Smart-TV

Although the term sounds quite modern, there is less to it than you might think. Devices called smart TVs are models that can be connected to the internet to access streaming services, apps and other online content. The connection is established either via an Ethernet cable or, alternatively, wirelessly using Wi-Fi.

Applications are offered as part of an app store and can be downloaded and installed that way. Many smart TVs are provided with integrated voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Samsung’s Bixby, the Google Assistant or LG’s ThinQ AI, enabling comfortable and intuitive control of the device by voice command. In many cases, internet access is also possible directly on the screen via a browser.

Televisions of this kind increase the level of connectivity at your home and can usually also be easily integrated into the home network in order to communicate with other devices on this basis. This makes features such as streaming content to the TV via tablet or smartphone and using the mobile phone as a remote control possible.

Software updates that offer new functionalities, security improvements and bug fixes are also made available to a certain degree, depending on the manufacturer. Today, the majority of new sets sold have features that are typical for smart TVs.
