It is not a "smart tv", it has no built in tracking features or apps, as pretty much all other TV's comes bundled with.
The remote app is used to control color profiles and brightness (something one rarely do, after initial calibration), and there is nothing else to actually control as it is indeed a plain old monitor.
- yumraj 7y agoOk. Then why not just add a simple remote to do that. What advantage does an app have for that feature over a simple remote driven UI.
- jordanbeiber 7y agoI always have two things on the table: apple remote and my phone. Should I need to calibrate i have the app handy as opposed to a long gone remote, that when I find it have no batteries. This would be the only benefit.
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoUnless the app goes out of date and no longer works on current smartphones/tablets, which does happen. I'd rather have the remote; batteries are cheap.
- yumraj 7y agoAlso, most TV remotes seem to follow a standard, and as long as I can get into the TV UI, I can change settings. So, even if the TV remote stops working, any kind of universal remote can help.
- jordanbeiber 7y agoI can only agree, and they really should add buttons to the bezel or back. If they run a web server with an API that can be used I’m perfectly happy with that though.
