What Is an Internet-Ready TV?
The Internet is becoming a
larger part of people's daily lives, and more and more devices offer
new ways to stay connected. As a longtime hub of information and
entertainment, it's only natural that the television has followed suit.
Internet-ready
TVs take the web content that has been increasingly popular in external
devices—video game systems, Roku boxes, DVD/Blu-ray players, etc.—and
deliver it directly to your television.
These televisions are
equipped with an Ethernet port (and often a wireless connection or
add-on) much like your PC or other network devices. Once connected to
your router, they use your broadband Internet connection to provide you
with content.
Content varies depending on manufacturers and
models, but one can gain access to streaming video and music services
(both paid and unpaid), smartphone-like applications or widgets, social
networking tools, online photo galleries, and plenty more. Manufacturers
continue to expand their offerings by the minute and can extend their
devices' abilities via firmware updates--a distinct advantage over
analog sets of yesteryear.
