No, the "smart tv" they speak of is software built into the system to give you apps like a regular smart tv. No tv is included.

The tv would actually use the same wifi network as your computer does, so they will not interfere with each other. Think of your tv as another "computer" on your internet wifi network. When you hook up your TV wifi, you will need to know your SSID (*what your wifi network is named and broadcast as to your devices), and the password for your network (not all networks have a password). Hope this helps you!

I have an HDMI cable if I want to see the pictures on the TV. I don't have a smart TV. The wifi is so simple to use that if your TV is wifi capable it most likely will work.

in my experience, i only had to input the wifi password once. every time after that, i can simply use the smart tv feature like netflix, amazon video without having to re-enter my wifi password. keep in mind that the tv does take some time to connect to your wireless so you won't be able to jump into the apps right after turning on the tv. that's the only minor quirk.

A "Smart Tv" is one that has integrated Internet and Web features. Besides the traditional functions of television sets and set-top boxes provided through traditional broadcasting media, these devices can also provide Internet TV, online interactive media, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and home networking access. One give-away to whether or not a TV is "smart" is if there is a USB port.

I have this TV... as far as I know, there is NOT wifi built-in. All of the "smart" TVs released by Samsung should be wifi ready, but this specific TV is not "smart." Hope this helps! The picture and quality of this TV is great. I recommend it.

If you have internet, yes. It isn't difficult, however, smart TV's tend to be slow to react to user inputs, so be prepared to go slow when you make keyed entries from your remote.Your TV will have to have WIFI built in, or a wireless hub, (you will have to have wireless router to use either wireless configuration, of course) or a dedicated CAT-5 or higher cable directly connected to the TV internet connect port from a standard router or modem. You can switch the TV to internet using menu features and then navigate with key controls, once you have established your internet connection on the TV. If you have internet, yes.

the wifi is built in. it will search automatically and try to join your network. depending on your router, you will have to adjust/enter security info and settings. or simply use the ethernet port, as i do, for a direct wired live connection. the wifi is great for using the iphone/android smart phone remote app which will give you a full keyboard. the sony remote is not optimal for typing, and frankly, the web browser is a joke and you will never use it. if you want to use a tv for a large computer moniter, just hook up your laptop via hdmi and then you will have full web browsing on a big screen. i compared this tv to similar samsungs with a qwerty keyboard and frankly, their smart tv's are just as slow browsing. the 'smart' in these internet tv's is the apps. no tv is a computer and never will be. sony makes vaio computers for that. there is no windows operating system on any tv and will never be one as samsung and sony want you to buy their computers too! :)

Mine had wifi. But the screen is small for the web. Also after about six months it became very soft and hard to hear and I had to get something else. I had forgotten to go back and change my review to reflect this, but will do that now. Regards.

It does not have WiFi built into the TV but does have an HDMI port for connecting any device that streams (like a ROKU device.). If you get an external box, just makes sure it streams Amazon Instant Video.

No, this TV doesn't have apps and there's no wi-fi. It's a great budget TV, I use it daily for PS4 and Netflix, but if you're looking for built-in apps you'll need to buy at least the 650 or 750 line (something like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C9Y2TA4). Or you could just buy a Chromecast for $35~ and get access that way. You can stream Netflix from your laptop, phone or desktop to your TV through the Chromecast which plugs into USB and HDMI ports. Then you can use your phone as the remote.http://www.google.com/intl/en-US/chrome/devices/chromecast/

No need. Smart TV most likely has wireless capability. It should connect wirelessly to your network via your extender.

My TV did come with a remote that can also access smart functions. I believe the confusion is that it does not come with a smart remote, ie a remote with a sensor that can be either spoken into or be used as a pointer.

if you inquiring if it is a "smart tv" (with built-in internet connectivity), no, it is not what I do is set up my apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, et al on my blu ray player (which does have Wi-Fi)
