What is a smart TV?
A smart TV is a television that includes built-in internet connectivity and operating system that allows you to access and run apps, stream content online, and perform other web-based functions without the need for additional devices.
Smart TVs combine traditional television features with internet-enabled capabilities, making them versatile for entertainment and other uses. In essence, a smart TV is a multimedia hub, merging the functionality of traditional TVs with the convenience of online access.
Smart TV features
- Streaming apps: They come with pre-installed apps like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and others, as well as app stores to download more.
- Internet connectivity: Smart TVs can connect to Wi-Fi or via an Ethernet cable to access the internet.
- Web browsing: Many smart TVs include a web browser for surfing the internet.
- Voice control: Some models integrate virtual assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa, or their proprietary systems for voice commands.
- Screen sharing and casting: You can share content from smartphones, tablets, or computers to the TV via features like Miracast, AirPlay, or Chromecast.
- Smart home integration: Advanced models can integrate with other smart home devices, acting as a control hub.
- Software updates: They often receive software updates to improve features and security.
Smart TV benefits
- Smart TVs eliminate the need for separate streaming devices.
- Offers a centralised platform for TV shows, movies, music, and apps.
- Simplifies setup and reduces clutter.
Do smart TVs have any drawbacks?
Smart TVs can be more expensive than regular TVs, with performance varying depending on the operating system and hardware quality, and they may raise privacy concerns due to potential data collection and monitoring.
Can I turn my regular TV into a smart TV?
Yes, you can turn a regular TV into a smart TV by using external streaming devices that connect via an HDMI port. Popular options include the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast, Roku Streaming Stick, and Apple TV, which provide access to streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. These devices are easy to set up and often include additional features like voice control and screen mirroring. Gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox also double as streaming platforms, offering app support alongside their primary gaming functions.
Other options include smart TV boxes such as Nvidia Shield, which support gaming and advanced app features, or modern Blu-ray players with built-in streaming capabilities. Cable and satellite set-top boxes sometimes come with smart TV functionality, and you can also connect a laptop or PC to your TV via HDMI to access online content. These solutions are cost-effective ways to upgrade your TV without buying a new one, offering flexibility to choose the device that best suits your needs.
