Television has come far from the days of just fixed channels and scheduled programs. Traditional TVs used to be a simple screen in the corner of the room which has now transformed into a centrepiece of modern home entertainment.
Today’s TVs do far more than just display a picture. You can connect them to the internet, stream content on demand, watch movies of your own choice, play games, music , live sports, run apps such YouTube and even watch Netflix, all in one place. The way people consume content now has drastically changed from what it used to be.
A Smart TV is a television which has a built-in internet connectivity and an operating system, you can think of a Smart TV as like a smart phone but for your living room.
A smart TV doesn’t need an external cable or streaming device, a smart TV simply connects to the WiFI at home and it gives you access to the online streaming platforms, apps, and online content. It doesn't have extra or external devices and subscriptions.
Certain Smart TVs models now incorporate motion sensors and gesture recognition. A wave of the hand can pause the content, wake the screen or adjust the volume levels, this seems pretty useful when the remote isn’t around.
Built in Operating System and Smart Platform: The operating system is one of the most important things to consider when buying a smart TV, it also seems to be one of the most overlooked features by the buyers. It is important to assess the TV’s operating system ( e.g. Android TV, Tizen, WebOS). A good OS decides for you to have a user friendly and intuitive interface.
Different TV brands run on different platforms, Android TV and Google TV are among the most widely used, it gives access to Google Play store, Google assistant and other softwares. Similarly Tizen is samsung’s operating system, it’s fast and well optimized for Samsung hardware. On the other hand WebOS is used primarily on LG TVs.
Screen Mirroring and Mobile Connectivity: Screen mirroring allows you to display exactly what’s on your phone or laptop directly onto the TV. No cables, adapters or setup process, it works wirelessly. Most Smart TVs also support Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to pair wireless headphones, speakers, or keyboards directly to the television.
Voice Control and Smart Assistants: Instead of navigating menus manually, you can search for content, adjust volume or feed any input just by speaking. Most modern smart TVs support voice assistants as well like Google Assistant or Alexa.
Display Technology: The display technology and resolution of a Smart TV directly affect how good your picture looks. LED panels are the most common and affordable option. QLED steps up brightness and color accuracy which is ideal for bright rooms. OLED delivers the best picture quality overall with richer contrast but it’s also expensive.
Resolution: For resolution, 4K is the standard worth buying if you’re buying a smart TV above 43 inches. Any TV below 43 inches works well with HD, while 8K remains impractical for household TVs due to limited content availability.
A regular TV only displays whatever signals it receives through cable antenna, or external HDMI. That’s the full extent of it. A smart TV does all of that plus it also connects to the internet, runs apps, plays games, watches Netflix, and acts as a complete entertainment hub.
For most households, a Smart TV is absolutely worth buying. All the entertainment remains in one place which is controlled by one singular remote. The way people consume content has drastically changed, people no longer need to wait for a certain channel to show a specific movie at a certain time. With Smart TV you can just simply turn on anything you’d like to watch.
