For myself Yes, I prefer Tizen OS it’s the best special for IPTV apps. It does give you best picture quality & it’s my first choice Second choice it will be Apple TV iOS then the last choice will be Android OS it does offer more apps but the picture quality always more brighter than should be.
Can you go a 2022 review of these OD's, since a lot of them have been massively updated, especially Google/Android TV. You can even do a more comprehensive comparison with big budget brands like Vizio and Hisense. I know they both use to have a lot of delay/lag, would love to see how they fair against their competition today. And maybe a separate review/comparison for the streaming boxes like Chromecast, Roku TV and Amazon Fire TV. Thanks man, looking forward to it!

I appreciate your feedback, but please keep in mind something very important that android TV are stable up to some extend it's bugge from time to time. My old Samsung TV was much more stable due to the limitation of installed app. Please Keep in mind that most home theaters sync are done using App which will always have issue connecting different brand with different TV models. Currently i took me 2 days to figure out why my Samsung Home Theater HT5500 is not recognized by my Sony 7004d. It turns out that due to compatibility issue with ARC app and had to make a tick to make it work. After all, if you just want the default apps (Mostly steaming apps) with some features such as ARC PCM etc, it's stable enough. i still support his recommendation by going android TV
Smart TV OS support period is an important factor. A Smart TV can last for 10 years or more, but smart tv software will last (with support) for at most 5 to 8 years only for LG brand. I bought a LG - 3D - 55" smart around 2013. However, it cannot watch UA-cam and Netflix after 2017 due LG Web OS 2.0 end of support in 2017. I need to add TV box for watching UA-cam and Netflix for such 2013 TV. You prepare to expect the LG Web OS 3.0 will only last for at most 5 to 8 years for current LG TV model. Once the support period expired, your invested 4K 65 LG TV becomes useless or need to add post market TV box because it cannot watch UA-cam and Netflix any more. Buying Samsung smart TV may also face similar future support problem too. You can still use obsolete window XP for watching UA-cam, but don't expect you can use LG Smart TV watching UA-cam after expiry of supporting period!
there's no point of buying a TV for all that stuff. I bought an LG C9 strictly for picture quality and price. The software and remote was a huge bonus. Even if I didn't have those, I'd just use an Apple TV 4K or a 4k fire stick (they cost $25).
That's why Smart TV Box are made. To upgrade old TVs and a 5 year old TV is an old TV. Smart TV box are cheap dude. Get one and stop blaming the manufacturer. They did their part. They will not survive on supporting an old device for very long time. Even microsoft doesn't support their OS fot 10 years except for XP.
Just don't buy smart TVs. End of story. If you really really need smart features get Android TV dongle or if you have a gaming console, use that. Smart TVs are temporary & as manufacturers move onto newer models, OS versions of previous models almost never receive an update & if they do, support is non existent.
Smart tvs are hard to avoid, with most of the mid and top tiers having apps for convenience. You can still find lcd tvs that aren't smart. But I think the vast majority of qled and oled are. It's unfortunate some tvs are no longer supported beyond a few years, but the apps should still largely work for several. In your model's case, maybe not. It may be the apps themselves (Netflix, prime etc) that discontinue support for older tv model os. If using your tv to watch movies, Blu-ray disc for instance, player devices are smart and have many of the apps you'd want. So if you want a samsung TV, but also Android services, you can do that with an external android device. These too also lose support eventually. Even my game console loses support for apps from time to time, and doesn't have every app I want. That's of course on purpose, apps are licensed to drive consumers to the companies that Are available on their particular device. They drop support eventually because it's time in resources in which they're no longer making money, and would like you to buy a new product with their newly supported app on it. There's not a lot of assurances for consumers that their product will be supported for a long time. You have to look at that company's track record and make an educated guess. It could be you'll find most of the apps you want on one device, like your TV, a Blu-ray player or console, then perhaps an Android fire stick or roku will supply the apps the others don't have. That's the norm.
