Dear Mr. Kulkarni, Yes, the Google TV Streamer 4K will work perfectly fine with your Samsung TV. Since it connects via HDMI, it does not matter whether your TV has the Play Store or TalkBack or not. The Google TV Streamer is a standalone device that brings its own operating system, its own Play Store, and its own TalkBack. Your Samsung TV simply acts as a display screen.
So you do not need to worry about your TV's built-in features at all. Everything runs from the streamer itself. Hope that clears your doubt. .
