Re: What is a TV anyway?
One thing Samsung is going to have to do to make this TV meet accessibility standards is rewrite their manual. The current manual constantly refers to pictures or drawing rather than descripbe it in the text.For example I was trying to figure out how to turn

Re: What is a TV anyway?
What did I buy anyway? A TV or a bunch of software? I ask because in the set up portion of the TV's menus, there is a terms and conditions entry. In there you find about half a dozen agreements you have to accept and agree to be bound by before you'll have access
Re: What is a TV anyway?
Well, I guess Samsung is getting into the data mining business. To access all of the TV's features, you have to set up an account on Samsung.com and set up the TV to log into it. This is all part of their Smart Hub. Right in the agreements there is a notice
Re: What is a TV anyway?
Actually, the accessibility option for the Trecker Satnav system sounds like it was done by a third party and not by the people who designed the Satnav system in the first place. If that's the case, then it's little wonder the accessibility isn't as good
Re: What is a TV anyway?
@Gean, the problem Sebby is getting at is that a lot of access products do!actually suffer design wise, the trecker satnav system for example which is a really whacky screen overlay with buttons and one basic program bolted onto a conventional tablet, which
Re: What is a TV anyway?
That the Trecker Satnav system's accessibility is poorly design isn't because they added accessibility to an existing product. The blame for it having a poor accessibility design rests soley with the designers that thought it was a good idea.Deciding whether
Re: What is a TV anyway?
Amazing, the last time I dealt with Samsung, their technical support was basically non existent. I tried contacting them anyway about some of the problems I'm having with the TV, such as the program guide feature not working, and just got contacted by them wanting

Re: What is a TV anyway?
I can see one feature this TV needs right now and that is the ability to lock the settings. I was just exploring some of the features and suddenly the voice guidance stopped and now the TV doesn't respond to some of the remote's buttons. I'm sure I accidently
Re: What is a TV anyway?
I don't know how its development went, but I can tell you that in the setting menus there is a whole section dedicated to accessibility. There's the voice guidance that's basically a screen reader, you can adjust the voice to some degree, not as much as you can
Re: What is a TV anyway?
Sebby;I've thought about it a bit and I don't understand the relevance of your question. I mean what difference does it make? As long as it is accessible, does it really matter whether it was an existing model modified to be accessible or a new model
Re: What is a TV anyway?
How well a TV with voice command could listen to conversations would depend on where the microphone is, if it's on the TV, I'd think it would have a hard time hearing anything over the sound the TV is producing. The TV may mute the sound when it is expecting

Re: What is a TV anyway?
Something you might want to be aware of is that some of the more recent models of Samsung Smart TV's record audio for some of its voice recognition features and sends it off to a third party for processing, who also happens to use that information for marketing
Re: What is a TV anyway?
@Gene: it's relevant because ultimately a lot of "Accessible" products are less accessible than they could be owing to poor early design decisions. If the product is specialised, then there is the concern that it is compromised in functionality. So
Re: What is a TV anyway?
Well, I rescued the TV, all I had to do was turn it off for several minutes, then turn it back on. The voice guidance was still turned off, but I was able to use the shortcut to the accessibility menu to turn it back on.The electronic program guide service the TV
What is a TV anyway?
I just bought a Samsung UN50JU7100FXZA 50 inch LED accessible TV.Holy crap! This isn't a TV, it's a damned computer with tuners, a big monitor, and speakers.What makes this TV accessible is that it has a text to speech system that reads to me all of the TV's menu
Re: What is a TV anyway?
VERY NICE!I love new technology and gadgetry like nothing else!I didn't even realize TVs could do the things you mention.Have fun exploring all the features!

Re: What is a TV anyway?
I'd heard about this, but what I really want to know is which TV it was originally. I mean, how did it start life--as a mod of an existing TV, or as an entirely accessible product from the start?And, I hear, it has HDMI. You could buy an Apple TV and hook that up
Re: What is a TV anyway?
That actually does sound pretty cool, I've heard of such but getting the full description is good. I find it a little odd that it can't reccord though, sinse while the system isn't half as sophisticated, my parents have had a sky package that came with a tv