I have Apple TV and honestly I would strongly recommend just use the apps from the TV. The main reason is because everything is optimized and ready to work within the TV. When you plug any external device you have to set your TV to work properly with the connected device. With the connected device. There is a bunch of settings not only from the TV HDMI port that you have to adjust to calibrate but also from the Apple TV. Just something I wanted to share. I understand that Apple's interface is nice and smooth but the movies do clip here and there there even after I calibrate it everything. Not to mention that any device that you plug in is limited to 60 Hz at 4K.. so if you have 120 Hertz TV,, forget it. Those are just my thoughts and my experiences
I would strongly recommend not buying anything whatsoever from the huge ripoff corp that is Apple, that charges 3 times as much for the same result. Each to their own
@@jamesfoo8999 Apple tv 4k is expensive but so is the Nvidia shield which is closest direct competitor. Both great products for the value and performance.
The advantage of external box (Apple TV / Android Box etc) is that you can bring it when traveling, and plug it to the hotel room's TV, compared to buying a TV with built-in smart features, OS & Apps.
@@kamilstudios That's a pretty good point. But Hotels TVs are pretty crappy anyway. I'd just buy a basic Chromecast or Fire Stick for my apps when traveling.
This is great information. Usually TV reviews just concentrate on the Picture. Digging into the Smart Tv's OS is a needed item. Thanks for creating this. How about some more? Maybe cover TVs/Apps that can stream from a NAS, display security/baby monitor cameras. IFTTT integration for alarms cameras etc. Do any TVs have picture in a picture anymore?
Android tv can be switched on and off via a smartphone using both google home app or, for sony tvs, TV&video sideview app. The last one implements voice command via smartphone as well
Currently looking for a new TV as my old one has broke, my requirements are very simple to be able to load both Emby & UA-cam apps as that's really all i use besides my Raspberry Pi with Retropie, not loaded with adverts/sponsors i can't remove without hacking like the Amazon firestick and i can delete pre loaded junk and that's about it. So far after watching a few videos i am leaning towards Roku or Android as the OS as both can do the job i need, then i need to look into the hardware specs to fit what i need. Great video BTW shows me i need to avoid everything you have mentioned besides Android TV.
my last android was 2018 sony 930c. awful experience really. responded slow. constantly had issues with google apps. had to constantly log in and out for apps to work correctly. got so sick up dumping cache....love my new b9 web os. but i have simply needs these days. netflix, vudu, amazon prime, etc...
Don't ever buy LG WEBOS trust me, won't link to Alexa or Google Assistant due to lack of region support. Second, Lack of supported apps, can't even install local tv provider like CW or anything. And third prone to LED Burning. I just bought one and It leaves some burn when playing videos in highest brightness for a long time. Fourth can't use voice recognition without magic remote which is sold separately
The BEST OS is the one that does not stand in your way!!! I have never owned a samsung, so I can't say anything about tizen (couple of my friends own one, still not impressed), but webos gets out of your way. It's fast and easy. We had a sony android tv the last couple of years and me and the misses never stopped complaining. Besides missing time shift and other features it was laggy and more in your way than helping you. The tv kept crashing and was all in all really slow. Before anyone complains; It was a 55" Bravia that was top of the line when we bought it. Yes, good tv, os annoying as f****. We ended up buying another lg. We miss the second "regular" remote that they used to include but in no means do we miss entering text with a cross navigation, instead having the magic pointer. Aside from the remote, no complains about the os yet. Intuitive, fast, does what its supposed to. The LG feels like a tv with easy access to everything else you might need. The Sony felt like an android tv that was kinda sorry when shit was not working...
Thanks for showing us the features. You have said the magic words "You cannot sideload any apps on WebOS or TizenOS". What about playing PlayStation or XBOX game son the LG and Samsung TV's.
I like samsung in everything Because they have a high quality always, but the best web system is probably web OS because it's so elegant and interesting to me.
Nobody buys a tv for software. most people have a streaming box...BUT because of how good WebOS is, I ditched my Apple TV 4. I was about to buy the Apple TV 4K when I bought my LG C9, but wow, that remote and OS are amazing.
