My Cart - It seems like every TV set on the shelf is smart these days, and although they appear to be able to do anything and everything that we could possibly need, are they really worth investing in?
We’ve decided to take a look at how investing in a smart TV becomes a benefit to you – essentially, what can a smart TV do for you.
Can Do: Keeping You Social
Most smart TVs come packaged with access to some form of app store from which viewers can download some of their favourite apps – including the most popular social media platforms.
Although you probably never have your phone or laptop out of arms reach, you may want to update your social feed without taking your eyes off the screen. With the help of a smart TV you can do just that- with the official Facebook and Twitter apps.
This is perfect for all those of you out there who want to keep your social feed buzzing with what you’re currently watching, especially with regards to live tweeting your reaction for those long awaited Game of Thrones episodes!
Can’t Do: Negate any spoilers for your favourite shows.
Can Do: Streaming Capabilities
Is there anyone out there who hasn’t got access to a streaming service like Netflix or Now TV? With a variety of different services available which have options for a range of pricing options, streaming content has never been easier or more accessible, especially as smart TVs have streaming capabilities build in.
From being able to connect to the internet via WiFi technology, to having access to the majority of the biggest streaming services such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix and Amazon Prime, and keeping up to date with your favourite TV shows, having a smart TV with built in streaming options is a great way to stay in the loop – as well as catch up on old series that you may fancy watching again! It’s even a good way to find new TV shows or films that align with your tastes!
Can’t Do: Provide you with delicious snacks to go with your binge watching sessions.
Can Do: On Demand TV
Everyone lives super busy lives, which often means that you can miss an episode or two of your favourite show every once in a while. Rather than miss out on some important storyline progression, it’s now completely possible to save your favourite shows for later using the smart TV on demand feature.
So, if you’re out walking your dog when an episode of The Walking Dead is airing, you don’t need to rush home – simply select the show to record it and watch it at your leisure when you get home!
Another huge benefit of harnessing the power of on demand is that you can pause live TV. There’s no reason to miss a part of your favourite show which is airing because you need to make dinner – simply pause the show that you’re watching while it’s airing and you’ll be able to resume from where you left off when you’re ready!
Can’t Do: Sadly can’t stop time itself – don’t let your cooking burn!
Can Do: Multimedia Platform
TV’s aren’t just used as TV’s anymore – they can be used to view games, as a screen for a PC or even just streaming media from any streaming compatible device.
Whether you want to show your family and friends a slideshow that you’ve created on your laptop, stream a game that you’re doing great at, or even just work on your computer on a larger screen, you can do it with ease with a smart TV. No wires, no complicated connections, just seamless, reliable connectivity with other devices!
Can’t Do: Filter through all those embarrassing holiday photos during your slideshow – that’s up to you to remove them!
