Thanks Mary. Did not find the specific 5500 on Amazon but I am not
in a hurry. This window shopping will keep my mind off certain world
events. Too many models, even 720p which I did not expect to see.

Yes. Pressing a button on the remote for the device that you want to switch to
switches it there. It will even turn the TV on if the TV is off. I have
DirecTV, and Amazon fire stick, and fourth generation Apple TV. I can't speak
to the third generation one. Also, it seems to me that this ability to do this
switching when you punch a button on the remote started happening after a
recent firmware update. Why that should be, I haven't a clue. I will have to
get the model number for you, as I don't remember it. And my sided partner is
still sleeping. I am Magine my TV was on the opposite end of the Samsung
spectrum from Scott. It is not 4K. And I think it's only a 32 inch screen. I do
have a nice sound bar for it. I got it on sale at Best Buy sometime around the
holidays. Quite honestly, if I were going to buy a TV now, I would want to know
a lot more about the new Amazon TV set. I'm really impressed with the work that
they're doing over there with voiceview. I think it has the best sound, and is
the most flexible. But I don't know about the capability of the actual TV to do
the thing you want to do. If That worked, and I were buying a TV now, I would
not hesitate to get the Amazon one.

Mary,
Do you have the model number? With the Apple TV, if you want to switch back
to it, what triggers that? Pressing a button on the remote?

I have a Samsung smart TV which I bought at the end of last year. It does what
you are saying you would like yours to do. I can't swear that they all do it.
Mine has three HDMI inputs, all full. And if I start doing something on one of
the devices that's plugged into one of the HDMI ports, it switches there.

Am I correct in thinking that with one of these TVs, it will switch to an
active input source, such as Apple TV? Samsung brand? My current TV is 9 years
old, might be time to replace it.
