All in one TV - TV for everything? - Gazeta.pl

One hardware to rule them all, One Ring to find them.

one that all connect and collect room.

This is an excellent vision of the modern electronic equipment that is stronger than the One Ring. One who in a beautifully designed, durable and eye-catching cover would combine the capabilities of the radio, game console, media player and convenient tool for communicating with friends. Such a thing has existed for a long time and is called a computer. The problem is that computers are not “cool”. Manufacturers do their best to lose weight their laptops, add them chic and style. Even though they are successful. But then comes a new tablet known and everyone is writing about him. It is said so to us that every new gadget is everything. In the pursuit of multimedialno?ci? came to the absurd, in which the new gaming consoles can not be used just to play. They need to play multimedia files, communicate with other equipment, and even replace with TV tuners work.

TVs mania “all in one” did not pass. It started a few years ago, after the addition of a USB input and multimedia.


Suddenly, the TV without support divxów and Polish subtitles is nothing worth

– told me at the beginning of the race, a representative of one of the producers. With a slight regret in his voice.

Race to nowinkom started . Very quickly, we also tried to believe that a modern high-end television can no longer do anything. Ba! For more and further electronics fair this trend deepens. According to the producers of good Smart TV is not just a screen for world TV series and movies. It is also a gateway to social networking, game consoles, and even a private sports coach. How do all to ensure they have the facts?

clearly and distinctly must say that TV is not everything . Even the most expensive, the most perfect model of the latest series of not being able to do even half of what a cheap computer. Or being able to, but it does so more slowly and less intuitive. A good example is the open Internet browsers in the new receivers. It has them almost every brand. Sometimes, as in the case of LG, the web browser will be the cure for all the shortcomings of Smart TV. The idea in principle is good, because if every website would operate the TV as a computer, and the receiver handle the convenient remote control or / and keyboard, then why do we need separate applications Smart TV? The problem is that in practice it still does not work perfectly. Viewers on TV are free, do not support all formats, content, and navigation of sometimes tedious. The development is, of course, but for this example you can see the difference between vision and reality.

Since television is not everything, it’s basically what

as buying a new model of the networking and multimedia, we can be almost certain that without much of a problem with the USB drive recreate your favorite movies, music and photos in digital versions. Increasingly, we are also wirelessly connecting flat TV with other devices in the home network.

Some TVs can also replace the TV tuner. And it is with the functions of recording the content on the disc. Just buy one so specially formatted for your TV and voila! Functions as a digital recorder with the most expensive equipment to offer broadcasters.

new TV is also a selection of Smart TV applications. Basic and simple, but sometimes useful. Especially if you do not want to connect your computer to your TV, and we want to see favorite show from our VOD . The selection will be smaller than the PC, but in most cases we use the TVN Player Ipli, Iplexu and a few other interesting places. Almost all of them are, of course YouTube, which in the television version is never as easy as with a keyboard under my fingers, but it works.

short and clear – TV simply can not replace computers. Contrary to what you may have heard in the press releases, and have seen the commercials, there are devices for everything.

Fortunately, so they do not have to do anything either. And perhaps we should enjoy their limitations.
