Digital Signage on the Smart TV You Already Own
InfoSlides turns the smart TV you already own into a digital sign, with native apps for LG webOS and Android TV and a browser route for other TVs, Samsung included. You upload a deck and pair the screen, with no player box to buy.

Pair a Screen in Three Steps
Shown here on LG webOS. The same flow runs on any of the four routes below.
Pair the Screen
Install the app and it shows a code and a QR code. Enter either from your InfoSlides dashboard.
Connected
The screen confirms it is paired and counts down before your slideshow starts on its own.
Live
Content cycles on its own from here. This is what plays on the screen, ticker and clock included.
Four Ways Onto a Screen
Pick whichever matches the TV in front of you. All four end at the same dashboard and the same account.
LG webOS: The Most-Installed App
Live in the LG Content Store today, and the most-installed of the three native apps. Install it with the remote, enter a six-character pairing code, and the screen is registered.
Android TV: For TVs and Tablets, Not Phones
Live on Google Play for Android TV devices and Android tablets mounted as signage. It runs on a TV or a wall-mounted tablet. Installing it on a phone is not a supported setup and is not what the app is for.
Samsung: Native App Awaiting Store Approval
InfoSlides has a Samsung Tizen app built and submitted; it has not cleared store review yet. Until it does, Samsung's own Tizen browser runs InfoSlides exactly the way the browser route below works: open a URL, enter a code, and the screen is live today, not someday.
Any Browser: No App Required
If a screen has a browser, it can run InfoSlides. Open infoslides.app/pair in the TV's built-in browser, enter the pairing code, and playback starts: no app, store or waiting on anyone's review queue.
Can I Put InfoSlides on My Samsung Smart TV?
Yes, today, through the browser, and that is not a workaround: it is the exact
mechanism every smart TV without a native InfoSlides app already uses. Open the Tizen
browser, go to infoslides.app/pair, enter the six-character code shown in your
dashboard, and the TV starts playing your content.
The native Samsung app is real and already built. It is sitting in Samsung's store review queue, not shipped yet, so this page does not link to a listing that does not exist. When approval lands, the only change is a faster first-time setup and a listing to install it from: nothing about your account, screens, or content changes because of it.
The honest answer
A Consumer Smart TV Is Usually Fine. Sometimes It Isn't.
Consumer smart TVs are built and warrantied around a home viewing pattern, not guaranteed round-the-clock operation. Check the panel's duty-cycle rating before mounting one behind a reception desk that never gets switched off, and read the warranty terms, since continuous commercial use can fall outside them.
Leaving static content on screen for hours is a real risk on OLED panels in particular (burn-in); an LCD/LED consumer TV tolerates a fixed menu board far better. Scheduling content to change through the day, and turning the screen off overnight, reduces the risk on either panel type. It does not remove it.
A consumer TV is the wrong choice for unattended 24/7 operation in a harsh environment (outdoors, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold), or for a business that cannot tolerate a screen failing with no commercial warranty behind it. For a restaurant open ten hours a day, a hotel lobby, or an office reception, a good consumer smart TV is usually the right fit.

Smart TV Digital Signage: Common Questions
Is there a free digital signage app for smart TV?
Yes. InfoSlides has a permanent free plan for one screen on any of the four routes on this page: LG webOS, Android TV, a browser, or Samsung's browser today. The free plan carries a small "Powered by InfoSlides" watermark, and live-data slides such as weather and news are on the paid plans.
Does digital signage software work on Samsung smart TVs?
Yes, today, through Samsung's built-in Tizen browser. Open infoslides.app/pair, enter the pairing code, and the InfoSlides screen is live. A native Samsung app is built and awaiting store approval, and nothing about your account or existing screens changes when it clears.
Can I run the InfoSlides Android TV app on a tablet instead of a TV?
Yes. The InfoSlides app runs on Android TV devices and on Android tablets used as wall-mounted signage. Phones are not a supported setup.
Do I need a special digital signage player box for InfoSlides?
No. If a screen has a browser, it can run InfoSlides at infoslides.app/pair with no app and no proprietary hardware. The native LG webOS and Android TV apps make first-time setup faster, but a player box is never required.
Is a regular smart TV good enough for digital signage, or do I need a commercial display?
For business-hours signage, such as a menu board, a lobby screen or an office display someone can power off overnight, a consumer smart TV running InfoSlides is a good fit. Unattended 24/7 operation, or an outdoor or harsh-environment install, calls for a commercial-grade display instead.
