Can I use Chromecast?

Kildahl-Nielsen — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 20:09:10 GMT

It might sound a bit stupid... But well... I've got a fairly old Samsung PS50B535, which I love. Yes, it's old, old, old... But it has got both USB and HDMI ports and I wonder, if I can use a Chromecast on it!

Please say yes... *SSS*

You'll likely need to provide it power from a different source than the USB on the TV, but if it's got HDMI, you should be good to go.

If you run into problems, it could be related to HDCP. In that case, you could purchase a splitter to go in between. This basically has the splitter negotiate HDCP with the Chromecast and then it sends an unprotected signal to the TV,
