Web browsing

Most smart-TV models have built-in web browsers allowing you to surf the internet and view web pages, images and videos on the big screen. However, some are much easier to use than others.
Additional services
-
Smart-TV brands offer additional services to differentiate their smart TVs from the competition, such as customisable homescreens and recommendations of things to watch based on your personal tastes. Some are useful, others feel like gimmicks.
DISADVANTAGE OF SMART TV
- As with other devices that take you online there are fears surrounding security and there is a point some of the time. There have been issues, but work is being carried out to minimize this. In the future it may be the case that Firewalls will cover TVs as well. There are also fears about theft of date and loss of privacy and most worryingly the camera and sound equipment getting pictures and recordings of what is happening in the room. Facial recognition has also been muted as a risk to security.
- There is also the risk that you will never be offline and this will not be good for many nor will the fact that your viewing history is being leaked to others.
- It seems that smart TVs are here to stay and demand is increasing. This should lead to the price dropping and then more people buying them until they are the normal type of TV that is being purchased.
