You might have already noticed, but these days it seems like everything has gone smart, from smartphones to smart glasses and now, we even have smart televisions. But what is it about them that makes them so smart? If you’re wondering whether these TVs are worth your money, we’ll try to answer all of the questions you could possibly think of about our cheap smart TVs.
So, What is a Smart TV?
A smart TV is a television that can be connected to the internet, allowing you to access video streaming services, such as Netflix, and use apps like Facebook and Skype. These TVs also provide access to a wider range of channels, offering more programmes, movies and music without the need to subscribe to a cable service – users can benefit from web browsing and gaming as well.
But How Does a Smart TV Actually Work?
Our cheap smart TVs can connect up to the internet just like any other PC or device. You may need to use a wired Ethernet connection, but many smart TVs have built-in Wi-Fi which will mean that they can connect to your home network. You might find that you need to move your Wi-Fi router if it is some distance away from your TV set to make sure that you get the best service possible.
What Apps Can I Get?
While different brands will offer different apps, there is a standard list of apps that pretty much all smart TVs provide. Additionally, you will find some apps already installed in your TV, but you can also add more via the app store – in essence, you can customise your smart TV according to your personal preferences and to meet the demands of your household.
Some of the apps that you can start enjoying as soon as you purchase your next smart TV include:
– Skype
– YouTube
– BBC iPlayer
– ITV Hub
– Netflix
– Amazon Prime Video
Some smart TVs even allow you to transform your smartphone into a remote, so you have the ability to change channels without wasting time searching for the elusive remote…
Which Brands Manufacture Smart TVs?
Virtually any major TV manufacturer is creating smart TVs, as the trend is to make every new set ‘smart’. This means that these types of TVs are now pretty much the norm, so more and more brands will continue to add them to their repertoire – and will continue to strive to make them increasingly better. These include:
With so many choices, you may be unsure which TV is best for you. We can help you to narrow down your options, so don’t hesitate to send an enquiry to the Electronic World team.
What Are the Benefits of Smart TVs?
There are so many advantages to having a smart TV that we couldn’t possibly list them all. Take a look at some of the ways you can benefit from purchasing a smart TV:
– Having a smart TV eliminates the need for lots of different devices and set-ups. You can streamline everything into one handy little (or not so little) TV. So, say goodbye to all those wires that are usually hanging around behind your TV, since you don’t need them anymore.
– Smart TVs are the future of our television technology. It’s pretty likely that if you’re looking to buy a television in the next few years, you’ll be looking at a market that is full of smart TVs. Get ahead of the times now and be part of the future.
– There are so many other things that you can do with your shiny new smart TV. They’re pretty great at multi-tasking, so whether you want to check your Facebook newsfeed, play online games or video call with your best friend in Thailand, you never have to leave your living room!
– Smart TVs are new TVs, so when you’re buying one, adding internet connectivity is not the only way you’re upgrading. Chances are that your new smart TV will have better picture quality and will run much more smoothly than your older model.
– TV technology is being constantly improved, so newer sets may come with features such as voice assistance for increased convenience and comfort.
– Many smart TVs will also mirror or share pictures and video from a connected smartphone to your TV screen, and you can also expect to find great built-in sound systems in the latest smart TVs.
Are All Smart TVs the Same?
With so many options on the market, it can be tempting to just choose a smart TV at random. However, they’re not all the same, so it’s important that you do some research first to ensure that you’re getting all the features you want. Some smart TVs will come with different apps and others allow you to cast from your smartphone, as mentioned. Others also have a more user-friendly operating system, so it all boils down to what you’re looking for in your next TV.
We’re more than happy to help you make a decision so let us know if you have any questions and Electronic World will promptly answer them for you.
What Do I Need to Enjoy My Smart TV?
Installing your brand-new smart TV is incredibly easy, but you still need to take a few things into consideration to ensure you’re making the most of it.
Internet – It goes without saying that you need an internet connection to get your TV online.
Good Broadband Speed – If you want to stream movies and TV shows, you’re going to need a decent broadband speed. This way, you can enjoy your favourite content without issues such as lagging or low-quality images.
TV Licence – Another obvious consideration, but worth the mention! In order to watch live television, even if you’re watching it on BBC iPlayer, you need a TV licence.
