Smart TV is an experience, it is what entertainment lovers have always wanted but have never had before. Find out more about the exciting next big thing in TV viewing with this informative guide now.
The smart TV phenomenon continues to sweep the nation and having control over all of our favourite apps, TV shows and web connections from the comfort of your own living room is surely something to embrace.
There are various media components that are integrated within a Smart TV just as you would find in a computer, Smartphone and all mobile technology. This new TV allows the consumer to be connected to the web and make internet searching much easier and convenient on a bigger screen.
The main factor and most attractive point of a Smart TV is that it is interactive, complementing broadcast programming with the ability to instantly find and watch television shows and movies, download internet applications, and being able to easily switch between channels and websites for a completely new way of using a television set, instead of just watching it.
The Smart TV will give people the ability to search inline and upload personal content as well as broadcast programs all from a singular TV interface. The TV also allows access to download various compatible applications similar to downloading applications on to your Smartphone. You will also be able to connect to the various social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, whilst watching your favourite TV programs. The coolest part of owning a Smart TV is the voice commands with which you control your TV.
TV Apps – how do they work?
All the Smart TVs have a homepage that allows you to access the different functions, and provide links to the individual app stores from which you can download as many applications just as you would for your Smartphone. At the moment, all of the apps available for the Smart TVs are free, but the manufacturers are hoping to translate the popularity of paid apps on mobile devices to the televisions. There are currently apps for Internet radio, weather forecasts and entertainment as well as many popular games.
Can I use apps across TVs or devices?
At the moment, all of the different TVs have their own unique operating environments, and you cannot transfer apps from a mobile device to a TV or vice-versa. However, most Smart TVs have their own remote applications on the Android and Apple app stores that will enable you to control the TV from anywhere in the house.
What if I don't want a new television?
Have you already bought a flat panel TV? Not to worry there is another way to make your new TV Smart. You can get all the features without having to buy another television, thanks to a set top box with all the functions of a Smart TV. The box, that will require a cable to be attached to the back of your TV, will provide you with exactly the same functions and user features like a regular Smart TV.
How do I control the TV?
Unlike a touch phone, where you can control in the palm of yours, Your Smart TV is some distance away from you as you watch it. There are several methods in which you can operate your television. Some have voice command capabilities, but the most popular is the motion remote, just like a Nintendo Wii remote. It allows the user to point at objects on the screen using wireless interactive technology which is very handy when it comes to navigating the internet on your TV.

Conclusion
Smart TV is one of the most exciting changes to take place to TV in decades, comparable to the switch in the 1960s and early 1970s to colour TV. The above guide offers some of top tips to keep in mind if you own or are thinking of buying a Smart TV. One thing is certain however if you do decide to opt for an upgrade and choose to buy a Smart TV – with interactivity at it’s core, alongside more consumer choice, you are unlikely to regret it.
