Samsung is adding Steam Link functionality directly to their latest line of Smart TVs.
If you are in the United States and have a 2016 or 2017 Samsung UHD TV, we'd like to invite you to help test the Steam Link App, now available as a free beta from the Samsung Smart Hub.
The App uses the same streaming technology as Valve's Steam Link, allowing users to play their favorite games, and even spectate VR games on the HTC Vive, wherever they watch TV.
During the beta, playback of 1080p video at 60 FPS and support for the Steam Controller are included. For worldwide release later this summer, support for streaming 4K resolutions and additional controllers will be added.
Note: Streaming to the TV requires a Steam Controller and a high-quality network, at least 5GHz. A wired network is strongly recommended.
Please let us know how this is working for you and post feedback and questions on the Steam Link discussion forum:

Been waiting for this feature! I do not have a Steam Controller though. Is it possible to pair something like a dualshock 4 and have it act as a steam controller?
I just tried it.
PS4 controller does work, but I would rather use my XB1 controller with BT. The Steam controller isn't working with the adapter plugged in. I need to fiddle with it.

Do you have to use the USB adapter or did you sync it via bluetooth?
I use HDMI ARC. Does anyone know if uping the audio delay just delays the video output (adding however many of ms of delay you select). Or does it work through some other method, and not add any input lag.
Im lookin at adding 30ms of audio delay to sync up to game mode.
Could really use some help. I have a KS8000 with a Yamaha receiver that my PC is connected to. I got this around 6 months ago, I calibrated everything, it has been working perfectly until recently. 2 weeks ago, when I turn on the TV after it has been powered off overnight (only when overnight, not for 1-2 hours), everything is messed up. The colors are all washed out, likesomeone has turned the brightness up to an insane level. Imagine a video game where it asks you to balance the brightness and you maxed it out completely, then kept going. If I power off the PC/Receiver/TV this issue remains. If I unplug the cable between the TV and the receiver, the issue will clear until the next time I turn it off overnight. If I unplug the cable between the PC and the Receiver there is no change. I have swapped the cable between the TV and the Receiver, but the issue persists. What is going on? I can't understand what is wrong. When the issue appears, there is literally nothing you can adjust on the TV to make it look correct, it always looks messed up. To the point you can't make out some objects on screen unless there is high levels of contrast between them.
So I finally found a Switch and I haven't had the issue with the TV turning on unexpectedly like a lot of people have mentioned here. Did Nintendo and/or Samsung fix that in a recent patch?
For me it isn't that the TV powers on. Rather the TV will switch from whatever HDMI input you are currently using to whichever the Switch is connected to. For example, while I was watching cable on HDMI input 2, it would suddenly switch to HDMI 3 where the Switch was connected. Even though the Switch was off.
UHD on the Vudu app now works with the firmware update
I think someone said the arc delay is dependent on the hdmi port you use if that helps anything.

Sweet. Time to see if any of my UHD redeem codes have redeemed a UHD copy too. Doubtful, but maybe 1 or 2 did.
EDIT: oh wait, that's only if you go to the site and download the firmware update manually to a flash drive?
There's nothing you can do to fix the delay in game mode. They didn't compensate for the reduced video lag. The problem is that the video is coming early, not that the audio is coming late. So, even at an audio delay of 0 you still get roughly 100ms of delay. Increasing the delay will only make it worse. As far as anyone is aware the only way to fix this is through firmware on Samsung's end. It's only a problem when using bitstream audio, so if you want to remove the delay in game mode then you need to either use an external device for your audio decoding, or use PCM(limited to 2.1) in the TV's settings if you have to use passthrough.I use HDMI ARC. Does anyone know if uping the audio delay just delays the video output (adding however many of ms of delay you select). Or does it work through some other method, and not add any input lag.

at random moments for a second or two, the red, green and blue output layers are not aligned anymore, until it corrects itself few seconds afterwards. While not terribly distracting and a rare occurrence, it happened enough times for me to be slightly concerned.
I have a similar setup and mine always changes the input name to PC automatically which is really annoying because it changes all the video setting when it does that. Rename it to game console or whatever and see if that fixes it.
Odd question. Is it normal for playing a game with hdr turned off to look brighter than with hdr turned on? When I enable hdr.. everything looks so dim and dark
PS4s RGB auto is and will always be broken. Set to FULL on PS4 and Normal on the Samsung TV. Or limited on PS4 and low on Samsung TVs.
Okay:
PS4: RGB FULL, KS8000: Black Level: Normal
PS4: RGB Limited, KS8000: Black Level: Low
Not okay:
PS4: FULL, KS8000: Black Level: Low
PS4: Limited, KS8000: Normal
That being said, fuck Samsung's black level terminology
It shouldn't, though if you have a ps4 pro and are playing an HDR compatible game, I believe you will lose the black level option since there shouldn't be any need to touch it in such a scenario. On the other hand, regular PS4 will still give you the black level option with HDR so make sure it's set properlyWhat if black level is always greyed out on this tv for me...?
European models stuck on 1169.2 fw. Why?
Anyone know how to get rid of the "Back to top" icon/graphic in the lower right corner when watching youtube on KS8000?
Anyone?
Dr. zoidberg, I'm getting crushed blacks when selecting 10 bit on my Xbox but don't I need that for hdr to work? I've used the squares from the LCD test and with 8 bit I can see every square. With 10 bit I can't see like the first 20. What am I doing wrong here?Did you check the website? The new firmwares usually appear there long before they are pushed out via the TVs built-in firmware check feature. I don't know which site you need to go to but for example here is the UK site for the KS7000 and the new firmware is there for download.

Hold back button for force close the app, then reopen it.

Will there be any problem if I use wrong region firmware? My tv doesn't have it yet.

One annoying thing on the new firmware was the removal of the HDR notification on a HDR source, the banner doesn't show anymore.
