Cheap Samsung LCD TVs
Last time we checked, “widgets” were those little boxes of air which gave your tin of John Smith’s Smooth its creamy texture, but the internet age is not only take over our lives but also taking over everyone’s terminology it seems, as mentioning having a “widget” in your beer would now have you greeted with more than a few sideways glances. This is because “widgets” are now little mini software applications designed to integrate with and add functionality to existing programs and applications. The advantage of “widgets” is that they allow system designers to release fairly bare-bones software, which is significantly cheaper than having to design sprawling operating systems catering to everyone, and allows consumers to add only the functions they need and want, leading to a cheaper and more efficient experience all round.
Samsung LCD TV
Samsung have been using this “widget” system to great effect in their Internet@home service, a project allowing for integrated home internet surfing and shopping via their televisions. Their customers are treated to a certain level of functionality with the standard software that comes bundled with their Samsung LCD TV, but then can add on extra bits and pieces such as an application to give them travel updates or news headlines. Samsung are now taking this one step further by teaming up with Negravision to allow their customers to browse and order other Samsung products via their TV. Quite how many of their TVs they expect to sell to people who already have one we shall see.
As the technology develops in the future it will still work on TVs brought now, so if you’ve been looking in at cheap Samsung LCD TVs with a view to buying then you can relax in regards to future proofing. As always though, it’s best to look at cheap LCD TVs from other manufacturers too before taking the plunge.
