A smart TV, also known as a connected TV, is a traditional television set with integrated Internet and interactive Web 2.0 features. It is a technological convergence of computers, televisions, and digital media players. Smart TVs allow users to stream music and videos, browse the internet, and view photos. They provide access to over-the-top media services such as streaming television and internet radio, along with home networking access. Smart TVs are very much like smartphones, as they stream entertainment straight to your TV via an internet connection. They have built-in hardware components similar to standard TVs, such as a display panel, speakers, and input and output ports, but the operating system is much more advanced. Some key features of smart TVs include:

• Wi-Fi or Ethernet internet connectivity
• Featured streaming services
• Smart assistants and voice control
• Multimedia and gaming
• Integration with smart home devices

Smart TVs can be used to browse music, TV programs, videos, audiobooks, recipes, exercise lessons, and much more with the help of the internet. They provide access to various apps to enhance the functionality of the device. Smart TVs are designed to cater to specific developers, like Fire TV with Amazon and Android TV with Google. They offer internet connectivity and support for a range of apps, which opens up a world of new entertainment options. Despite their impressive functionality, smart TVs are more expensive than standard TVs since they feature smart capabilities. Additionally, your viewing habits are tracked with a smart TV to recommend relevant ads and content, which can be a privacy risk.
