Report says less than 50% of smart TVs access the Internet

February 23 news, according to technology website BGR reports, smart TV with Internet features has become the future development trend of the TV industry, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and other vendors are developing TVs supporting Wi-Fi connection and Apps, but people buying smart TVs doesn't mean they'll do their best.

Norm Bogen, vice president of digital entertainment at NPD, a market research company, said: "People buy Internet TV, but they don't necessarily use them." According to the survey, only 47% of users access their smart TVs to the Internet, and even most of those connected to the home network are idle.

Paul Gagnon, DisplaySearch director, said: “I think people are only interested in some features of smart TVs, such as social networking and games. These applications are very simple. But when it comes to some of the operations that need to be entered, people prefer to use laptops and mobile devices. And the ugly and chaotic user interface may also be the reason why users lack enthusiasm for smart TVs."
