Smart TV - Help, please, I can't do the techie stuff!

Jenny Butterfly

Hi Everyone,

Our tele is on its last legs and I'm looking for another one but fearing that I won't be able to set it up properly.  As it stands we have to faff around plugging in cables to switch between the DVD player, Britbox and Youtube from a laptop or another cable to a recording box.  Not ideal and now the HDMI ports have become a bit loose and unreliable too. 

Can I get just one smart TV to cover it all and also hope for it to be very easy to set up?  I'm not keen on going into a store and discussing our needs as I imagine we'll feel pressured to buy, but really I'm doubting I can just choose the right product for our fairly insular lifestyle?  Also, when I look online, there are loads of product abbreviations that I don't understand. 

Anyone got any recommendations?  I'd be very grateful.  Is there a tele that does it all or am I dreaming?

    Good news is, you can absolutely simplify your life with a smart TV. They're designed to cover all your entertainment needs in one package. No more plugging and unplugging cables! As for all those confusing product abbreviations, don't worry, you're not alone! When in doubt, look for a TV with popular apps like Netflix, YouTube, and streaming services pre-installed. Brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony offer a wide range of smart TVs to choose from.
