One of the things that elevates thebest TVsis their software: no matter how great the hardware, a crappy operating system or an unfriendly interface can ruin the experience. And some of the best smart TV interfaces right now are on thebest Samsung TVsand thebest LG TVs, which feature Tizen and webOS respectively.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get that experience on cheaper TVs? Soon, you’ll be able to.Samsunghasannouncedthat it’ll be licensing its Tizen smart TV system to other manufacturers, “allowing more consumers to enjoy a premium smart TV experience”.
We’re not talking the world’s biggest brands here, although there are a couple of recognisable names such as Akai and RCA. Other firms include Bauhn, Linsar, Vispera, Sunny and Axen. The first such TVs will go on sale in Australia imminently, with other countries – New Zealand, Spain, Türkiye and the UK – following suit later this year.
What TV tech is Samsung selling?
Samsung isn’t the only tech giant doing this. LG licences its webOS too, and has done since last year. Once again it’s budget brands that make up the majority of licensees: Konka, Blaupunkt, Seiki and so on.
