Since Charles Francis Jenkins invented the first TV, not much had changed, perhaps a few things have been added or removed in all the years until recently. There was not any apparent improvements except for the size of the screen and the audio quality. Buyers were not concerned what they got with the television unless the screen was huge and sound was loud enough to annoy a few neighbors. But in just the last decade a plenty has swung in favor of smart TVs.
It is really amazing that it took innovators just a few years to improve the home entertainment scenario. What is more amazing is that they did nothing new except for integrating things together and bringing everything together inside one smart TV.

A smart TV is essentially the harmonization of experiences that the modern user has come to expect of their online devices. There is no doubt that most hand held device these days are great connectivity tools. These devices let people tap into their online lives, talk and share their moments with people on the internet and talk with anybody they choose to.
Think of a smart TV as an upgrade of that mobile connected experience in a large screen with all the great services of the television! Hats off to engineers, now you dont need to visit video rental stores. A smart TV allows you to download movies bought online and store them offline in storage disks at home. Remember those days when you had to keep a track of the latest movies, not anymore.
