Breaking Down The Smart TV

With all of the new technology these days, it’s not uncommon to hear the term “smart” when talking about devices such as televisions. Sure, this term could define the credentials of a certain device, but it can also create some confusion when it comes to buying a new television. This article will help clear up some of that confusion about smart TVs and help figure out exactly what they do.

Internet Capabilities

If you want to know whether or not your television can connect to the internet, just look for the word “Wi-Fi” or the five ripple symbol. This is the same symbol you see in the corner of your cell phone screen that indicates a Wi-Fi connection.

What Apps Come With It?

One of the greatest features of a smart TV is that it comes with apps that are usually pre-loaded. These apps can include Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and more. This takes the hassle out of having to install them all on your own. Before selecting your TV, look on the box for the corresponding logos that indicate they have already been installed.

Bluetooth Capabilities

If you want to be able to connect speakers, headsets, and other devices wirelessly, look for the Bluetooth symbol on the TV box. This allows you to connect your devices without the hassle of wires and cables.

HDMI

Most modern smart TVs have HDMI ports. They allow you to connect game consoles and more advanced DVD players to the television. It provides high definition picture quality from them. You should find a television that has multiple HDMI ports so you can plug in multiple devices at one time.

Wall Mounting

Lastly, look for a television that can be mounted on the wall. TVs that rest on the floor or on a TV stand can take up unnecessary space. Not only that, but they are more likely to be damaged by accidental falls. Wall mount kits can be purchased separately and they are very simple to set up. It comes with all of the hardware you need as well.

Television Resolution

The resolution is the picture quality of your television. The number of pixels is what determines the television’s resolution. In simple terms, the more pixels, the better the quality. For optimal displays, look for these two letters, “HD”. This stands for high definition and it makes for amazing picture quality. If you want something less expensive, opt for an HD 1080 display. If you want something more expensive with outstanding picture quality, consider 4K Ultra Smart TVs. 

To Sum it Up

There’s no doubt that a mass amount of information is available at our fingertips. It can be a hassle to sift through all of the information to find a good, reliable smart television. I hope that I have cleared up some confusion you may have had about all the smart TVs that are out there. Remember, not all smart televisions are the same. Some may have just Wi-Fi while others have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
