Making game for Windows-based Samsung Smart TV - what do I need to do?

Hi all,

I need to publish one of my GS games in such a way that it will play on a 2011 Samsung Smart TV series 8. As it's a couple of years old I believe it is Windows, not Tizen. The exact model number I will be using is UA55D8000YV (without the XXY at the end as seen below)

Here is some info on the series 8: http://www.samsung.com/au/support/model/UA55D8000YVXXY

Here is basically the exact model I will be using (but just an auction site): http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0004-2117964/audio-tv-and-home-theatre/samsung-ua55d8000yv-series-8-55-led-3d-tv-rrp-3949

I've only ever published for Mac computers before so this is definitely all new to me. Can anyone give me some tips on what I need to do? Will this 'smart tv' natively play a file created for Windows 8 or Android, or will I need to simply use this as a screen to mirror another device? (That second option isn't ideal as the machines that it would mirror only run XP as far as I am aware and there is no WiFi available in the building).

And to anyone who knows stuff about these smart tvs, can I hook a mouse and keyboard into it? (can't be wireless as they might get stolen.) Also I've heard the interaction on these machines can be quite delayed/slow?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! :)
