This TV will take anything your computer can play, and stream it to people in second life. As far as we know it's the only TV on the market with such outstanding capabilities. It's what TV's in Second life should have been from the beginning.

I've tried a number of screens in SL that claim to offer synced watching among all viewers. I found one that could but only with YouTube videos. Then I came across this. I was willing to take a chance. Once I got it set up using the way too skimpy instructions, it worked! I was able to share a synced video inworld from pretty much any source I might want including videos I had locally on my system. Most of this is thanks to the Kosmi web based sharing app. All this really does is take a feed from that, but that's enough. It's let my partner and I watch videos together in sync at reasonable quality. There are some caveats that aren't made clear in the listing:

You will need to set up an account on Kosmi. It's free.
You will need to use the Chrome browser when using Kosmi
You can share any Chrome tab including one running a video locally
As near as I can tell, the only video file format Chrome will play is MP4. Once I realized this, I installed Handbrake to convert files in other formats to MP4.

I am incredibly impressed. After a certain brand of tv went up in a blaze of unglory, I needed a new tv that supported kosmi. This is very well done and incredibly simple to set up. I recommend it highly for anyone needing a tv to stream things for friends.

After literal thousands of linden spent on trying these new "prim media TV's" only to find out that my other friends needed to also buy a login hud in order for anything to work, I saw this on reddit and it took me all of five minutes to figure it out and now me and my friends are watching spy kids haha. Thank you for this product, it make viewing parties so much better <3

just like everyone else is saying

this tv is great is is pretty much exactly what I needed, plus some extra functionality with the ability to screenshare anything from my pc.

one thing I'll point out though is that my wife was using the older firestorm version 6.6.17 and it wouldn't load the screen properly for her so she wasn't able to view things even in fullscreen. so make sure you're on the latest viewer to be able to use this tv.
