smart TVs
Internet-connected displays
Smart TVs are television sets with built-in internet connectivity and computing capabilities, allowing users to stream content, browse the web, and run apps without external devices.
They function as entertainment hubs: We watch Netflix directly on the smart TV.
Most modern televisions are smart TVs by default, though the term distinguishes them from older sets requiring separate streaming devices.
