What does Internet@TV mean?


Internet-ready TV
TVs labeled "Internet-ready" can connect to your home network to access online content. For example, a growing number of Internet-ready TVs let you play movies from services like Netflix®, BlockBuster™, or Amazon Video On Demand™. Keep in mind that you won't be able to browse the Internet the way you do on your computer — you'll only be able to access specific sites and information based on software included in your TV. Different TV makers provide access to different Internet sites and services, and sometimes these capabilities can be enhanced by firmware updates that the manufacturer provides. Besides movie services, common examples include weather, news, social media updates, and sports scores.

A few higher-end TVs have Wi-Fi® capability, but most TVs require a wired Ethernet connection. You can still get a wireless connection with many of those TVs by adding an optional USB Wi-Fi adapter. These adapters are usually brand-specific, so shop accordingly.
