Hotel TV: Samsung, LG, Philips & Chromecast built-in

Why a “hotel” TV is not a consumer TV

A hotel TV (or *hospitality* TV) is built for professional use, not for the home. It is managed centrally, locks into a hotel mode, is branded in your colours and integrates with your channel system and your PMS. A consumer TV, on the other hand, resets poorly, keeps the previous guest’s accounts and cannot be managed remotely.

Hotel mode: personalised welcome screen, locked settings, controlled volume and channels.
Central management: configure and update the entire fleet remotely, without going room by room.
Security & privacy: no data from the previous guest, automatic reset at check-out.
IPTV & PMS compatibility: the TV talks to your channel platform and your management system.
Durability & pro warranty: designed for intensive use, with a warranty suited to hospitality.

Our partners: Samsung, LG and Philips

We deploy the hospitality ranges of the three market leaders: Samsung Hospitality, LG Hospitality and Philips. Each has its strengths depending on screen sizes, features and budget. Our role: help you choose the right model for your fleet, then deploy and integrate it — with a single point of contact.

Whether you are starting from a new fleet or a gradual refresh, we match the chosen models to your needs (room size, brightness, Chromecast, IPTV compatibility) rather than the other way around.

Chromecast built-in: the “just like home” experience

This is the big shift in the latest models: most recent hotel TVs come with Chromecast built in. Guests cast their own apps — their series, their music, their photos — onto the room TV in seconds, with no installation and no extra device. It has become an almost standard expectation for travellers.

The key point: security

In a hotel, casting must be isolated: each session is confined to its room and cleared when the guest checks out. That is what sets a professional solution apart from a consumer Chromecast. See our secure multimedia casting.

TV + HumeIPTV: the complete experience

The TV is the screen; HumeIPTV is the experience. Our hotel televisions are compatible with our HumeIPTV platform, which adds a portal in your colours: personalised channels, a digital room directory, hotel information, weather, alarm clock, room service, PMS integration and secure casting — all in a single, multilingual interface.

The result: a room TV that is no longer just a set, but a genuine surface for services and brand image.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a hotel TV and a regular TV?

A hotel (hospitality) TV is managed centrally, locks into a hotel mode, is branded in your colours, integrates with IPTV and the PMS, and does not expose the previous guest’s data. A consumer TV offers none of these guarantees.

Do all hotel TVs have Chromecast built in?

Most new Samsung, LG and Philips hospitality models include it, but it depends on the range and the model. We check Chromecast compatibility when selecting the televisions.

Do we need to replace every TV to install HumeIPTV?

No. HumeIPTV is compatible with existing fleets, over IP as well as coaxial. An audit determines what can be kept and what is better replaced.

How many televisions do you deploy?

humelab hospitality deploys over 25,000 hotel TVs a year, from independent hotels to multi-site groups, across 14 countries.

Which brand should we choose: Samsung, LG or Philips?

It depends on your screen sizes, the features you need (including Chromecast) and your budget. We guide you through the choice and deploy the brand best suited to your fleet.
