Smart TVs, unlike conventional television sets, let users do a number of things—such as stream content from services like Netflix or Hulu, browse the internet, and check social media—directly from the TV set without additional hardware.
And they’re gaining steam with consumers: In 2011, 52 million smart TVs were sold worldwide. By 2015, that number rose to 141 million and was projected to hit 173 million by 2016.
Of course, there are several ways you can set up a “smart” TV. You can buy an actual Smart TV with integrated Wi-Fi, one that can handle apps and the like. Or, you can buy something like the Google Chromecast, Apple TV, or Roku Stick to turn your “dumb” TV into a “smart” one.
In some cases, it’s more beneficial to keep your old TV and pick up a third-party device with smart features, which can help you save money—and the environment—by recycling your perfectly fine television. That's where we come into the picture. Reach out to us with options for your existing setup if your on a budget or just want to see what all the hype is about.
