Smart TVs are a great option when using our TV Display. No cords or laptops are necessary for connection. Simply access the TV display link in the Smart TV browser.
In this article, we will discuss how to display the leaderboard on a Smart TV and provide some recommendations when looking for a new Smart TV.
Adding a Web Browser to your Smart TV
Your Smart TV may already have a web browser pre-installed. This web browser may be sufficient to display the TV Leaderboard. If you would like a web browser that is more familiar, you may also be able to add a different web browser app to your Smart TV like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Note: Each manufacture has different ways of accessing their app store. Please consult your TV Manufactures instruction guide or website for more details.
Displaying the Leaderboard on a Smart TV
To display the leaderboard on your Smart TV, follow these instructions:
Open your Smart TV's web browser.
In the address bar, enter your leaderboards direct link. The direct link is the prefix of your event/league followed by ".golfgenius.com/tv". So if the prefix is "2016memberguest", then the quick TV leaderboard link is 2016memberguest.golfgenius.com/tv.
Your event/league prefix can be found by going to Event/League > Event/League Profile > General Setting > Event Portal URL. You can modify or update your prefix (as shown below).
Press "Go" or "Enter" to navigate to your leaderboard.
Suggestion When Shopping for a Smart TV
If you are shopping for a Smart TV, we suggest the following:
Some Smart TV browsers do not support our TV Display and will display code instead.When shopping for a TV, take an example TV display link to the store and test it out before purchasing the TV. This will ensure you are getting exactly what you expect.
Find a Smart TV that makes it easy to access the TV display link. Having a Smart TV that comes with a keyboard or presentation pointer will make it much easier to access and connect the TV display. User-unfriendly TV remotes will take more time to access the link.
Make sure the Smart TV browser can be viewed in “full screen” mode. Some Smart TVs cannot go to "full screen" and will always show the URL at the top. This may not be an ideal presentation.
An option would be to find a Smart TV that is a FireTV Edition. This allows you to download the Amazon Golf Genius App directly to the TV for a similar experience to the Fire TV Stick.