Why do that when you can just have it Built into your TV! I think it's cool to have android built in it's cool!! I am a big huge fan of android install 1000 of android games put movies tv shows and millions of music on it from a hard disk!
@@ShauntelGill-ti9no cause it will start lagging couple of years and at that time you can't take out that inbuilt Android from TV so will you throw your TV?😂
Samsung's Tizen OS is crap compared to Android TV & WebOs. Tizen is plagued with security & privacy issues, gets limited support, and rarely gets updated. A lot of customers have complained about Tizen. Android gets heaps of updates, WebOs UI looks pretty minus the ads.
I have an LG TV with webos which is okay but not enough apps. However the android smart TV I got last year was slow and kept disconnecting from the WiFi. So I sent it back. I will not consider getting an android TV until they have got rid of the bugs
Thank you, i'm just dissapointed that nobody seems to show the TV channels guide interface? For those of us who have the tv playing in the background all day, it's very important to see how the interface looks and whether shows can be programmable to come on from different channels.
Question for you. Is the ability to stream bluetooth audio to multiple speakers a software or hardware limitation? I noticed that LG actively prevents this, limiting it to their own products. I have a significant investment in bluetooth speakers which I want to use for surround but I can't even use a third party transmitter because it only has an optical out.
Hmm. Many complains about android being laggy. I currently bought 900h and nano90. I like LG magic remote alot, but stil i prefer Android TV. And it's faster than LG webOS to me. No lag at all on 900h so far. Bought Q70R early this year, it doesnt want to load youTube content. And this happens consistently. Well, i dont use Samsung anymore as the panel breaks when I just tried to put in new optical cable. I hang it on the wall but still. Bye bye Samsung And if Sony can just put the pointer in the remote!....
Does the Android TV require to have a Google account to be able to have full experience? In that case it really sucks for the ones that don't want Google to google everything about you and selling your private information.
Dont buy android TV's, they will hang or lags after some months and compare to web OS and Tizen OS android OS booting time is more, your TV will take 30+ seconds to start. while in booting web OS is killer, web OS takes max 5 sec to start TV even after 2 years the time for start TV is same. Android OS will hang your after few month and don't side load more apps in android TV. So for great TV experience go with LG web OS or Samsung Tizen OS still you want android experience in web OS you can attach android stream box (mi, Nokia etc) which is worth 2000(INR) only (30 USD approx).
Man, u look Indian but with zero Indian accent😊. Your review is world-class. You did your research like, diligently. From Nigeria, lots of love for you.
@Deanna Oddly enough, I got both the LG and the Samsung. LG for the price as I got a great deal on it, and the Samsung cuz it works with my other Samsung stuff and works similarly to Android. I would have bought an Android TV as it would interface nicely with my mobile and google home, but there weren't any quality branded Androids. I trust Samsung and LG. I have a much harder time trusting hardware with odd randomly spelled foreign names. I will throw out there that Vizio would be a great android option. Walmart backs its brand nicely thru extended warranties. I handed down my Vizio to my Mom when I upgraded... 20 years ago... it's still crankin along flawlessly!
We have kids that like to turn on the TV at 4 in the morning and specifically we cannot lock or control UA-cam. If they want to watch guns and horrid content all night they will. There are very few people reviewing the parental controls anywhere. We had to go to the store and try the different ability's of each tv. Sony came out the winner. But there is a missing area of review and that is parental controls.
for most devices you can even turn the TV on and there is no lock on the TV itself. The kids can get into it with buttons without the remote with no lock code to turn it on. If they are there and the TV is there they can watch it. Impossible to lock it. With the sony you can lock specific apps. and even load parental control apps in the android system. Our older Visio TV was horrible for this. We find the existing parental controls quite limited in general.
