Imagine having a powerful AI assistant right on your TV screen, ready to answer questions, plan vacations, or even help you draft the perfect fantasy football lineup. Sounds like the future, right? Well, it's here—and it's called Perplexity. But here's where it gets controversial: while this cutting-edge app is currently exclusive to Samsung's 2025 TV lineup, older models are left waiting. Is this a fair move, or should Samsung prioritize inclusivity? Let’s dive in and explore how you can bring Perplexity into your living room—and snag a free year of Perplexity Pro while you're at it.
Perplexity has just unveiled a game-changing update for Samsung's 2025 TV models, including the sleek S95F and S90F OLEDs. This update integrates their advanced AI answer engine directly into your viewing experience, giving you more ways to interact with artificial intelligence in your daily life. Think of it as having a conversational genius at your fingertips—one that goes beyond answering questions to tackle tasks like planning trips, finding local spots, or even recommending the best streaming services for your favorite shows. For instance, ever wondered which platform has the complete Friends series? Perplexity can tell you in seconds.
And this is the part most people miss: Perplexity isn’t just another chatbot. Unlike Google's Gemini or Amazon's Alexa+, it combines versatility with depth, handling everything from trivia to complex planning. Need a Japanese-English dictionary for your Tokyo trip? Or maybe you’re craving fish and chips and want to know which nearby bars serve them? Perplexity has you covered. But remember, this feature is currently limited to Samsung’s 2025 TVs, though the company promises a rollout to 2024 and 2023 models later this year—timeline TBD.
What makes this integration truly exciting is the free 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro, which unlocks premium features. Here’s how to get started:
How to Install Perplexity on Your Samsung TV
Preliminary Checks: Before anything else, ensure your 2025 Samsung TV is running the latest firmware. Head to Settings > Support > Software Update to check. You’re looking for Tizen 9.0, firmware version 2106.0—the same version available on 2024 models, though the app isn’t compatible with those yet.
Search for the App: From the Home screen, navigate to the search console by pressing left on the navigational key and scrolling up to the eyeglass icon. It’s your gateway to finding Perplexity.
Install Perplexity: In the Apps section, search for the Perplexity app and click Install. Once added, consider pinning it to your Home Screen for quick access.
Add to Home Screen: After installation, Samsung will prompt you to add the app to your Home Screen. If you miss this step, simply long-press the Perplexity icon in the Apps section and select Add to Home Screen.
How to Claim Your Free Year of Perplexity Pro
Open the App: Launch the Perplexity app on your Samsung TV. The first time you open it, a QR code will appear.
Scan the QR Code: Use your phone’s camera to scan the code, which will redirect you to the Perplexity website. From there, redeem your 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro.
Controversy Alert: While the free subscription is a fantastic deal, it raises questions about exclusivity. Should Samsung prioritize making this app available to all users, regardless of their TV model? Or is it fair to reward early adopters of their latest technology?
