What is a Smart Television?
A smart TV, sometimes referred to as connected TV or hybrid TV, is a television set or set-top box with integrated Internet and Web 2.0 features, and is an example of technological convergence between computers and television sets and set-top boxes. Besides the traditional functions of television sets and set-top boxes provided through traditional broadcasting media, these devices can also provide Internet TV, online interactive media, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and home networking access.
Smart TV should not to be confused with Internet TV, IPTV or with Web TV. Internet TV refers to the receiving television content over internet instead of traditional systems (terrestrial, cable and satellite) (although internet itself is received by these methods). Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is one of the emerging Internet television technology standards for use by television broadcasters. Web television is a term used for programs created by a wide variety of companies and individuals for broadcast on Internet TV.
The technology that enables smart TVs is also incorporated in external devices such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, digital media players, hotel television systems and phones and other network connected interactive devices that utilize television type display outputs These devices allow viewers to search, find and play videos, movies, photos and other content from the Web, on a cable TV channel, on a satellite TV channel, or on a local storage drive.

Blu-ray Dvd Player
The main manufacturers of Blu-ray players are big-name brands such as LG, Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, although other well-known companies also produce them, including Toshiba, Philips, Pioneer, and Yamaha.
Blu-ray players are much more affordable than when they first launched, so you'll find the main brands offer several models from budget up to their very best, fully-featured decks. Of course, there's still room for premium decks for the home cinema buff the likes of Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, and Cambridge Audio, which can cost from £200 up to £800. But is it really necessary to part with that sort of cash? In short, no. But get it wrong, and you could be left with dire-looking 3D or a dreadful DVD picture.Bl
Surround Sound
Where will your speaker system go? In a family room on the main floor? Or in a basement bunker that’s far removed from bedrooms and other quiet spaces?
For multi-purpose spaces, where the TV and surround sound system won’t always be the main event, think small. Small speakers can blend more easily into your décor and stay out of the way, leaving you more space for other activities. For example, if you plan on using your family room for movie night once or twice a week, and otherwise mostly use it for socializing, helping with homework, and other non-TV activities, you’d probably be quite happy with a smaller speaker system.