I would never use the app store or google playstore on my tv. Everytime you download stuf you flood the onboard system with all data and it will become overheated, even lower the lifespan of your tv hardware. There is so much crap left behind, and make its unstable. See as as your phone. I even want to uninstall apps that i dont need, to let things run smooth, its better to buy a apple tv, or good android tv box. It also has some other benefits, not all onboard Os suport hdr or other features, great tv boxes do. I realy like webOS btw, it has a minimalistic overlay
Why not? You don't even get Chrome with Android TV, at least not on the Shield TV Pro 2019. Sites like PureAPK are just mirrors for the play store. Some apps will need keyboard and a mouse. These seem like settings that app makers could easily optimize but they simply don't. With a keyboard and mouse I get Real VNC (free) and MS Remote Desktop Manager so with a keyboard and mouse I have access to my PC. I've also found that apps like OpenVPN Connect work better then the ones in the actual TV store. It wouldn't connect to Kodi over my VPN to my house but OpenVPN Connect could with no issues. The only issue with the Shield is no UA-cam HDR. While Nvidia should of added support for the VP9 Profile 2 codec I still blame Google for forcing their codec on users when HVEC is pretty much the standard for all streaming HDR apps.
Even if it doesn't get updates, just use it as a display for 10+ years if you want. You can just get an external Android TV box for much cheaper than a whole TV and plug it in for updates.
Web OS is idiot proof. you can have a granny use an LG smart TV, it does what a smart TV has to do in a simplest and easiest way possible. Android is better if you want to use your TV more than it's purpose. Hey I'm not saying that granny is idiot!
So which brands use Android TV, and what about Google TV (looking at TLC too)? If I want to install tv apps from Google Play Store that are made in my particular country, can I do so on all these TVs, including LG and Samsung, or not?
Wait you can not activate VPN on TIzen or Web OS? Which companies support Android TV? You can plug in chromecast or amazon fire stick in your tv and do search via VPN also???
I have the tizen system on my expensive at the time Samsung, they stopped support for it after only 3 years. Was a bit bummed out by this so gone for a LGwebOS TV this time. Will see how long LG give support on this one.
But it looks more like a kid's choosing candies "The more colorful they are the better they are" But i prefer Tozen for looks but ANDROID for literally everything
Performance is an important aspect and it goes easily to Tizen, Web os has many connections issues and Android Tv is super laggy and will never recommend it
I have a Samsung TV with the Tizen OS. There is limited memory space for app installs, apps that I have no intent of using that cannot be uninstalled, and apps that I would consider to be mainstream that are unavailable. There is no CNN app, no ABC app, no NatGeo app. There is a lengthy post on Samsung's community forum about the lack of memory issue and Samsung's refusal to address it. My TV will be returned if these issues are not resolved.
I am looking forward to watching this. To me most tvs have enough quality. I am more interested in the Smart TV OS and their remotes and ease of use. Me and my g/f use the tv to watch UA-cam and movies etc.
So after this video and a review of the comments, I’m have definitely decided to go with... The.... Android... or Tizen... or WebOS! All 3 sound like they will get the job done. I would then focus on the quality of the hardware, warranty, and how many years you expect to get out of a tv. My current LG 47” is still hanging on going on 10 years now.
Hi Smart DNS Proxy, what's in your opinion the most responsive and fastest OS for TVs? I find it amazing how my LG C1 is lagging in the menus. It's 2021 and my 3k EUR tv is lagging... :( I returned it a week after buying.
Thanks, wish I watched this before buying a couple a smart LG TVs ( I had planned on sideloading a few streaming apps) guess I'm stuck with UA-cam, Netflix, and Amazon)
Tizen is objectively the worst interface ever devised by mankind, it's astonishing how badly it runs, how unintuitive nearly every feature is, even down to the baffling keyboard. Whoever designed the UI needs to put down the keyboard and think about what they've done.
@@sushmita8824 tizenOs absolutely i am using it right now.. I bought samsung 49 model 7100 4k with tizen platform after this video next day the time I comment on it .. Actually is easy and support my Samsung mobile and extra things over LG webOs... You know Samsung has long perfect history about developing operating systems and their screens colors is top quality screens .
