Comparison of Internet TV Apps

Due to the advancement of technology, it has now been possible for customers to hook their TV up to the Internet. Some of these TV/Internet hook-ups include basic keyboards and Internet browsers, but not all of these apps function in this method. They are, however, designed around streaming services and applications; with a built in function that allows the user to scroll the Internet with just a thumb (and a remote).

Internet TV apps are a great way of viewing TV without needing an extra connection, or a special box to connect the Internet.

Internet TV is great for any person who enjoys sharing videos, homemade or YouTube based. The ability to share great videos without having friends and family members stand around trying to look at small screens (phones or computers). Internet TV also allows users to chat on social media sites (such as Facebook and Twitter) while watching movies, without having multiple devices surrounding the couch area.

Samsung Smart TV

Samsung is offering video searches with detailed movie and TV information. They also have to better application offerings than any other Internet TV, with a high variety of 3D streaming.

Wi-Fi: Built with higher models; USB dongle – $80


Sharp Aquos Net

Unlike the other apps, Sharp doesn’t offer the hits like Hulu Plus, YouTube, or Amazon Instant. The application selection is rather narrow as well. The one good thing about Sharp Aquos Net, is the app has a better interface than the other apps.

Wi-Fi: Built for all models

LG Smart TV

LG is known for keeping things simple, and they haven’t stopped at these apps. LG has kept with their traditional style, while keeping it all customizable and have a clean lay out (great for those who like to use their Wii’s). The only downside is the app store has a light content when it comes to searches.

Sony Bravia Internet Video

Sony doesn’t have an app store or a special home page for their content, but what Sony does have to offer, is an impressive stream-able collection. Sony also offers a Gracenote app (much like the Shazam app), that can recognize songs via cell phones.

“>Panasonic Viera Connect

Panasonic uses a more simple method of pleasing their customers; their method involves using basic tiles on their app much like the iPhone. Panasonic also offers their users a chance to buy physical items, not just apps.

Wi-Fi: USB dongle included

Philips Net TV

The best feature of the Philips Net TV is the capability to allow the user to display their laptop screens on their TVs with no wires. Great for those who keep most of their favorite viewings on their laptop.

Wi-Fi: Built for all models

Technology advancements will continue to impress, keeping customers and tech lovers alike interested in the latest add-ons for phones and TVs. There are thoughts that here in the future there will be just one single device that one can call, view TV, text, write papers, and almost everything without the need of buying separate items.
