Why didn't nobody tell me they had TVs with built in WiFi...

[beenz]

I have a sony that has Netflix built in but I don't even use it... Ps3 and Xbox have better apps for it

Having a Netflix button on ya remote is tho

same here. but the sony netflix that's built into the tv works the same as the netflix thats built into ps3. only reason I always use the ps3 netflix app is cuz the sony remote is more cumbersome than the ps3 controller. otherwise the app itself in the tv works fine. same for youtube.

however, the chrome browser in the tv shyts all over the browser in the ps3.

Theres plenty of devices that do the apps and wifi, you dont need it on your tv. Plus the interface is pretty sluggish

I have a Phillips Smart TV. The native apps aren't that great though. It's better to get a standalone box like a console or roku because they are faster and update often. It's a good feature tho.

Just buy s roku, turn any tv into a smart tv...

Just buy s roku, turn any tv into a smart tv...

This until I buy a new tv I don't see the point since I have a roku+ ps3 so it wouldn't be a buying point for me

I wasted money copping a smart tv last year

I dont even use any of the apps and the only thing I do is stream from a external thats connect to my router

shyt is useless if you already own a roku,wd live plus,or apple tv(and I have all 3 )

dudes are in here bragging about 42 inch TVs and watching netflix in the living room?

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but the uk Netflix is kinda lame.

How are the other features?

I been using the yiutube app on my 360 to watch thd subscribed battle raps.

I downloaded more four (channel over here) and tried to watch something, they showed 5 commercials before the show came on

Depends on the TV. The Viera's are pretty smooth as far as the UI goes. I haven't used the apps on my Sharp set at all though.

But the Viera is pretty nice with the DLNA. It plays mkvs from my Plex server. (it even previews the file when you hover over it) I can share pictures/music straight from my phone to the set. I haven't used Netflix on there, cause I have a PS3 hooked up to it as well, but I only have that in there because it plays blu-rays.

Let me tell y'all...instead of upgrading my tv last year I bought a Sony bluray player with Google TV built in...and never used cable after that. I either watched Netflix or rented/bought off of amazon instant. The controller is keyboard. Web browser, Google music, everything built in. I looked for the new version in best buy last week but I guess they discontinued it. Best purchase I ever made

I pretty much do this now. Cable is only needed for NBA/NFL games

thanks for speaking truthfully on this

i dont pay for anything, rent anything, buy anything, i got my own sources

so these 'smart tv' apps are just things you eventually have to pay for anyway then? cause the most i see mentioned is netflix, and i'm not trying to do any of that
