A Smart TV is a television with built-in features for internet connectivity and access to a variety of online content. In addition to receiving traditional TV signals, a Smart TV allows users to access streaming platforms, browse the web, use applications, and connect to social media directly from the TV. Thanks to an integrated operating system and internet connection, Smart TVs offer an interactive and versatile entertainment experience, integrating features that go beyond simply watching TV programs.
In everyday life, a Smart TV allows users to watch content from online platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube directly on their TV without the need for additional devices. For example, a family can use the Smart TV to stream movies and TV shows, check the weather forecast, listen to music on Spotify, and even play online games. Some Smart TVs also support voice control and can be integrated with virtual assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, allowing the TV and other smart home devices to be managed with simple voice commands.
