So what is an Internet Ready TV we hear you ask? Well its the next step in the evolution of the television to being your eyes and ears on the outside world. The Internet continues to increase in importance on how we run our daily lives, keep in contact with family and friends and manage our media and information. Many devices now include access to important web applications like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter and it’s only natural that the television has followed suit.
Before Web enabled TVs you needed to have a PC or games console plugged in to your television to access Internet applications. Now Internet Ready TVs provide all this functionality built in and easily accessible from your TV remote control.
These televisions will have an Ethernet port (and generally some form of wireless connection) just like your PC and just like your PC you just plug it into your router to access broadband Internet.
They then provide you with a menu of internet services you can access from your remote control. The exact applications and internet tv functionality varies between manufacturers and this is changing all the time as Internet TVs can have their software upgraded online just like a PC. Its important to check the exact specification of the TV you are ordering. Some manufacturers are introducing App stores so you can download new applications as they become available.
We hope you find the information in our site useful and wish you many happy hours of Internet time on your new purchase! Click on this text to return back to our homepage to see the latest reviews of Internet Ready TVs.
