Features Of Smart Tvs Explained

So, you'd like to buy a new TV, but are quite put off by the range of sparkly new technology

, not knowing exactly what it all means. You may be sceptical about the benefits a smart TV can bring you or the addition this new technology may have on your TV watching. Well, here are some of the more popular specifications explained.

What is Smart TV?

You may have a smart phone and smart TV is the addition of such technology to your TV. This means that your TV is now connected to the Internet in a similar way to that of your smart phone. This means not only can you browse the Internet from your TV, but you also have the benefit of apps, such as social media apps, TV apps or video apps such as YouTube. It also allows you to watch content on demand such as BBC IPlayer, 4OD and others. This means you have a wide range of TV stations and thousands of hours of TV from the past and recent present at the touch of a button and at a lower price than you would expect with deal of the day pages.

Apps

Many TVs also allow you access to a whole range of other apps that are outside of the realm of normal TVs. Imagine if you could do your exercise routine from your TV, well with smart TV apps from Cork deals you can.

There is also a wide range of games, recipe apps and all sorts of other applications on your TV and if you want more, you just download them and add them to your TV. This makes your TV all the more versatile and really makes it the central entertainment feature in your home at a low price thanks to a deal page like Groupon.ie.

PVR/ USB/ Streaming

Many new TVs come with USB slots and these allow you to play files from your computer, whether they are video, music or even document files. This means you can download files on your computer and enjoy them on the large TV screen.

PVR and USB also allow you to connect up a hard disk drive and then to record the TV shows you want for watching whenever you want on the TV. Add to this the fact many TVs also come with the option to stream from other devices in your home via a wireless network and you really have almost unlimited content.

Software such as Samsung's All Share allows you to play media from a computer or phone onto your big screen wirelessly. Great for those embarrassing videos or for people who want to watch their videos from their hard drive collection.

50/100Hz

This is the refresh rate of the television and is the amount of times that the picture will refresh itself in a second. Essentially, the more times you refresh a page in a period the smoother it will look like it runs.

There is the option for processor software refresh rates and these can return hundreds of refreshes a second. However, it is often found they look a little processed and many people prefer the natural refresh rates.

3D Technology

Though it has lost its lustre a little 3D technology can make your TV all the more enjoyable. Gamers especially find that playing games in 3D can really enhance the experience for one reason or another. There are two types of 3D technology - active and passive. Both of these use 3D glasses to create the effect though one - passive - is quite similar to the old light style of glasses you get in the cinema and the other - active - uses active glasses. Neither is better to be honest and it often depends on a number of other factors when deciding such as deal of the day pages and the price you pay.

A new TV is something that can really make the difference to your home and really is something that adds to the enjoyment of your movies, TV games and also with smart TVs, Internet experiences.
