It needs not be smart but at least let it be Full HD.
If you are adventurous... try 3D. I'd strongly recommend that one buys a smart tv. I have been exploring the smart hub of my recent purchase and it's just amazing. Apart from the numerous apps, there is a web browser so that the telly is basically turned into a computer and one can surf the web. You can surf using the remote, but I have a wireless mouse and keyboard which makes surfing the web easy. And with the 'Picture in picture'functionality you can watch as you surf.

As far as smart TVs are concerned, Samsung recommends internet speeds of >10Mbps in order to enjoy that functionality. That speed could be the optimum but am able to stream HD content with a 3mbps home wifi connection. For accessing non-HD content even 0.5mbps can do.

Huku abroad (aka machinani) internet speeds can often be pathetic to say the least. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Very impressed by the features/specifications. Digital TV Tuner Built-in Full HD USB x 2 HDMI x 3 Smart Hub Smart Interaction Web Browser Dual Core Processor Natural Mode Support Wide Colour Enhancer Plus 100Hz Clear Motion Rate Picture-in-Picture WiFi Direct HyperReal Engine Digital Clean View Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Wireless LAN Built-in ConnectShare Movie Eco Sensor Smart Phone Remote Support Film Mode / Sports Mode / Game Mode People pay that much to watch news,documentaries and football? I think the most i have spent on a tv is 25K If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la, and I'm also looking the LED way. Best deal seen so far is Skyworth LED 42'' @ 58,000 with a two year warranty. Anyone ever heard of this brand?
