Smart TV purchase misunderstanding big summary

Television has always been a must-have item in life. With the advancement of technology, television has become full of technology. The latest technology performance is smart TV. The emergence of smart TV has given consumers a new choice, but also gave consumers a new confusion. In the store, many sales people steal the concept of smart TV. The TVs that can access the Internet, play games and watch movies are called smart TVs, and many consumers are fooled.

The so-called smart TV refers to a program like a smart phone that is equipped with an operating system. Users can install and uninstall software, games and other third-party service providers. Through such programs, the function of the color TV is continuously expanded. A general term for such a type of color TV that surfs the Internet through a network cable or a wireless network. Although the concept of smart TV is very clear, because this is a new product, many sales people in the store will be able to access the Internet, watch movies, play games, and the TV is called smart TV, thus misleading consumers. How can I buy a real smart TV? Below, the author summarizes the misunderstanding of the purchase of smart TV.

Debunking big vest internet TV ≠ smart TV

A few years ago, the Internet TV, which was popular in the market, had the functions of surfing the Internet, watching movies online, playing games, etc. When the smart TV appeared, many consumers thought that Internet TV was the "vest" of smart TV because of misinformation. Although all the manufacturers who launched smart TVs unanimously denied the "vest" statement, the reporter can still hear the promotion personnel in the store when they introduce the smart TV, and succinctly call it "the TV with Internet access". Over time, in the minds of consumers Internet TV is a smart TV.

The functions of smart TV include Internet access, but TVs that can access the Internet are not necessarily smart TVs. Smart TV is connected to the network and operating platform, focusing on the application, you can install and uninstall your favorite software, which is rich in functions and extensibility. Internet TV is to increase the network interface or WIFI to realize TV browsing and web browsing. Features such as online viewing, no other application features. So be sure to remember the Internet TV ≠ Smart TV when you buy.

Smart TV is the Android platform.

"Only TVs with Android are the real smart TVs, and the rest are deceptive." This is what a brand of color TV sales staff is introducing to customers when they introduce smart TV. This brand of smart TV uses Android. The Android operating system is one of the smart TV operating systems, as well as windows systems, Linux systems, and enterprise-built systems. It’s not rigorous to say that a TV with Android is a smart TV, with exaggerated and flickering elements.

From the current point of view, in the key smart TV operating system, most domestic manufacturers currently choose Android (Android) system, because its core code is open source, stable, free and has been successfully applied to smart phones, the cost is relatively lower, development Great potential. However, we must pay attention to the fact that foreign color TV manufacturers consider the core technology of the enterprise, and most of them develop their own operating systems under the Linux architecture. In addition, some products that use Windows and enterprise self-built systems are also smart TVs.

Easy to install with thousands of software than computers

"Buy a smart TV, there are thousands of kinds of software that can be installed. If you want to play it, you don't need a computer at all. Smart TV is much better than a computer." This is also a saying that sales people are ignorant. Maybe a few years later, smart TV can develop to the point of replacing computers, but it can't be done in only three or two years.

At present, many brands of smart TVs claim to adopt a fully open software platform, which can load countless programs and applications, and are aimed at software developers all over the world, but does not indicate the number of currently available software. It is understood that the software that can be used in the APP application store of the listed smart TV products is only twenty or thirty. There is no interconnection between the brands, and only the specific software provided by the manufacturer can be used. Thousands of software are installed at random. If you want to use a TV instead of a computer, only the interconnection between the various brands of TV systems will be formed, and the open application of the APP will be successful.

Intelligence is more than double the price of high technology

Not long ago, Ms. Sun saw the slogan of “a TV that can send Weibo” of a certain brand of smart TV. I feel very novel and want to buy one. When I arrived at the store, I found that the price of this 46-inch smart TV was more than 11,000 yuan, more than double the price of ordinary TV of the same size. I wanted to give up the purchase, but when I heard the salesperson said that this product uses the highest technology, Ms. Sun moved her heart and finally bought this smart TV for 10,500 yuan.

After a few days of use, Ms. Sun was bored. The Internet and meager are all operated by remote control. The input is very troublesome. The app store is mostly ribbed. The update rate is also very slow. The 5,000 yuan is far less comfortable than spending more money to buy an IPAD.

“The product adopts the highest technology at present” is obviously the saying that sales people are ignorant. At present, most color TV brands have launched smart TVs. Smart is a function of TV. Only the operating platform is different, there is no technical level. Minute. In addition, because the price of smart TV has increased the operating platform, it is 20%-25% higher than that of ordinary TV. If you increase the price by more than double the price, you must carefully understand the purchase. In order to avoid being deceived.

to sum up:

At present, the development of smart TV is in the early stage of the development of the market. The market is often mixed. The manufacturers often confuse the concept with the promotion and sales introduction. The event that the network TV is sold as a smart TV often appears, so consumers must figure out what is smart TV before buying. What features are available on smart TVs before you buy them. The above is the misunderstanding of the smart TV purchase summarized by the author, I hope that friends who have the need to purchase carefully check.
