Finlux Smart TVs

A Smart TV is a TV that’ll bring on demand and catch-up TV services directly to the comfort of your living room sofa.

Finlux Smart TVs come with BBC iPlayer - allowing you catch-up with all your favourite TV and radio shows from BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Radio stations throughout the UK. The easy-to-use App will store the last 7 days worth of programming so you’ll never miss out again.

Sit back and share some of the funniest videos in the world via the YouTube App, whilst for social media fans there’s simple access to Twitter and Facebook, as well as sites such as eBay!

You’ll also be able to enjoy video on demand services via Viewster – offering you a range of movies ready to go when you are.

To connect your Smart TV you can use the bundled USB Wi-Fi dongle in your TV box and connect to your home Wi-Fi connection. Alternatively you can plug in an Ethernet cable into the back of your TV from your home network, so you’ll either need a cable long enough to stretch from your network point or look into buying a Homeplug that’ll carry your internet connection through your power supply.

How do i get it?

What are the requirements:

Compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Requires iOS 3.0 or later.

Connecting your Smart TV to your Broadband

All our Smart TVs offer a USB Wireless Dongle as standard in the box. Connecting to the internet is very straight forward. Simply plug your Dongle into your TVs USB slot and select your home broadband Wi-Fi from the list.

If you're using an Ethernet cable then you can just slot it into the TVs Ethernet port.

TVs with 100Hz technology

A TV with 100hz will be ideal for sports fans and action movie buffs. The smooth processing power of the TV allows for fast-paced action to be presented in a blur-free manner.

A standard TV broadcast is composed of 25 frames (pictures) per second. Each frame is split into two 'fields' for transmission. Each of these 'fields' contains a half of the lines (the odd number of lines in one, even numbers in the other). These fields are transmitted at twice the frame rate... thus 50Hz!

Your TV then cleverly creates the full picture by scanning the odd numbered lines, followed by the even.

An 100Hz TV will do all this.. but twice over and in the same time. This helps reduce blurring and visible flicking as you're effectively seeing 50 frames per second instead of the 25.

Freeview and Freeview HD

All our TVs have integrated Freeview or Freeview HD tuners. Freeview is the easiest way to enjoy digital TV for free. You can get up to 50 TV channels through your aerial with no subscription and no contract. A TV with Freeview HD will allow you to also enjoy an extra 4 HD channels including BBC One HD, BBC HD, Channel 4 HD and ITV 1 HD.

HD will bring you up to 5 times the details of standard definition with stunning picture quality, clarity and sharpness. The increased depth and realism will really bring your programmes to life.
