TV Buying Guide

Many people look around the web for the definition of Smart TV. And while different sites may give different opinions, the consensus is that a Smart TV has internet connectivity, runs on an operating system, and comes with its own app service.

In short, TV + internet + apps = Smart TV.

The biggest value of a Smart TV is the ability to enjoy content beyond regular TV channels. A Smart TV provides your favorite VOD services such as Netflix, Amazon, YouTube plus music streaming services like Spotify, and even various games and sports content to enjoy as you please. Even paid cable and satellite broadcasting are available to watch on Smart TVs - you just need to install the app that cable or satellite broadcasting company provides.

No matter how much content there is, the important thing is being able to find it right away. With the endless amount of content available online, choosing what to watch is no easy task. That's why having a convenient search function is important.

A great Smart TV should automatically detect any device you connect via HDMI and eliminate the need to use several remote controls. Gone are the days of frantically searching for your remote controls. With just the TV remote, you should even be able to play/pause content streaming from your set-top box.

Another feature that is gaining popularity is voice recognition. It’s a lot more convenient than typing or using motion sensors to control your Smart TV. It comes in handy when you search for content or information.
