See I dunno if I would buy it. I fired up Netflix on my iPhone just to see what was on. Hit play on a movie and it asked did I want to display on my iPhone or my Samsung tv. I had not set anything up, was surprised.
I've seen it before with Samsung, my S3 + TV work great together, but was very surprised to see this functionality in Netflix across platforms (tested on PC, same thing).
Catch: My TV is a "smart" TV and has Google apps on it (Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu etc... etc... ) So basically it's a TV with a pc inside it (that is upgradable from dual core, to quad core... more memory etc...). This is the TV : http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN46ES8000FXZA and no, I paid $1300 for it, not the insane retail price. Oh and I do use Skype on it, pretty handy
I guess if you still using an old TV it's an option and Google are aiming to take on AppleTV rather than Samsung.
