But what if you want to watch VIU on your big screen Samsung Smart TV? Well, you're in luck! In this article, I'm going to show you how to install the VIU app on your Samsung Smart TV so you can enjoy your favorite shows in the comfort of your living room.

Why Watch VIU on Your Samsung Smart TV?

Before we dive into the installation process, let's talk about why you might want to watch VIU on your Samsung Smart TV in the first place. Here are a few reasons:

• Bigger screen, better experience: Watching your favorite shows on a big screen TV is simply more immersive and enjoyable than watching on a small phone or tablet. You'll be able to see all the details and nuances of the show, and you'll feel more like you're part of the action.
• Shared viewing: With a Smart TV, you can easily watch VIU with your family and friends. This is a great way to bond and share your love of Asian dramas and shows.
• Convenience: Instead of huddling around a small screen, you can relax on your couch and control the playback with your Samsung Smart TV remote.
• High-quality streaming: Samsung Smart TVs are known for their excellent picture quality and smooth streaming performance. You can enjoy VIU in high definition without any buffering or lag.

Checking Compatibility

Before we get started, it's important to make sure that your Samsung Smart TV is compatible with the VIU app. Most modern Samsung Smart TVs should be compatible, but it's always a good idea to double-check. Here's how:

1. Check your TV model: Find the model number of your Samsung Smart TV. You can usually find this on the back of the TV or in the TV's settings menu.
2. Visit the Samsung App Store: On your TV, navigate to the Samsung App Store. Search for the VIU app. If you find the app, it means your TV is compatible. If you don't find the app, it could mean that your TV is not compatible or that the app is not available in your region.

If your TV is not compatible, don't worry! There are still other ways to watch VIU on your TV, such as using a streaming device like Chromecast or Roku. We'll talk about those options later in this article.
