When digital TVs came out, there was a huge fuss. There still is to an extent because all the old TVs are reduced to being landfill. Digital TVs are better for signal space, but they also bring new advancements. The latest trend is the Internet-capable TV.
The Internet isn’t perfected as you can’t visit absolutely any website you want to yet–but it can let you browse superior content. You can access Yahoo, Flickr, Netflix, Bloomberg, eBay, Youtube and Amazon Video on Demand. It’s a start for sure. You won’t have to have your Xbox or Roku box plugged in to get online either–you just hit a button on your remote control. On top of that, the TV can turn on automatic updates. With automatic updates you’ll see all the new content as it becomes available.
The best news yet? You will no longer need a cable. Millions of people are no longer paying cable bills because they can just stream TV online. The average cable bill is $80 per month so even if you buy a console to stream additional services through, you will make your money back in under a year.
Until the Internet-capable TV is perfected, you might want to consider a game console or streaming device. The Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo’s Wii, the Roku box and many other devices are becoming more affordable. They can all steam everything the TV can and much more. This makes finding Internet entertainment really easy even for the technologically challenged. By combining the Internet-capable TV and a streaming device, there is nothing you can’t find.
Even if you choose to use your TV on the Internet alone, you will still find great entertainment. Manufacturers like Samsung, Panasonic and Sony are working to provide you with great videos. Netflix alone might be worth it–you’re likely to always get good video quality.
