming device. I did try to connect my Android TV stick, without any success. Only managed to get black screen, nothing else. Hope to try it with Chromecast soon.

This is TV is not a "Smart TV". It cannot connect to wifi or internet. However, you can hook up a laptop with WIFI access to the TV and view web pages on the big screen through the laptop computer connection to the TV.