Can you mention how well the three integrate with Google Cast? For example, I have a webos tv and I can wake up the tv by casting to youtube. Additionally, webos can stream via DLNA and the remote app can turn the tv on from my smartphone. Is Tizen just as versatile? Can vanilla Android TV handle dlna sufficiently?
is there such a thing as a tv with out an OS but I can still plug my PC into that has coax and headphone plugins I have yet to find one, I dont want or need a tv with all of the extra " Stuff"
Can you let me know your thoughts on recent news that google tv will replace android tv ? Does this then mean if we buy a tv based on its OS then once android is obsolete we will need to deal with google os on the tv we bought (originally android) or is this a mute point

@@Patrick10271995 Works fine on my 2019 Philips TV.
Very well done video. Thanks for taking the time to break it all down so well.
Don't ever buy LG WEBOS trust me, won't link to Alexa or Google Assistant due to lack of region support. Second, Lack of supported apps, can't even install local tv provider like CW or anything. And third prone to LED Burning. I just bought one and It leaves some burn when playing videos in highest brightness for a long time. Fourth can't use voice recognition without magic remote which is sold separately
LG LED is very poor quality shit.
Exactly
And lack of software updates in LG tv.
Brah LG WebOS Dont lag at all unlikr Google TV
The BEST OS is the one that does not stand in your way!!!
I have never owned a samsung, so I can't say anything about tizen (couple of my friends own one, still not impressed), but webos gets out of your way. It's fast and easy. We had a sony android tv the last couple of years and me and the misses never stopped complaining. Besides missing time shift and other features it was laggy and more in your way than helping you. The tv kept crashing and was all in all really slow.
Before anyone complains; It was a 55" Bravia that was top of the line when we bought it. Yes, good tv, os annoying as f****.
We ended up buying another lg. We miss the second "regular" remote that they used to include but in no means do we miss entering text with a cross navigation, instead having the magic pointer. Aside from the remote, no complains about the os yet. Intuitive, fast, does what its supposed to.
The LG feels like a tv with easy access to everything else you might need. The Sony felt like an android tv that was kinda sorry when shit was not working...
Thanks for showing us the features. You have said the magic words "You cannot sideload any apps on WebOS or TizenOS". What about playing PlayStation or XBOX game son the LG and Samsung TV's.
Thank you for the excellent comparison of the different OS for LED TVs
I like samsung in everything Because they have a high quality always, but the best web system is probably web OS because it's so elegant and interesting to me.
You provided the exact information I wanted! great video!
Nobody buys a tv for software. most people have a streaming box...BUT because of how good WebOS is, I ditched my Apple TV 4. I was about to buy the Apple TV 4K when I bought my LG C9, but wow, that remote and OS are amazing.
Hey i have a question,can you play videos directly from websites(free movies websites)
If apps are not available in tizen you get an amazon firestick.
no
The video is about operating systems not Amazon fire TV stick
I like the look of the LG Smart Remote with the mouse style pointer!
That could be a game changer
To have android TV in any smartv you can simply get a smart box cheaply, so it's kind of irrelevant to have it built-in.
How to do it?
Why do that when you can just have it Built into your TV! I think it's cool to have android built in it's cool!! I am a big huge fan of android install 1000 of android games put movies tv shows and millions of music on it from a
hard disk!
Because Android tv built in sucks @@ShauntelGill-ti9no
@@ShauntelGill-ti9no cause it will start lagging couple of years and at that time you can't take out that inbuilt Android from TV so will you throw your TV?😂
Samsung's Tizen OS is crap compared to Android TV & WebOs. Tizen is plagued with security & privacy issues, gets limited support, and rarely gets updated. A lot of customers have complained about Tizen. Android gets heaps of updates, WebOs UI looks pretty minus the ads.
So what best android tv would you recommend , presumably still for apk side loading , gaming ,
sony 85j
I have an LG TV with webos which is okay but not enough apps. However the android smart TV I got last year was slow and kept disconnecting from the WiFi. So I sent it back. I will not consider getting an android TV until they have got rid of the bugs
Por fin un analisis de los sistemas operativos. Excelente video
The only benefit about android TVs, for me personally is being able to listen to Spotify in the background like on the phone when on the home screen
Thank you, i'm just dissapointed that nobody seems to show the TV channels guide interface?
