In the episode, we will be discussing the ins and outs of Smart TVs, or really any screen that is capable to being connected to a computer really, as we will get in to. There are a bevy of available options for making your TV smart (usually inferring internet-connected), and there are certain advantages to some and certainly many disadvantages to lots of them. We’ll discuss successes, missteps and where we’d like to see the future of the smart TV head in the years to come.This week has been chock-full of TV-related news! Here is a quick preview of what you have to look forward to for this week’s episode:
New TV Technology Can Be a Hard Sell: Samsung is enticing the masses with eight more reasons to pick up a shiny new Ultra HD (4K) TV with a promotion giving away eight UHD movies with the purchase of a curved 4K TV. This is on top of their existing promotion to give away a $300 1TB hard drive with three UHD documentaries. Sony has a similar promotion with the sales of their Ultra HD TVs. If you didn’t think you’d have anything to watch in your brand new mind-blowing screen resolution, at least Ben Stiller will be able to tide you over until we start seeing 4K content more widespread.
If you thought the age of the TV was over, it looks like we’re only just beginning a new chapter in the content and product wars.
I hope you’ll tune in live at 12:30 PM EDT on Saturday, May 3rd for the episode, and you’ll be able to watch it in full below live or after it’s aired.
