What is Internet-enabled TV and why you want one

In most ways, an Internet-enabled TV (often called a smart TV) delivers the same functionality as a hardware streaming device like a Roku or Apple TV, as well as the regular TV channels provided by an antenna or cable/satellite subscription.

You need a high-speed internet connection and an unlimited or generous data allowance from your internet service provider to take advantage of all the features of an internet-enabled TV.

These devices differ from televisions that act as computer monitors – although many can do that too – because no computer or external equipment is required to display web content. However, it is important to note that visible Internet content varies by manufacturer. All the major TV manufacturers make smart TVs with beautiful screens, so choosing the right set for you can be difficult.
