UPDATE April, 2025-
Samsung has discontinued manufacturing of Smart TVs compatible with Poppulo software. Poppulo has assured us that they will continue to provide support, but has also halted development of the software for the Samsung platform. The Amazon Signage Stick is an even more affordable alternative to using a Windows PC.
Smart TVs are a cost effective option versus a traditional Windows PC. Aside from setup and configuration, there is virtually no operational difference between the two devices.
Poppulo and Samsung SSP teams worked together to create a custom version of firmware, specifically designed to support the Poppulo platform. Below is a list of the certified displays which are supported to run the software as of January, 2024. No other Samsung models are supported. Poppulo has halted any further development of the Samsung SSP firmware and hardware, but will continue to provide support.
QMB Series - QM55B, QM65B, and QM75B. [Firmware version 2.4.1]
QB13R Series - QB13R [Firmware version 2.0]
QMR Series - QM43R, QM49R, QM55R, and QM65R.
