Because Samsung makes an Android phone, and I don't prefer to use this kind
of phone.

Subject: Re: TV Question?
I have a Samsung TV here, its one of the cheaper 19 inch TV'S and I've had
no trouble using it, has self voicing menus.
Sorry, I don't follow your reasoning here, what has a Samsung TV got to do
with an Android phone? Are you saying that just because Samsung make an
Android phone you can't use a Samsung washing machine?
Anyway that aside, the design of the TV is very simple, has a USB port which
accepts multi media - audio and video -, a HDMI port for input from a HDMI
device such as an Apple TV, the output of a surround-sound receiver etc.
The remote control - though rather large - is easy to get around and there
are Braille signs for the main buttons, a V for volume up/down, c for
channel up/down and so forth, perhaps people may find these markings of use
when getting around the controller.
As for operating systems the Television uses? It uses a version of LYNUX as
I understand it but that's really not the issue, so long as the Television
can be used then who cares! what the inderlying operating system is.
I've had this TV for 3 years now, actually thinking of upgrading to
something larger as I may have explained some time ago, Television cost me
$150 which I thought - even 3 years ago - was a give away price.
As for Smart Phones working with your TV? My TV doesn't have anything at all
to do with any Smart Phone, its just a conventional type of Television with
a remote control unit, if you want Smart Phone functionality then you can
plug in an extra device such as a Chromecast etc.
There might be a way you can connect a Smart Phone to the USB port for some
sort of control or perhaps playing back media files stored on that device,
this is something I've not played with yet.

anybody has one, will the IPHone work with that TV" I question it,
because of the fact that Samsung makes an Android smart phone.
