So I can mirror my iphone/ipad screen to these new Samsung TVs without the need of an Apple TV?
looks like it, but I always experience some lag when i mirror movies or larger video files. Maybe its the graphic card, but it hasn't worked well for me.
Apple TV is pretty much a waste of space unless you use beamer (thank you Macrumors for those who told me about it), Tim has done nothing with it, and HAS NO vision for it.
Personally, if it wasn't for the app Beamer, Apple TV would be pretty much useless for me as I already other devices that can run netflix. Apple TV could have been amazing and really leveraged Apple's ecosystem, but if the fish is brain dead, it's not going anywhere.
