    Hi,

    As I am interested in developing games for SmartTV, I have been doing some research around what TV brands are supported by Unity.
    I have found articles from 2012 that said Unity is available on LG TVs via Union, but I am assuming that is no longer the case?
    Panasonic TVs do not seem to be supported at all.
    Sony TVs seem to be supported, as they are AndroidTVs and Android TV is a supported platform - correct?

    In any case - could anyone direct me to a list of supported (officially or not) TV OEMs - an official or semi-official device list would be ideal.
    I'm trying to assess the potential footprint if I am to use Unity for SmartTV development.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Tormael,

    what i know is working (i made apps for):

    - Apple TV
    - Amazon Fire TV (just export for android and implement controller support)
    - Samsung Smart TV (publishing in App Store only with special contract, not open for everybody)
    ( for Samsung you need a special contract with Samsung, they only give selected developers)

    Thanks FrankMeyer, that's what I was hoping to hear. I reckon SonyTVs will be similar to Amazon Fire TV.
    That's very helpful.
