The user interface is Android, but getting into Amazon and Hulu is easy. I don't subscribe to Netflix, but it should be easy also (and there's a Netflix button on the remote). It can be hard to find settings in the interface, and Android is slow to start up but that only happens after a software upgrade or a complete restart of the set. You can disable Samba (an app that a lot of people object to) during the initial setup.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Harv, Android is required to run the apps. If you feel like the performance of the Android is slow, the unused apps are customizable or can be removed. Regards, -Mark
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Update to my question: My concerns were unfounded---the TV's various access programs are largely intuitive and can be mastered with a bit of effort, and the remote's functions are very well organized. I've got it all under control.
