That's really pretty typical of Samsung's approach to accessibility: an ad about blind people, without audio description is talking about us without us. In the same way, most Samsung products feel, when I use them, like they were designed without ever consulting any blind users. I'll admit that the remote for my Samsung amp is pretty nice though. But the amp has no screen reading function, so even though I can easily identify the function of each button on the remote (and a few even have Braille labels next to them), I can't actually use any features of the amp. Switching inputs and changing volume is all I can manage. Changing settings, the various apps, and even adjusting the equalizer are right out.
Edit: to be absolutely fair, when I cast something from the youtube app on my IOS phone to the samsung amp using the "YouTube TV" feature, the amp will turn on, switch itself to the correct input, and begin playback. I can play/pause, and fastforward/rewind from my phone. So that app kind of works. Similarly, when I turn on my TV, or activate the Apple TV, or play a DVD, the amp will turn itself on and set itself up correctly for whatever source I'm using. So I never need to even touch the nice accessible remote LOL. But the equalizer settings are really stupid by default, and I do kind of want to change them and can't. Sigh.
