Do You Use : SMART Feature

[mipurush]

Team- we spend a lot on the fins and bellz of a tv - but do we really get to use it.

 

[musicbee]

Some do and nothing wrong with that.

Among the features you've listed FHD is a must. A lot of difference in watching full HD content vs. rips (even at 720P).

 

[rud3dawg]

yup yup I feel FHD content makes a lot of difference , Wifi is an added advantage of flexibility I prefer a cleaner no cable hassle & headache room ..3D is just a perk

 

[rajatk]

Is FHD part of Smart TV content?

 

[curious]

FHD is desirable if you have a bigger screen and planning to watch HD content on it. BTW, I think, FHD should not have been clubbed with smart features. Yeah, I can live without 3D and Wifi (though my TV has it all).

 

[shefeeqonline]

I use built in wi fi to render movies from pc
It help me to watch movies without copying to pendrive
fhd is essential

occasionally use you tube also

to be specific - you might have whatever tv with whatever smart features - do you really use them?

just imagine you want to watch a 3d movie at home- you have to sit with that silly glasses on your face all the time.And you are supplied with just 1 0r 2 glass with the tv.what if you have 3/4 ppl @ home.so you keep sharing/Pass around the glasses all the time ? or the other 2 dnt get the 3d experience - how cheap.
or you end up buying extra glasses.
i just cant deny the fact that i lack patience to sit all through a 3d movie and sit with the glasses- how lame.
or is it just me who feels so.
smart features are certainly not worth it- anybody has a better justification.

If by FHD you mean Full High Definition, then this is not a smart feature. It is panel resolution. Again 3D is not a really a smart feature. Both are part of basic features. Anything to do with video (and audio), for me, are basic features. These include panel resolution, 2D or 3D, contrast, black level, refresh rate (not meaning the Clear Motion Rate (Samsung), Motionflow XR (Sony), Motion Clarity Index (LG), etc.), ability to play various video/audio format, etc.

I consider smart features as follows (not an exhaustive list):

- networking
- DLNA
- browsing
- smart apps such as YouTube, FB, Twitter, etc.
- other downloadable apps
- dual mode gaming
- motion controlled remote
- speech recognition and command

BTW, I have never used any Smart feature except DLNA sometimes. I find all of them pretty much useless.

 

[longshanks]

I did not use the smart TV features much in the beginning but now i ended up buying a dedicated internet connection just for my TV to use the features.

btw 3D and FHD is not smart tv feature,lol

To Begin with I agree with others that 3D and HD are not really SMART TV features... but to what the OP was trying to put through is .. are all these added advantages really necessary.. to which my reply ll go like this..

Au contra-ire..mon Amis, to think smart features are not a necessity but an advantage.. just like internet @ its advent was not deemed necessary by all and considered just as an advantage..now every person who wants to work from home using secure tunnel says otherwise, or for even every moms necessity who dares to let go of her child who's in a far of land or even in a different state in the same country away from home for the first time

All I am saying is if Smart TV s are well appreciated (like they are).. then very soon a common household will be having IPTVs with all the basic browsing features added & mounted which aid any mundane task which will be a necessity in the near future from online purchases (Which I hope will decrease commuting mostly & save time and avoid pollution) to Kids monitoring using the ip Webcam from anywhere and also VDO calling etc etc... etc... etc..


So .. We are just in the transition ... brace yourself and be patient..

Eg 1: In 1997 or so.. when my cousin was using a cellphone that set him back about 35-45 k(If my memory serves me well).. I was like 'Are you out of your mind!!!!' and now look @ me paying bills, solving issues @ home from work and watching movies on the bed.. and music on the can.. apart from being reachable(telephonically) anywhere I go..

Eg 2: 2 yrs ago when i started using a 15 Mbps line my folks said I was crazy .. now they VDO chat with my brother, cousins far away while I game, browse and download all the crazy stuff i want.. without cribbing nagging me to stop dloading etc... Advantage/Necessity for me(After a long day @ work i need to blow some steam ..) a necessity for my folks

P.S: 3D now is just a transition.. soon spectacles less 3D will be spreading wordwide and I just hope I get to see Holographic recreational VDO content before I die... (Wishful thinking I know...)
Guess I should stop.. got my work assigned to get cracking and all set to work

Just my opinion dint mean to be offensive at all .....and how much I love Technology eventhough it will probably kill me 10 or 20 years earlier!!!hyeah::yahoo:

My usage is pretty similar. Not a big fan of 3D at home. If there is a really good 3D I go to the theater to watch it. FB, twitter on TV, never used!

One useful thing for me is to be able to play youtube videosongs etc. on the TV from the internet using my phone. Comes in real handy if you are having a casual party at home. Also sometimes the remote app on iphone comes in handy when remote is not close by :licklips:

VERY interesting thought - gave me a new dimension- very matured i must admit . but then this transition will take 5 yrs frm now.so why buy now- i might aswell save cash and use it when we are fully operational.yes this qn was for the common man like me and not for the richs -lol

yup.. so you would think.. and after 5 yrs there will be more transition impending.. would you wana wait again n again for 5 and again 5 more years and so on...!!! and then .... the Cliche Dialog...."Sitting on that chair in hallway when you are old when you look back and tell your self what if had just one chance to BUY THE TV this very year!!! " .... Live a little I say...

 

[rajatk]

Comparing Smart TV features with advent of internet & cellphones might be too much. For every successful technology/product, there are atleast 10 that fail... SMART TV is a fad right now which might go in either direction in future...

I believe it will be a beautiful step and others might not... the world still moves on... and I compare because in the beginning everything starts small.. thats all
