A:AnswerOn startup, it asked to link to my phone (galaxy S7) and it works through Samsung's connection service. Not sure about other phone brands being that seemles but I would be shocked if there wasn't an app.
A:AnswerYes it does. But like most edge lit displays these days you will began to lose some of the crisp picture when you view it at extreme angles. I recommend a room centered, stand set up. (not mounted on wall...a few reviews out there speak of the housing being a bit flimsy, and after owning this set, I could see how this may be the case)
A:AnswerIf you decide you need one, get a Samsung. I have one with my main TV I bought a year ago and have been happy with it. However, before paying the extra money, check the different sound settings available on this TV. One of these may give the performance you need, depending on how you are using it. I get plenty of volume from the TV.
A:AnswerThat depends on the speakers. In MOST cases, you can't connect speakers directly to a TV. There is the option with this tv to connect the TV to bluetooth speakers, and also another option to connect using a "multiroom" speaker, which tends to be run through a pre-wired setup from a custom home audio installation. If your Bose speakers are bluetooth speakers, chances are that you would be able to connect one of the speakers to the TV and utilize it.
Are your speakers 150 Watt POWERED speakers? or are they rated for 150 watts from an amplifier? If they are powered speakers AND have an optical input, then you may be able to connect them directly to your TV using a TOSLINK (fiber optic) audio cable that can be picked up for a few dollars. However, this is highly unlikely, so unless the speakers are Bluetooth speakers, you will probably have to have a separate Audio/Video Receiver like the Sony STR-DH770, which is currently on sale here at Best Buy for @199.99, and either an optical cable or additional HDMI cables, along with speaker cable in order to connect the Bose speakers.
Here is a link to the STR-DH770 SONY A/V Home Theater Receiver .This is the most economical solution I could find immediately!

If you can find a model number for the speakers and reply with it, I can probably tell you immediately. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerThe salesman’s claim was mostly true. The smart TV allows apps to be placed on the TV itself, eliminating the need for a connected device such as a Roku or Apple TV. Therefore, if the programming you are trying to watch has an app, you access it through the TV instead of the Roku. For example, I have Netflix, Hulu, UFC TV, YouTube, Spectrum cable’s app, and an internet browser all on the TV itself with no secondary device hooked up. It totally eliminates the need for a cable box or Roku.
A:AnswerI have been very happy with the clarity and overall brightness of the picture, and the colors and contrast are pleasingly pure and bright. Our set is located just below a south facing window and we have no problem with washout from the ambient or back light. The clarity, contrast, and brightness does not decrease noticeably with viewing angle. We can still see the picture clearly at angles well beyond 45 degrees. Hope that helps.
A:AnswerDepends what’s the maximum weight limit in the current wall mount. You may also need to use different spacers and screws for this tv. We had a 42 inch and needed to get smaller spacers and different screws
A:AnswerAs long as your phone setting has the mirroring it should work. Make sure your Bluetooth is on as well and then set the mirror tab in your setting and see if that works. I am able to play Pandora and YouTube music on this TV.
