Smart TVs aren’t very clever

January 07, 2016

In an August report, NPD Group estimates that roughly a third of smart TVs in the U.S. weren’t actually connected to the Internet. That’s down from about half two years earlier, but still not good. Researchers at Parks Associates found that even as more Americans are using smart TV functions, streaming device use has grown even faster.

“If you’re a streaming media box (maker), you’ve got much more ability to push new features out into the market at an affordable price,” said Barbara Kraus, director of research at Parks Associates. “They’re very stiff competition for smart TVs.”
