Best Media Streaming Tvs

Once upon a time, the radio was the king of all media mediums, and then it was the television. Eventually, the computer came along and the internet evolved into an all encompassing media platform that has overtaken both the duties of the radio and of the television. Technology trends show that, eventually, streaming television shows online will be more popular than watching the shows on a tv set. But, when keeping that in mind, it is also worth noting that people have not ditched the idea of the tv altogether, as streaming tv sets have become increasingly popular.

In essence, people are now streaming tv from an online source and then putting it on the big screen of their tv set, rather than just crouching in front of a personal computer or lap top. So, in the end, people are kind of treating the internet as if it were a cable box or subscription. The internet is now the source for entertainment, rather a certain network channel or cable provider, or any of the other middlemen that were positioned between a tv show and the viewer. There is very little doubt that tv networks and cable providers are going to have to evolve to suit the needs of an internet consumer. There are a ton of choices when it comes to media streaming tv sets, and here is a list of some of the best ones on the market, according to consumer reviews on the most popular internet marketplace sites:

The HDMI Hookup

Many people do not even bother buying an actual tv set made for web streaming, and instead opt to just buy an HDMI cable and hook up their computer straight into the tv screen, thus making the tv screen into a large monitor screen for the laptop. Some tv screens and computers may not work for this, but most new models of both do work just fine.

Apple TV

Apple’s streaming media device started out just as an experiment by Steve Jobs, but has since blossomed into an all-out product that has sold more than a million units. The best thing about the Apple TV is that it is completely wireless and works independently from an outside monitor or laptop computer- all you need to own is an Apple remote made specifically to navigate the wireless world trapped inside the Apple TV.

Roku

Roku has a ton of options available for a variety of prices. It is completely wireless and independent of an outside device. All that is needed for the Roku to work is a wireless interne connection.
