What does Smart TV mean?

Smart TV allows you to have access to the entire world's live space. That is, to install and download applications, visit Internet sites and do shopping. Simply put, have a computer or smartphone on your TV. In addition, of course, you can watch regular channels via digital broadcasting, that is, the signal that is broadcast on the territory of Georgia for Georgian channels, as well as any foreign channels, if, for example, you have cable TV, etc.

Applications

Most modern smart TVs already come with built-in applications, including Netflix, Youtube, etc. However, you can install any of them that runs on Android or another operating system. By the way, recently, apps that allow you to watch matches online have been very popular among football fans.

Connecting to a mobile phone

Some models are equipped with the so-called SmartThings capability, which allows you to connect your phone directly to the TV and get the maximum effect when needed.

Operating systems

Although at first glance, a TV is considered smart because of its built-in WIFI receiver and, accordingly, its connection to the Internet, it is not so simple. Different manufacturers on the market use different operating systems in their TVs. Of course, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice here is entirely up to you and depends on what type of system you feel more comfortable with.

For comparison, Samsung uses TIZEN, the main advantage of which is speed and a system for automatically recognizing and managing devices connected to the TV.

LG uses WEBOS, which is the simplest system and allows for so-called Motion Control. Skytech and Termikel are represented by Android, as is SONY, and for example, on TCL you will find ROKU OS, which is distinguished by its simplicity and special, simplified and maximally effective features, including a voice search mode.
