The icons of the program and the connection of the add-on in the new window look like different-colored cards. TB, which works on the WebOS platform, automatically assigns plug-ins, and, as a rule, connects to a new one, for example, Xbox, the gadget appears in the Launcher line itself as a card of a game console, and not just like an icon of an external add-on.

A large number of different “smart” TVs became available on the police of Russian shops. When choosing Smart TV, you are stuck with a problem: what kind of OS should win when choosing a TV. Today, market leaders win 3 operating systems on their smart TVs: Tizen like Samsung, WebOS 2.0 like LG or Android like Sony and Philips. In these articles, we are talking about the peculiarities and advantages of all three systems.

Last year, the largest TV manufacturers presented new models of their smart devices from Tizen OS, WebOS 2.0 and Android. Two rests migrated from smartphones to smart TVs, only Samsung with Tizen OS, having expanded the “operating system” for a number of devices with the ability to connect to the Internet. Let's take a closer look at the feasibility of the operating systems of today's "smart" TVs and what the stink of the coristuvachevs is.

Tizen OS

Tizen OS interface

1 of 3

The remaining models of Samsung TVs are equipped with Tizen OS, demonstrating a simple and intelligent interface, as well as wide customization options. mustache current TVs there is an electronic interactive help of a koristuvach, in which you can know how to get food without a letter to the paper's instructions, which is more convenient.

All remote controls for new models of Samsung TVs can be played like a digital pointer - they integrate a gyroscope, which allows you to move the cursor not with buttons, but with your hand at the front of the screen. For standard commands, you can twist voice care: switching channels, keeping the frequency and sleep timer. To raise the microphone, just press the release button on the remote control.

Menu OS Tizen pіd hour dzvіnka z'yavlyaєtsya at the bottom of the screen, not zakryvayuchi more precisely the image does not matter to revisit. Menu line to search 2 lists of add-ons: the most popular and recently selected. The versatility of the installed add-ons is wide and focused on Russian coristuvachi, middle popular programs online cinemas IVI, Amediateka, Tvigle, Zoomby, Megogo, online video services - YouTube and Rutube.

Crimium of opportunity to create videos and review TV channels, Tizen OS allows you to install different games in the Tizen Store add-on store. For access to the igor, an okrem access panel to the igro library has been added. May in Tizen and the possibility of switching between kilkom programs without turning to the home side, and on older models - rich task - supporting the multi-window mode: rewatching the video with one-hour web surfing and so on. When the function is activated, the screen is subdivided, and you can adjust it by choosing between the images for yourself. The browser of the new operating system is no less sparse, but I lie before the new one without much criticism, I did not mention the shards of commemorative "galms".

In the OS, it is possible to send images from TV to a smartphone, as well as streaming images from mobile devices to TV using Miracast technology. Plus, you can access content from your devices connected to your TV.

webOS 2.0

WebOS 2.0 interface

1 of 2

WebOS 2.0 operating system, developed for LG smart TVs, similar to Tizen, but with a different design: a similar menu line that appears at the bottom of the screen; voice control with an identical remote control and navigate multitasking did not go anywhere. WebOS 2.0 also added "Master nalashtuvan" with an interactive interface.

WebOS 2.0 gives access to rich online services - IVI, Okko, Megogo, Amediateka, as well as access to igor and other programs to the LG Store.

Like I said before, WebOS 2.0 also has a multi-window interface and allows you to gain access to as many processes as you can at once without turning back to the main menu. WebOS like LG allows you to access content from the devices connected to the TV for the additional SmartShare function, and the transfer of images from mobile devices () by the operating system can also be supported. Vtim, webOS 2.0 - a new analogue of Tizen with a changed interface.

Android TV

Android TV interface

Televisions on Android platforms TV is more kindly to the point of cursing and simple in vikoristanni. Home pageє screen of horizontal columns of addenda with sorting by categories. The first column shows the list of recently looked at videos, the other column shows the programs installed on smart TVs, and the third column shows the list of games. The lowest service column gives access to the service menu. From the shortcomings of the interface: weekly home screen under the hour of video creation, or I will review the TV again, the image will be closed.

