With an ethernet cable plugged into the back of our S95B, playing competitive Halo matches was… better.

I decided to give a hardwired connection a shot. Our network was running at about 30Mbps and barely keeping things together. In other words, playing competitive matches online was completely out of the question, lest I watch my precious career statistics take a hit.įor wireless connectivity, the Xbox Gaming App recommends a 5GHz Wi-Fi signal with a download speed of at least 20Mbps. Frames dropped constantly, and visual artifacts scattered across the screen throughout the match. Severe input lag for a fast-paced, twitchy shooter like Halo is devastating, and my Samsung TV-operating on a wireless internet connection-was serving up plenty of it. Unfortunately, the actual gameplay wasn’t much better. Hands on with Xbox Cloud Gaming on a Samsung smart TVĪt first, playing competitive matches online was completely out of the question. Once my controller was successfully paired with my Samsung S95B, I could navigate the hub by way of my controller. The manner in which your controller pairs with another device plays a role here. Follow the instructions on the screen, but be sure to consult the pairing process of your preferred controller, too. To pair your controller, jump into the Gaming Hub and select the controller icon on the far left side of the Hub’s home screen. I used an Xbox Series X controller as I intended to spend the most time with Xbox Cloud Gaming. Samsung notes that “other third-party Bluetooth controllers may be compatible,” but there’s no guarantee unless it’s confirmed by Samsung.

Note: While we haven't tested the Samsung S95B after installing update 1302.5, we've read reports from some users that this update changes the appearance of the S95B's Movie picture mode. Gaming Hub should appear once you’ve given your TV a hard reboot. Fortunately, there’s a quick solution: Turn off your TV, unplug it from the wall, wait about thirty seconds, and plug it back in. However, if your experience is anything like mine, the Gaming Hub icon will still be absent, even after updating and restarting the TV. Your mileage here may vary, depending on the strength of your internet connection.Īfter the update, the Samsung Gaming Hub should appear on the sidebar of your TV’s home screen, marked by a small controller icon.

In my experience, downloading and installing version 1302.5 to the Samsung S95B took about fifteen minutes-longer than an update of this size typically takes.
