Just got your new smart TV and want to learn about its features and how you can make the most of them? Or have you had it for a while but have no idea about all the things it can do? Whatever the case may be, let's see how you can fully utilize a smart TV.

Find easily all entertainment apps

A smart TV of course connects to the internet and offers you countless entertainment options. Some of them may be:

• Music - Spotify, YouTube
• Movies & series - Netflix, Stremio, Disney+
• News - Haystack News
• Cooking - Kitchen Stories
• Weather - AccuWeather

It allows you to organize all the content from all your favorite viewing platforms on one screen. This way you can easily find what you want to watch. At the same time, it can suggest personalized content based on your preferences.

Thanks to their advanced operating systems, smart TVs offer simple and user-friendly applications that you can install as easily as you can navigate through them.

Most smart TVs come with pre-installed apps and support the installation of a variety of additional apps. In case an app is not supported by your TV - or even if you don't have a smart TV - you can install it using a smart TV stick

Remote Control; Your Best Friend!

If there's one thing you should know about a smart TV is that the remote control is your ally to discover all its capabilities. Now, apart from changing channels and adjusting the volume, you can directly enter an application (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, prime video, etc.) with the press of a single shortcut button. Furthermore, you can navigate to the main menu at any time, where you will see all the content grouped together and by pressing the same button, you can return to the previous screen.

Finally, many remote controls now allow you to easily and effortlessly find anything you want through voice commands. Just say what you want to search for and let the rest be done for you easily and effortlessly!

Connect smart devices

You can easily connect devices such as laptop, tablet, or consoles (PlayStation, Xbox) and directly display their content on your TV. Additionally, you can use an HDMI Splitter or HDMI Switch to have more than one connected device on your smart TV and easily switch the image whenever you want.

Did you know that you can also send content directly to your TV without even moving from your couch, using only your smartphone? Cast videos from YouTube, watch movies and series from a platform already installed on your mobile, or project videos and photos from your personal collection. All of this easily and from the comfort of your couch, without needing anything more than a few clicks.

However, the use of a smart TV is not limited to just viewing content from a portable device. It can serve as the central management hub for a set of smart devices that are part of a smart home system. By simply installing the corresponding application (e.g. Samsung SmartThings, LG ThinQ), you can connect all your smart devices to your TV, creating a profile on the respective platform. Quickly find your favorite movie, adjust the sound volume on your TV, and easily and quickly learn the latest news. But don't stop there...you can adjust the lighting for a fun movie night or adjust the temperature in your space at any time.

Give her the space she deserves

And because a television has a prominent place in every home, make sure to place it in such a spot that it can be comfortably viewed from any angle in a room. Also, ensure that there is direct access to the back or side parts, where the various ports are located (HDMI, Ethernet, USB, antenna, etc.), for easy cable switching.

There is always the option of placing a TV furniture. A prerequisite for this alternative is to have the necessary space and not have to constantly move things.