For those of us who have the tv playing in the background all day, it's very important to see how the interface looks and whether shows can be programmable to come on from different channels.
Question for you. Is the ability to stream bluetooth audio to multiple speakers a software or hardware limitation? I noticed that LG actively prevents this, limiting it to their own products. I have a significant investment in bluetooth speakers which I want to use for surround but I can't even use a third party transmitter because it only has an optical out.
Great video. Thanks for your hard work!
Hmm. Many complains about android being laggy. I currently bought 900h and nano90. I like LG magic remote alot, but stil i prefer Android TV. And it's faster than LG webOS to me. No lag at all on 900h so far.
Bought Q70R early this year, it doesnt want to load youTube content. And this happens consistently. Well, i dont use Samsung anymore as the panel breaks when I just tried to put in new optical cable. I hang it on the wall but still. Bye bye Samsung
And if Sony can just put the pointer in the remote!....
Now I believe u feel lag in Android TV
Does the Android TV require to have a Google account to be able to have full experience? In that case it really sucks for the ones that don't want Google to google everything about you and selling your private information.
Yes, because Android uses the Google play store to download apps and games, and you have to login.
bro, you're commenting on youtube...
@@tomavitan4565 privacy
Dont buy android TV's, they will hang or lags after some months and compare to web OS and Tizen OS android OS booting time is more, your TV will take 30+ seconds to start. while in booting web OS is killer, web OS takes max 5 sec to start TV even after 2 years the time for start TV is same. Android OS will hang your after few month and don't side load more apps in android TV. So for great TV experience go with LG web OS or Samsung Tizen OS still you want android experience in web OS you can attach android stream box (mi, Nokia etc) which is worth 2000(INR) only (30 USD approx).
Loved the video. Thank you for the detailed info. very well done. subbed
Man, u look Indian but with zero Indian accent😊.
Your review is world-class. You did your research like, diligently. From Nigeria, lots of love for you.
Thanks for sharing this video. Lots of questions answered here. 👍
I got to say... after watching this video n looking thru the comments ive decided to get my next tv LG bcus of WebOs.
Did u buy the tv? How is webos?
Excellent video my man... Thank you! This video was instrumental in helping guide my purchase decision. 🙌
What did you end up buying and how do you like it?
@Deanna Oddly enough, I got both the LG and the Samsung. LG for the price as I got a great deal on it, and the Samsung cuz it works with my other Samsung stuff and works similarly to Android.
I would have bought an Android TV as it would interface nicely with my mobile and google home, but there weren't any quality branded Androids. I trust Samsung and LG. I have a much harder time trusting hardware with odd randomly spelled foreign names.
I will throw out there that Vizio would be a great android option. Walmart backs its brand nicely thru extended warranties. I handed down my Vizio to my Mom when I upgraded... 20 years ago... it's still crankin along flawlessly!
You truly deserve a like, an excellent-well explained video
Sony Bravia Android TV OS all the way followed by Samsung Tizen.
Am not an apple fan am an Android fan but I think you should have included apple TV OS it's quite popular... Any way great video💯👍
It isn't an OS that comes with the TVs
We have kids that like to turn on the TV at 4 in the morning and specifically we cannot lock or control UA-cam. If they want to watch guns and horrid content all night they will. There are very few people reviewing the parental controls anywhere. We had to go to the store and try the different ability's of each tv. Sony came out the winner. But there is a missing area of review and that is parental controls.
for most devices you can even turn the TV on and there is no lock on the TV itself. The kids can get into it with buttons without the remote with no lock code to turn it on. If they are there and the TV is there they can watch it. Impossible to lock it. With the sony you can lock specific apps. and even load parental control apps in the android system. Our older Visio TV was horrible for this. We find the existing parental controls quite limited in general.
Whats the best tv to buy to easily mirror your Iphone?
Very informative being in 2022. Keep it up man
I would never use the app store or google playstore on my tv.
Everytime you download stuf you flood the onboard system with all data and it will become overheated, even lower the lifespan of your tv hardware.
There is so much crap left behind, and make its unstable. See as as your phone.
