Smart TVs vs Smart Boards: Which One to Choose? When comparing smart TVs and smart boards, it is important to consider your specific needs. What challenges are you trying to solve in your field? For some people, the Smart Board's digital touchscreen and Smart Board software are the perfect solution. For others, the clear display of a Smart TV is ideal. Either way, it is essential to compare the pros and cons of each option before making a decision. Let's take a look at both. What is a Smart TV? In short, Smart TVs no longer require a separate streaming player. Instead of adding a Roku or Fire Stick to your TV, Smart TVs simply connect to the internet and allow you to stream content. This is because Smart TVs run an operating system that can access, manage and play digital and internet-based media content, such as YouTube and Netflix. What is a Smart Board? A Smartboard is a touch-enabled interactive whiteboard that can be used to take notes, draw diagrams, collaborate via video calls, stream content and more. Want to put your PC on the big screen? With the Smart Board you can easily project content onto the Smart Board using screencasts or using the HDMI port so that everyone in the room can see what's important. How do Smart TVs work? If you have a broadband connection and an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection set up for your computer, your Smart TV can use the same connection to stream or browse online content. While Ethernet cables are the most reliable, Wi-Fi may be more practical if your TV is set up in another room or away from your router. Similar to the apps on your smartphone, your Smart TV will display a list of available channels and apps through on-screen navigation. Some apps are already installed and additional apps can be downloaded to extend the functionality of your TV. The exact way you access and manage apps on your Smart TV will vary depending on the model you choose.