It’s important for anyone that Android TV will be handy for short smartphones with a similar OS, the shards allow you to install the same set of programs on the TV, which is the best one on smartphones. Firstly, in practice, not all programs are available for robots with a smart TV, but in a different way, it is important to know similar programs. The main advantage of Android TV is the ability to install games from the official store Addendum to Google. It is easy for gamers to know their own controller, and the keyboard is also supported. In addition, all televisions on base android TV supports Chromecast technology, for the help of which you can transfer content from mobile devices to your TV.

Visnovok

For under-reported koristuvachs Samsung TVs OC Tizen is more friendly, because Tizen has already installed a package of Russian add-ons and there is no need to upgrade the TV set, solving for a new OS. I was pleased with the richness of the task, as it allows you to simultaneously play the video on the TV screen and win the browser, as well as broadcast the image from the TV to the mobile device.

Chanuvalnikov LG does not recognize the WebOS 2.0 operating system, as an analogue of OC Tizen. Considering that WebOS 3.0 is on the horizon for 2016, it is possible to check for new models of LG smart TVs.

I'll be honest, for myself, I chose a TV set with Android TV, but I wouldn't please the yogo for the time being. As a matter of fact, you should be able to see a smart phone on the Android OS, troch technical plan and get ready to customize your TV, TV on Android TV is your choice. Bazhayuchim vikoristovuvaty TV for revisiting air channels and videos in online cinemas, more likely to win over other OS. TV on the Android TV platform can be used as a multimedia center, even if the operating system is given a number of installations and victories of such a smart TV, it can be used to create your video library and Igor.

But it is necessary to remember that when buying Smart TV, it is necessary to focus not on the insoles on the banal diagonal screen, but on the choice of the operating system, which is the most suitable. Otzhe, how to choose a platform? Why is there a difference? I spodіvayus, after reading ts_єї statti and znatimete, how to choose a reasonable TV, which serves you faithfully and truthfully, not zastarіvayuchi, as a minimum, stretching for a few years.

Android TV

What is it?
Inadvertently announced at Google I/O 2014, the platform was guilty of a rush to the Smart TV market, but it was true that it was not supernatural, and adaptation for end-of-life extensions followed the principle of “correctly, but not surprisingly”. Google's idea was that Android TV is guilty of propagating all the koristuvachs more and less identical information, I'll add it to the picker - just like that, as it was in the wake of the revolution on the smartphone market.
Maybe, the biggest advantage of the platform was the library of add-ons, which was already expanding quickly.

Those that Android TV is based on the same code that Android is on our phones, porting the add-ons for TV needs not to blame to take a lot of time. Another trump card at the sleeve of Android TV is the strong integration of the platform with others Google services. This means that the recommendations of the promoted films and programs will become richly sensible: do not be surprised, as if you are walking around the house and google the information on the “Jeff Goldblum” prompt, and when you get home, watch it on your TV in the recommendations before looking at Jurassic Park "Independence Day".

What's new?
It’s quite remarkable that in the future we need more devices for supporting Android TV, which will significantly increase the privacy of the platform for third-party retailers. It is also not included that Google releases regular updates to systems that support form ads. mobile version. As a proof of this fact, one can see the identity of the current functions of Android Marshmallow and Nougat with those in the TV platform: for example, by analogy with the mobile version, SD cards can be dtrimuetsya nalashtuvannya rozdіlnoї zdatnostі and dynamic range in 4K matrices.

For whom, it is easy to install the loan from the loan extension at the appropriate menu of the Google Settings program on the phone.

webOS

What is it?
WebOS began its life in 2009, and it started off as an operating system on Palm Pre smartphones until the moment when it was bought by the giant LG, as it was worth rebuilding WebOS for a dastardly twist on TVs, believing that smartphones are enough functionality, which is rapidly developing. same Android. The results of Smart TV like LG are available on webOS and dosi.

What's new?
The last iteration of the platform, WebOS 3.0, was shown at CES 2016 and could boast a lot of new features that are intriguing. For example, "Magic Zoom" allows you to enlarge a part of the image, so that you can easily see the details you need in the background. In this manner, at the hour of the video's creation, you can "kovzat" on the screen for the help of the kerovanny gestures of the MPC. Also, version 3.0 allows direct connection of Android smartphones, which allows you to quickly switch to review the ones you need Google Maps Or watch a YouTube video on the big TV screen.

