findings

We spent full review functionalityLG Smart TV . We found out which social services and content access applications will be available on smart TVs.LG . Let's hope that acquaintance withSmart company platformLG it was interesting for you.

I thought here that I’ve already written about connecting the TV to the world wide web. But about how to go to the Internet from the LG TV, which possesses the function of Smart TV, I will write now. Perhaps someone this article seems too simple, and not necessary. But I am sure that it will be useful to many.

Practically, from all TVs that can connect to the Internet, and have the function of Smart TV, you can visit sites, go to social networks, read Twitter, etc. Yes, yes, even Vkontakte can go on TV, lying on the couch. Here they are - technology

To become this, I will write on the example of the LG TV (model LG 32LN575U, but it does not matter).

A few words about the browser

Built-in LG TVs browser, quite decent. He even knows how to play Flash. But he is there to play banners, nothing more. A video on a website, or a game of social network, run out. But, most likely, after a while, an error will appear:, or something like this.

Navigation, functionality, speed of the browser, as I have already written, are at a decent level. As for the TV.

How to control surfing on the Internet from the TV?

You can control from the remote control that was included. But, this is not very convenient. Then I remembered surfing the Internet from the usual mobile phonewhich with buttons (oh, nostalgia 🙂). Control the TV browser from the remote, it’s about the same.

Best of all, of course, connect the keyboard and mouse to the TV. Better yet, a wireless keyboard and mouse. Such management will be the most convenient. If you do not have these devices, you can control the browser of the TV, from your phone or tablet. Which works on Andriod, or iOS.

And also, you can buy a LG branded remote Magic remote. From which to manage viewing sites, it will be very convenient. At least, I think so 🙂. The last two methods are suitable only for LG TVs.

Connecting the TV to the Internet

It is clear that in order to browse sites through Smart TV, the TV itself needs to be connected to the Internet. It is possible by cable, and it is possible by Wi-Fi, if there is such an opportunity. More information about the connection, I wrote in separate articles:

If the connection is good, then you can go to launching the browser and visiting sites.

We visit sites from the LG TV (Smart TV)

For starters, go to Smart TV (pressing the special blue button on the remote). Then, at the bottom, select and launch the browser ” the Internet“.

Notice that on home page Smart TV, the icon that displays the status of the Internet connection, should be green. This means that the Internet is working, and you can continue.

After starting the browser, you can immediately click on the address bar, and using the keyboard, enter the address of the site that you want to visit. Or ask search query. To confirm the transition to the address, click Go on the virtual keyboard, or using the cursor, select one of the options that pop up below.

This will open a website, or search results that you can view, click on links, etc. Everything is like on a computer.

In the right, bottom corner, will be displayed “ Mini TV“. You can simultaneously view sites, and watch TV. If this window bothers you, you can close it. Place the cursor on it, and click on the cross that appears. To return the “Mini TV”, click on the button in the form of a TV on top bar management.

You can open many tabs at the same time. Just click on the green cross to open another tab. In this tab, by default, a panel opens, which displays thumbnails of pages of the most visited sites. A bit higher (under the address bar), a panel with bookmarks is displayed.

When you open a site and want to add it to your bookmarks, then simply click on the corresponding button that I showed in the screenshot below.

In order to open browser settings, history, bookmark manager and help, just click on the appropriate button and select the desired item. You can also enable full-screen viewing, zoom in, and close the browser.

In the settings, you can choose the start page, the default search engine, enable the permanent display of the bookmarks bar, disable Flash, etc.

I just want to give you one piece of advice. I have already met several times on the Internet articles that in Smart TV, the truth is samsung TVs, a vulnerability was discovered. Data that was entered on the TV, could get to the attackers. I now have entered passwords to different sites, and even worse, billing details.

I hope that now this vulnerability has been repaired. But do not forget that Smart TV on any TV is new and a little more raw technology. So, while it is better not to pay for various services through the TV, and not to enter your billing information. For this, it is better to use a computer.
