Smart TVs offer a wide range of apps that open up a whole new world of entertainment options. All you need is a good rage of internet connection to join today’s connected world; you could stream films, play video games, and check social media. Some manufacturers depend on testing attempts of their operating systems for their use on TVs. Most of these smart things work with the best smart speakers, and a few provide in-built speakers right into the TV. Many of them are also compatible with other connected smart home devices.

This product best suits Kenyans consumers because after research it’s been confirmed that most people do not watch more than five channels on television that is why Smart TV intends to invest in an effort to promote local programming not only in Kenya but across Africa.


Factors That Make a great Smart TV


There are various factors to account for in selecting a great smart TV;

· Picture Quality

· The sound

· The price

· Features

· TV Size and Model


Before you purchase a Smart TV, Evaluate the following characteristics:


- Display ( LED-LCD, OLED)

- Resolution at least 1920x1080(2K); 380x2160(4K)> Currently 4K is overkill because most sources (Broadcast service providers) hardly send even 2K and the current Blue-ray movies have a max resolution of 1920x1080 anyway.

- TV size: Usually a lower TV size comes with fewer features, probably from like 40 inches, you will get the sophisticated features.

- Picture Quality: (brilliance, clarity...)

- Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LAN

- Video inputs: HDMI, Composite Video

- RF Inputs: Analogue TV (PAL, NTSC), DVB -C/C2, DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2( In the US: ATSC and in Japan, Brazil and some south American Countries: ISDB-T)

- Audio Inputs: RCA analog inputs, SPDIF (Optical)

- Audio outputs RCA analog output, SPDIF (Optical)

- Loudspeaker: Usually the TV doesn’t have a very sophisticated loudspeaker. The arrangement is mostly stereo.

- Antiglare Display

- Web apps – Is it easy and is the TV able to install additional apps and if yes, which ones

- TV Stand; Some have two stands one on the left and the other on the right, which then requires you to get a TV table almost as high as the TV itself.


The voice recognition in these smart devices is so powerful that it can find all content, complete with contextual searching, for instance, ask it for Kevin Hart movies and then follow up by asking about comedies, the results will be comedies starring Kevin Hart without you really asking it to.

There are detailed guides to TV settings, simply broken down from reviews and spoken customers reactions from various companies’ forums. The following are some pointed key areas;


- User Experience (content easy to find? Are menus simple to navigate?)

- Compatibility (will it work with your smart home devices?)

- Content Search (Is it easy to search for content, are there enough tools for watching the broadcast on-air?)

- Content Sharing (Is it easy to share content over the phone or tablet?)

Check out carefully all the details concerning Smart TVs and if you have a TV without smart features or got an older smart one with limited options, you don’t have to purchase a new one. You can add smart features to your current one and enjoy the experience at an affordable cost.
