The development of scientific and technological progress is moving at such a rate that the surrounding household appliances are so modified that they do not cease to amaze us. For more than one year, the TV has served not only to transmit images, broadcast from a set-top box or antenna. Many modern models can provide access to the Internet, install various applications for access to prepared media content (watching TV shows, movies, news, videos, using Skype, Twitter, etc.). Such an environment, called "Smart TV", that is, Smart TV (Smart TV) , greatly enhances the capabilities of your assistant. However, many new owners of advanced TVs often remain ignorant of how to use Smart TV. Let's try to help.
Smart TV - Internet connection
It is clear that the prerequisite for the work of "Smart TV" is the availability of access to the World Wide Web. Connecting Smart TV to the Internet is possible in two ways:
- over Wi-Fi, that is, a wireless network;
- via the network cable.
To connect the TV to Wi-FI in the menu, select the "Network" section, and then go to "Network connection", and then to "Network setup" ("Configure connection"). If necessary, select the type of connection (wired / wireless) based on your context menu, and start the network search. For example, when setting up Smart TV on a Samsung TV, you need to click the "Start" button, then a list of available routers will appear on the screen, from which you should select your network, and then, if necessary, enter a password.
When you connect the LAN cable to the TV, you must first connect the network cable. Note that if your modem is a single-port modem, you will have to acquire a hub or a hub. The other end of the LAN cable should be connected to a modem or switch.
After that go to the TV menu, select the "Network" section, then "Set up the network" ("Configure the connection"), where we go to the "Wired network" and after establishing the network, we confirm the connection.
How to use Smart TV?
After connecting to the Internet, you can switch to direct use of the Smart TV platform. Many manufacturers allow you to use applications and services without registering on the official website of the manufacturer. As for how to use Smart TV LG, you will first have to register with the creation of a new account or the input of an already existing one.
In the main menu of Smart TV are various applications and widgets in the form of icons. Usually manufacturers already build in a lot
- Icons, it can be:
- social networks (Twitter, Google Talk, Facebook, Classmates);
- streaming video services (YouTube);
- Media player for playing music or video from USB or network;
- thematic applications (games, fitness, beauty, news);
- services for communication (Skype);
- music services (including radio).
Start the desired application by switching the remote control buttons to the desired icon and pressing the "OK" button.
In addition, manufacturers of TVs and a browser for Smart TV. This built-in WEB-browser makes it possible, in addition to using standard applications and services, to view various Internet resources on your assistant's large screen. You can control the cursor using the remote control or by connecting a standard mouse to the USB connector. However, we recommend not overloading the RAM with excessive viewing of movies, it often "flies" and requires repair.