I even want to uninstall apps that i dont need, to let things run smooth, its better to buy a apple tv, or good android tv box.
It also has some other benefits, not all onboard Os suport hdr or other features, great tv boxes do.
I realy like webOS btw, it has a minimalistic overlay
Why not? You don't even get Chrome with Android TV, at least not on the Shield TV Pro 2019. Sites like PureAPK are just mirrors for the play store. Some apps will need keyboard and a mouse. These seem like settings that app makers could easily optimize but they simply don't. With a keyboard and mouse I get Real VNC (free) and MS Remote Desktop Manager so with a keyboard and mouse I have access to my PC. I've also found that apps like OpenVPN Connect work better then the ones in the actual TV store. It wouldn't connect to Kodi over my VPN to my house but OpenVPN Connect could with no issues. The only issue with the Shield is no UA-cam HDR. While Nvidia should of added support for the VP9 Profile 2 codec I still blame Google for forcing their codec on users when HVEC is pretty much the standard for all streaming HDR apps.
For Android OS, does it support frequent upgrades for long period, so we don't need to keep changing the screen every let's say 1 or 2 years?
2-3 years
My guess is 5-10 years for todays Android TV-models.
Even if it doesn't get updates, just use it as a display for 10+ years if you want. You can just get an external Android TV box for much cheaper than a whole TV and plug it in for updates.
Web OS is idiot proof. you can have a granny use an LG smart TV, it does what a smart TV has to do in a simplest and easiest way possible. Android is better if you want to use your TV more than it's purpose. Hey I'm not saying that granny is idiot!
Hahaha.
Bro I am very with my android and tizen OS.
Web OS is also good.
@@RajeshKumar-wr1gy hey dude. Do you work for Intuit? I know someone who have he name as you working dor Intuit. 😄
So which brands use Android TV, and what about Google TV (looking at TLC too)? If I want to install tv apps from Google Play Store that are made in my particular country, can I do so on all these TVs, including LG and Samsung, or not?
Wait you can not activate VPN on TIzen or Web OS? Which companies support Android TV? You can plug in chromecast or amazon fire stick in your tv and do search via VPN also???
I have the tizen system on my expensive at the time Samsung, they stopped support for it after only 3 years. Was a bit bummed out by this so gone for a LGwebOS TV this time. Will see how long LG give support on this one.
So what support do you realy need

web os is more beautiful
Yes no lag
Flawlessly run lg web os.
All app run smoothly
I agree. But i have only web os 3.8 so...
But it looks more like a kid's choosing candies
"The more colorful they are the better they are"
But i prefer Tozen for looks but ANDROID for literally everything
@@vita007 buy a fire tv stick
@@thelord6542 i dont need it tbh...
Performance is an important aspect and it goes easily to Tizen, Web os has many connections issues and Android Tv is super laggy and will never recommend it
@@Klust413 it could depend on the chipset, but also on how demanding and complex is the OS
I have a Samsung TV with the Tizen OS. There is limited memory space for app installs, apps that I have no intent of using that cannot be uninstalled, and apps that I would consider to be mainstream that are unavailable. There is no CNN app, no ABC app, no NatGeo app. There is a lengthy post on Samsung's community forum about the lack of memory issue and Samsung's refusal to address it. My TV will be returned if these issues are not resolved.
That's why l use the apps on my Samsung phone and cast it to the TV using the Chromecast device.
Which series? 4k 8000?
Stop watching news, they're no good
Great video, thanks
If if I have a fire stick? I can still use, correct?
yes
I am low tech as heck
But your video...was so through it allowed me to decide exactly what was right for me...
What OS would you recommend for an iPhone user?
Thanks
Just what i was looking for
Sony has an app that can be installed on any Android device to control your TV (not all models)
whats it called, pls?
I am looking forward to watching this.
To me most tvs have enough quality.
I am more interested in the Smart TV OS and their remotes and ease of use.
Me and my g/f use the tv to watch UA-cam and movies etc.
Which os is this smart tv os and which tv company use this?
bro you need thorough knowledge and experience for this topic.. you don't mentioned booting time and lagging of this all OS.. this must be covered.
