Samsung opts for smarter smart TV experience ZDNet

Making TVs "smart" is one thing, but being able to use them smartly and to their full potential is another. Smart TVs have come a long way since Samsung first introduced theirs as a "connected-TV" back in 2009. In 2011, Samsung was the first to use the term "Smart TV" that converged the computer and its integrated internet, a conventional TV, and set-top boxes. TVs remain the primary gateway for easy content consumption in the home, despite the fact that it no longer holds a monopoly thanks to the compatibility of PCs, tablets, and smartphones for viewing content. Gimmicky features and other functions that overlapped with other screened devices introduced in earlier launches have disappeared, and TV remains the best device to watch content.
