Hi, so I'm looking to upgrade my rather poor-pictured Samsung UE55NU7400. It supports Airplay 2 happily, but having seen some other TVs, the image quality on this thing is just not up to scratch.
However, I have a basic 3 requirements (budget irrelevent):
Must be centre stand.
Must have 4 HDMI.
And it must support, out of the box, Airplay 2 so I can stream happily from my iPhone.
My UE55NU7400 does, happily, but as I say the picture (and performance) is just no good. I want something better.
But the problem I have is Airplay 2, despite being announced for Sony and LG (and Samsung) TVs early last year, still doesn't seem to currently work on either of the first two. Forums are filled with complaints that AP2 isn't on them yet - Samsung *seem* to have exclusive compatibility.
NOW, I will say this - I simply want a stream button on videos (be they local on the phone or a streamed video on the phone) that allows me to select my TV and the stream instantly appears on the TV - like my present Sammie.
If there's a replacement for this that works in the same way as Airplay, I'm totally game for that.
For instance, I really like the look of the Panasonic TX55GZ950B but the only stream solution for that is Airbeam for Mirroring on Panasonic. If that works as Airplay does that's fine.
But yeah, I'm kind of drowning under the options and what does and doesn't work on different brands.
I'd appreciate any help to assist me in whittling the options down.
Thanks!
