Basically I upgraded to a Smart TV because it has become a necessity nowadays. My sons play a lot of games, but the experience of gaming was not enough for them in the old CRT or a flatron TV. I had to take them to a cyber café if they wanted to play new or online games, which is not possible every time. So, I bought a Smart TV so that they could play and download latest games from the internet with high definition graphics for the full gaming experience. It comes with a keyboard and a mouse and a soft remote controller for motion detector games. The second reason I bought this TV is because of the 3D feature. It comes along with two 3D glasses so we don’t have to go to the cinema for 3D movies, instead we can watch the movies together at the comfort of our home. We can also watch movies online via apps like YouTube. And with good internet connection, you get HD quality movies. Another reason, my wife watches a lot of serials and tends to get upset if she misses any. What this TV can do is record the programs on MicroSD cards so that she can watch them later. -
