My Samsung Smart TV is stupid as dirt so I run a zbox on it....
Moved it to the bedroom as I don't use it as much...
All my other Smart TV's (4) are LG smart TV's with the Magic mouse...
They have full voice command etc.. and the built in web browser is find ...
Just remember that streaming videos in the browser is hit and miss (lag etc) So if you want to stream use the app not the browser...
Can also control them with my phone and do a few other things that are not exactly needed.

I like the idea of using Skype on the TV. Very Back to the Future Part 2 'ish.

You should be able to connect direct to the LG TV and show your display.. I do this now from my laptop .. Not sure if it supports Mac .. But supports my non apple/mac phone and laptops fine...
Also has no issues with finding media on the network (wish the media UI was better but it works fine.)
