Learn moreNot all new TVs are Smart TVs, but almost all of them are now. The technology is readily available and no longer cost-prohibitive like it was in the early days. It’s now incredibly affordable to buy a Smart TV. If you prefer a traditional TV, then it’s simple to keep them offline and disconnected from the WiFi.
Whilst you won’t get the full range of features and benefits of a Smart TV without a WiFi connection, you can still use them. Smart TVs can still be connected to an antenna and used to play TVs, movies and more even without access to the internet but you won’t be able to stream video or browse the internet.
You can usually expect your TV to last you around 7-8 years, although they can last well beyond 10 years before needing to be replaced. The average lifespan of an LED is said to be around 7 years, so after this point you can expect that the lighting of your TV will start to dim. Reducing the brightness of your TV can help to prolong its lifespan.
There are a number of devices that can make your TV smart. Gadgets like the Google Chromecast can make it possible to stream content from your laptop or phone onto your TV, whilst devices like the Apple TV will give you access to Apple’s catalogue of movies and films. You’ll also find other devices available which can make it possible to browse the internet, download applications and much more.
If you’re looking to purchase a Smart TV then we recommend looking for features like an intuitive user interface (some come with familiar Android or Apple OS), access to streaming apps like Netflix, music streaming capabilities, app stores, web browsers, games and other extras like voice or motion control.
