Digital signage on Samsung (Tizen)
Works on sets from 2020 onward if the Internet app is present on your model. Older Samsung TVs can't run the player, so use an HDMI stick.
Also sold as: Samsung smart TVs from 2020 onward (Tizen 5.5 and newer)
Browser built in
The browser
Internet. Samsung ships a browser called Internet on most sets. Availability has varied by region and model year and it's absent on some recent models, so check the Apps row before committing to this route. Sets from before 2020 ship a browser engine too old to run the player. If Internet is missing, or the TV stays on "Starting the player…", use an HDMI stick.
Opening the player
- Press Home, open Apps, and launch Internet (search Apps for "Internet" if it isn't pinned).
- Enter play.sheencast.com in the address bar.
- On your computer, sign in at app.sheencast.com, open Screens, choose this screen, and click Generate Pairing Code. Type the digits it shows into the box on the TV. Codes last 10 minutes. If one runs out, use New Code.
- Bookmark the page and set it as the start page in the browser settings so it reloads after a restart.
Settings that keep the screen on
| Setting | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep timer | Settings → All Settings → General & Privacy → System Manager → Time → Sleep Timer | Set to Off. On older Tizen this is Settings → System → Time → Sleep Timer. |
| Power and energy saving | Settings → All Settings → General & Privacy → Power and Energy Saving | Turn off Auto Power Off / Auto Power Saving and set Screen Saver to Off. Older sets call this whole menu Eco Solution. |
| Auto protection time | Settings → All Settings → General → System Manager → Auto Protection Time | This blanks the screen after a static image has been shown for a set period. Set it to Off or the longest option, or the screen will go dark by design. |
Known quirks
- Samsung sets have a Store Demo / Retail mode that keeps the panel awake but overlays demo graphics. It isn't a substitute for the settings above.
- The Internet app can be closed by Tizen under memory pressure. If a screen keeps dropping out, an HDMI stick is more dependable than the built-in browser.
Next
Once the player is open, pairing a screen takes four steps. Setting up a different device: Amazon Fire TV, LG (webOS), Google TV / Android TV, iPad / iPhone, Roku and VIZIO.
