Beta testing: Steam Link App for Samsung Smart TVs

[postaboy]

Test Steam streaming on Samsung TV!
JUNE 12 - SLOUKEN
Samsung is adding Steam Link functionality directly to their latest line of Smart TVs.
If you are in the United States and have a 2016 or 2017 Samsung UHD TV, we'd like to invite you to help test the Steam Link App, now available as a free beta from the Samsung Smart Hub.

The App uses the same streaming technology as Valve's Steam Link, allowing users to play their favorite games, and even spectate VR games on the HTC Vive, wherever they watch TV.

During the beta, playback of 1080p video at 60 FPS and support for the Steam Controller are included. For worldwide release later this summer, support for streaming 4K resolutions and additional controllers will be added.

Note: Streaming to the TV requires a Steam Controller and a high-quality network, at least 5GHz. A wired network is strongly recommended.

Please let us know how this is working for you and post feedback and questions on the Steam Link discussion forum:

I just tested the steam link app on my KS85000 (wifi) and KU6290 (wired) using the Sony DS4 controller. Works great.

Not sure how much you bought yours but I got mine on sale for $22 with tax last xmas and just sold it this evening for $15 on Craigslist. Only lost about $7. You might be able to sell it for $20.
