Smart TV or Internet TV

In addition to the TV viewing we can run the applications in smart TV .It should be connected with network(Internet).Web based small applications can run.Applications are installed in TV via the Internet (via LAN in the application developing stage , that is called user application).Run the application on Application Engine.I tested the features of Samsung Smart TV 2012 . Application engine actually a dedicated web browser in the smart tv. Applications are web pages (HTML pages,CSS file and Java Script).TV screen is used as the monitor (resolution is 1280x720 or 960x540).Entire screen or part of the screen can be used for the application output.The interfacing/hardware features are based on models of TV. Most of the models having USB,WIFI dongle (dedicated USB port for plug in the dongle),Ethernet LAN,HDMI inputs,DVI input,Component and Composite Video Input, RF input. Keyboard and Mouse can be connected to USB. Mass storage (Pen drive) can be connected as media storage for playing
