Use-case
Check whether your screen is compatible before ordering hardware or trying to pair a device.
Basic requirements
Aspect ratio — 16:9 (standard for most TVs, monitors and tablets).
HDMI port — required for connecting a FRAMEN TV Box, Fire TV Stick or other streaming device.
Screen size — 40 inches or larger is recommended; smaller screens work too.
No HDMI? Try this
If your screen has a DVI port, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.
Check your screen's specs to confirm adapter compatibility. Some screens don't support this and may lose picture quality.
USB ports don't work — the FRAMEN app isn't designed to run over USB.
If the FRAMEN app isn't on your Smart TV
Older Smart TVs may not list the FRAMEN app in their store:
Amazon Fire TV Stick — plug into the HDMI port and install the FRAMEN app. Works on most TVs with HDMI.
FRAMEN TV Box — dedicated device, works on any screen with HDMI.
Supported operating systems
The FRAMEN Screen Manager app is available on:
Android TV
Fire OS
If your screen runs neither, use a Fire TV Stick, the FRAMEN TV Box, or contact us for other integration options.
Apple TV
No Apple TV app is available. Use a Fire TV Stick or FRAMEN TV Box with any HDMI-compatible display.
