Tidal will be officially kicked out of Samsung's smart TV ecosystem in a future update, following the loss of support on several other smart displays

An email sent to Tidal customers explains the departure with a little extra clarity Several Reddit users provided screenshots of the email:

"After July 8, 2024, Tidal will no longer be available on Samsung Smart TVs To continue listening to your favorite tunes, log into Tidal from your computer, download the mobile app, or find another way to stream"

The email does not offer a specific reason as to why Tidal might be cut off from Samsung TVs, but as noted, that is not the only reason to lose access to the music streaming platform Amazon TV lost Tidal about two months ago lost support, and the best Roku TV and best Roku devices also lost Tidal about a month ago

Tidal's loss of support across these TV and device ecosystems may be a major blow to users who enjoy listening to music on their TV speaker systems as much as watching general entertainment Tidal's high ratings (we gave it a perfect score in our review), they should consider other options, namely Spotify or Apple Music

You can also use AirPlay to cast Tidal from other devices to your Samsung TV The Chromecast with Google TV 4K can also be used to cast Tidal from a cell phone or tablet to said TV, which would also bypass Samsung's Tizen interface

Thus, there are several options to consider for those who may not be able to watch their favorite music and music videos as a result of Tidal's withdrawal from Samsung TVs on July 8 In addition, Tidal has several alternative TVs, including Android TV, Google TV, Apple TV, Vizio SmartCast TV, and even LG TV (although for some reason Tidal's website does not list support for that platform), and the best streaming devices are still available

It's a disappointing loss because Tidal recently added an exciting new feature that allows you to share songs with others and they can open that particular song or music video in their music streaming app They also launched a much less expensive high-resolution music streaming service that competes with Apple Music for only $11 per month
