Let me tell you one thing that SmartTV are very expensive compare to ordinary LED TV so if you don’t have budget to buy it we have a solution for you.

There are many devices which can converter your ordinary LED TV into Smart TV but today I will discuss only two of them.

1. Google ChromeCast(cost $35)

The most famous of all is Google Chromecast device which is available in the market for only $35 which is really amazing. So basically it’s an HDMI device which plugs into your TV HDMI port and powered by external mini USB adapter. After that you need any Android phone, tablet, iPhone, iPad, Apple Mac, Windows laptop, or even Chromebook and connect it to your TV via Wi-Fi Apart from browsing internet and watching pictures from your device the coolest thing is the unlimited number of apps you can use and enjoy on big screen. The good thing is that you can connect upto 10 devices at a time which means fun for everyone. Keep in mind that you can only connect Android devices with version 2.3+ and Apple devices with iOS 7.0+(which is a disappointment for previous model apple users).

2. Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter(cost $60)

When Google creates some thing new Microsoft copy it and why not. Just like Google Chromecast Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter converts your ordinary LED TV into Smart TV with just one device. Unlike Google device it can be powered by your TV USB port rather than external power adapter. As expected this device works only with Andriod and Windows platform and not with Apple iOS. So if you own windows device like phone or table than you should buy this device. This is also expensive device and available in $60 online. You can connect Windows 8.1 tablets/laptops/phones and Android devices with version 4.2.1 and later.
