‘Smart TV‘ is the term for any TV that has built-in internet access.
This connection to the internet allows the TV to work with a range of online services like live streaming, on-demand video, social media and applications.
SMART TVs have the ability to connect to the internet (via WiFi or Ethernet) and process the incoming information on their operating system like a basic computer.
A non-SMART TV (or Dumb TV) doesn’t have these features, so requires help from an external source.
All you need is a streaming device and broadband internet connection (ideally over 2mbps) with either an Ethernet Cable or WiFi router. A HDMI cable or VGA/Audio cable combination is always handy to transfer the image from the device to the TV.
TV Dongles work like a mini version of a streaming player. They plug directly into your TV and are usually powered via USB or HDMI. The advantage of a dongle is that everything you need is onboard: power, HDMI/USB and internet connection. This makes them super compact; usually the size of a flash drive.
