1. Using a smart TV requires you to be aware of its user-friendly functions. The best part of having a smart TV is that you can access internet while you are watching TV. So if you have a Wi-Fi connection at your home, getting a smart TV is a great idea! This way, you can surf the net, update your status on the social networking and, of course, watch television simultaneously that too on a big screen TV!
2. Do not worry if you do not have an internet connection. You can easily view screen captures, photographs, etc. that you clicked with your mobile phone on your TV too. Screen and sound capture, cricket mode, story replay and smart share are other unique features available on a smart television. It also helps you to transfer data from your mobile to your TV and vice versa.
3. The major differentiation between a normal TV and a smart TV is the latter’s tizen and android-based operating system. For example, the Samsung smart TV has its own operating system (tizen). This is in-built in the TV, giving better performances as compared to a normal TV.
4. A smart TV also comes with a smart dongle, which you can use to connect Wi-Fi at your home and access internet. This will also allow you to access mobile banking, mobile sharing, online shopping as well as download stuff at an excellent speed.
5. You can also lock your smart TV by switching its safe mode on. This TV also gives you an option to watch various shows simultaneously.
