Samsung has long been providing Internet connection to their high-end TVs. They have called it as Smart TV. The Korean manufacturer has completely banished LCDs (liquid crystal). Henceforth
all televisions will be light emitting diode (LED).
The Korean company are expected to begin their marketing campaign for the devices with applications priced ranging between 300 and 3,000 Euros in 2012. These are by far the most interesting, not only for image
quality and dual-core processor, but above all, to include a front camera which serves both to use Skype to turn your TV into a giant mirror.
The system, which is strongly reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect, works with 36 voice commands. To ensure compatibility have been used as a standard speech than 140 different Spanish regions.
The front camera is also used to follow exercise programs and fitness and can recognize the taste of various family members and the same in case of minors, at their age.
The number of applications continues to grow: YouTube, MyMadrid Antena 3 (the official Real Madrid) Yomvi to subscribers of Canal +, or MyTele (Telecinco) are up for grabs. They can do with their key channel
and another through a normal TV through the decoder. For now, all applications are free.
To encourage the sale of more expensive models in the catalogue, Samsung has included an expansion slot that allows you to upgrade the TV, either with more processing power or memory. The so-called Evolution
Kit will be released in 2013, no specific price and without a more accurate description.
Samsung is not alone in the idea that television is the gateway to the Internet at home. Apart from being a claim for renewal of equipment, manufacturers see that they can make agreements with other technology
sectors, as the software or hardware.