And if you want to listen to music through the bike home acoustics, but in case of whom you don’t want to look at the light of the TV? WebOS 3.0 can play music while muting your TV screen. However, the main novelty is the launch of the GameFly streaming game service, which allows you to launch high-tech games on the TV set Batman: Arkham Origins or Tomb Raider without the need to buy a console or a hard PC. Tsey service works similarly to PlayStation Now, processing all the data on the server on the Internet and demonstrating the shortest image in real time.

Although WebOS is small in the past and has stumbled over an impersonal transfer to its own way, there may be a lot of special features, a lot of respect for a potential purchase. For example, on Android TV, you can create a bunch of oblique records of coristuvachs here, which transfers a lot of oblique records for the skin member with your own special recommendations and addenda.

Tizen

Luckily for Samsung, the company decided to move Tizen to TVs.

The Smart TV interface on Tizen can react quickly to the dії koristuvach, neatly looking and like competitors, set its main goals for today's different dzherel content in a clear view on the TV screen. The system has a lot of unimaginable possibilities - take whatever support you want from the godforsaken PS Now service, you can start playing games with PlayStation 3, you can't find the same console. The “Extra” function is also a riddle, which in real time improves the statistics of sports matches and detailed information about a movie that you can look at.

What's new?
As stated during Samsung's official entry to CES 2016, "the company wants to make switching between traditional TV channels and Netflix as easy as switching from channel 1 to channel 2." In order to do this, it is necessary for the Korean forerunner to report the titanic zusils, trying to get along with providers. cable television in Western Europe and the United States, de competition in the market of TB services has reached a new scale and is practically regulated on the sovereign level.

In addition, the bula declared the possibility automatic appointment and customization of add-ons, which are connected via HDMI, for remote access to them with a standard Samsung remote control. The company positions its TVs on Tizen OS as the center of the Internet Speech at your home, which allows others to speak smart outbuildings(there can be, for example, light bulbs, washing machines, kitchen appliances). Samsung is the leader in the Smart TV segment, the one that dominates smartphones, Android, Tizen is nowhere to be found, and it can certainly achieve a wide expansion and high popularity on the market of smart TVs.

Firefox OS

So, v_dpov_dalna for rozrobku Firefox browser Mozilla also created an operating system that can be installed on Smart TVs like Panasonic. The system was developed with an eye on the yakomog greater simplicity and the maximum change in obligatory data, which are processed by the CPU of the TV.

The home screen prompts you to choose what you want to work at once: look at the TV broadcast, run the program, or switch to connecting devices for the obviousness of this (for example, Xbox). Also, you can blame your favorite program or channel on the home page.

What's new?

Of course, it was presented its own analogue of the Chromecast-system, which allows koristuvachs to synchronize content between web browsers on different platforms by pressing one button. Finishing the conversation about Firefox OS, I need to say what I want to Naraziїї vikoristovuє Panasonic, the operating system, as well as in the case of Android, may appear on the devices of other vibrators.

Roku OS

What is it?
The Roku company is best known for small set-top boxes, which make your TV smarter, but the platform - Roku OS - is built into them - increasing its expansion without intermediary on the market of smart TVs. In 2016, other models on Roku OS released such makers as Sharp, TCL, Haier, Hisense and Insignia. On the main screen of the system, you can choose one of 1700 so-called Roku-channels, which will aggregate content from anonymous different channels. Zagalom platform interface is even more predictable Tizen OS. However, not only old look Rіdnit tі dvі OS. For example, Roku, like Tizen, support downloading metadata about a movie or a TV show.

What's new?
For now current version- Roku OS 7. software updates Retailers are encouraged to add support for 4K and HDR content, which can be helpful to those who win set-top boxes on Roku OS. However, regardless of the continuous improvement and improvement of the productivity of work, Roku's prospects for the Smart TV market are vague due to the lack of a large library of add-ons and great competition from the side of other IT giants.

We are uniquely able to present at CES 2014 new platform webOS optimized for LG Smart TV,” said Lee In-Q, Senior Vice President and Head of TV Development at LG Electronics Home Entertainment. - “The advantage of webOS lies in the fact that it does not change the level of freedom and prosperity of the victorious.