Tizen is just the best when you own samsung tv with smart things and samsung DeX you could have the best experiment ever !
So after this video and a review of the comments, I’m have definitely decided to go with...
The....
Android...
or Tizen...
or WebOS!
All 3 sound like they will get the job done. I would then focus on the quality of the hardware, warranty, and how many years you expect to get out of a tv. My current LG 47” is still hanging on going on 10 years now.
Nice vid, sorry it took me nearly a year to find it. Android Tv seems to offer the most to the user. That will be my next purchase for sure.
Which better android or web os
Thanks bro for the video. The only professional one
Hi Smart DNS Proxy, what's in your opinion the most responsive and fastest OS for TVs? I find it amazing how my LG C1 is lagging in the menus. It's 2021 and my 3k EUR tv is lagging... :( I returned it a week after buying.
great english! finally an Indian who I understand to 💕💕
sUper! thanks for the video. Amazing content
Thank you 😊 so much 4 lovely & great video.
Good luck 2 u
Highly grateful for the review bro.
TCL or AIWA tv?
Thanks, wish I watched this before buying a couple a smart LG TVs ( I had planned on sideloading a few streaming apps) guess I'm stuck with UA-cam, Netflix, and Amazon)
amazon fire tv stick is a good option also there are other very good android stick/stb available
Tizen is objectively the worst interface ever devised by mankind, it's astonishing how badly it runs, how unintuitive nearly every feature is, even down to the baffling keyboard. Whoever designed the UI needs to put down the keyboard and think about what they've done.
Thank u very much you helped me too much🙏♥️ I was confused to buy LG 'webOs' or Samsung 'tizenOs' and now the vision is very clear
Which one would you say amongst those? Tizen or WebOs. I still couldn't makeup my mind.
@@sushmita8824 tizenOs absolutely i am using it right now.. I bought samsung 49 model 7100 4k with tizen platform after this video next day the time I comment on it .. Actually is easy and support my Samsung mobile and extra things over LG webOs... You know Samsung has long perfect history about developing operating systems and their screens colors is top quality screens .
@@MegaOsama99 thank you for your comment I think i made up my mind to buy the TU8000 of Samsung. Cant wait
@@jem1644 so how is it doing?
why no applications for TIZEN Os
Whatsapp MX Player and Some Basic Application Nothing Usefully App in that . Any Other Way To Install
I have a question pls can does the androids Tv works with IPhone as well or it has to be an android phone
But may client complain about the Android issue? That is may be why samsung did not adapt this android system..
Android it is ..."
Can you mention how well the three integrate with Google Cast?
For example, I have a webos tv and I can wake up the tv by casting to youtube.
Additionally, webos can stream via DLNA and the remote app can turn the tv on from my smartphone.
Is Tizen just as versatile?
Can vanilla Android TV handle dlna sufficiently?
You can do everything with Android tv
Exactly the same on Tizen. Getting a android TV next.
I bought Android TV os box to replace LG webos and it way superior than Webos by alot .
Web OS is much more elegant and stable than Android TV.
is there such a thing as a tv with out an OS but I can still plug my PC into that has coax and headphone plugins I have yet to find one, I dont want or need a tv with all of the extra " Stuff"
Does tizen support VLC or any other proper player ?
Can you let me know your thoughts on recent news that google tv will replace android tv ? Does this then mean if we buy a tv based on its OS then once android is obsolete we will need to deal with google os on the tv we bought (originally android) or is this a mute point
Great question ----- needs an answer
Problem with Samsung TIZEN TV's is that after 5yrs or so, the TV Apps are not updated and no longer work forcing you to purchase another expensive TV.
Why do you feel forced to buy another tv? Buy an xbox or a chromecast.
Samsung tizen OS is working absolutely fine from last 3 years
LG is smooth. When I tried Samsung a few years back it would lag between channels.
Good but not clear to me how my Apple computer & iphone with affect my TV operating system use. Is it an issue?
Thanks a lot. Your opinions help me a lot. God bless!
