If you have an HDTV that is a great TV but isn’t a smart TV, and you find yourself wanting to have a smart TV-like experience but without actually having to buy a new, more expensive TV, worry not. Because we’ve got you covered. Following is a list of ways you can upgrade to a smart TV connector/smart TV connect:
• Google Dongles: Do you remember how every laptop user had a dongle for an internet connection once? It is kind of the same idea except it does so much more for your TV. You will need HDMI ports and plus the dongle into your TV and voila! You now have a smart TV connect on the go. Of course, you will need a WIFI connection and a mouse that’s connected to your dongle, but that’s about it. You can usually buy these devices for a small price and they’re good for years. Most of them come with a warranty as well.
• Bonxee Box: Bonxee box is another option. It’s a setup box you can keep near your TV and use it to turn into a smart tv connector. It’s mostly DIY as well and you won’t need a technician for setup. Use the cables to connect it to your TV and there you go! Your smart TV connect is here.
• Home Theatre PCs: Another smart option is to buy an HTPC which comes in all kinds of budgets depending upon what features you like or not, and then attach it to your TV through an HDMI cable. There are numerous brands on the market you can use it from. Some popular apps you can use through such PCs are Netflix and HBO. Still way less cheap than actually buying a smart TV.
