It is not a smart TV. I had a Roku but later on I just hooked it up to my Wii.

This particular model is not a smart TV and you will need something on the lines of a Roku player

This is not a SmartTV, just a simple but effective HDTV. You will need a Netflix ready device to use Netflix with this TV

I have the Samsung and I love it. I think it depends what you are looking for in a TV. I was shopping for a Smart TV that had a full web browser since I stream most of my TV shows. All smart TVs have Wi-Fi built in but some can only access the internet through specific apps. I also wanted a TV that was easy to use and when I was looking up reviews the Samsung came out on top. Good luck!

I'm waiting on my roku, so take this advice with a grain of salt. From what I've read on the reviews, it seems that you can hook it up via A/V RCA cables, so no HDMI is required if you have a SD TV. A lot of folks on here seem to have SD TV setups, so I think HDMI is an option not a requirement.

Yes it is a smart tv! not through the tv it's done with the 3-D DVD player. The combo are amazing quality which I wouldn't expect any less from Samsung!

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.

This is not a "smart tv". To my knowledge there is no internet viability and it will not connect to Netflix, or any apps through the tv directly. With additional equipment it can run smart parameters, but that is through xbox one, chromcast, or something of the regard.

No, not without a separate device with WiFi. This TV is not a "Smart TV". You need something like Roku to be able to access Netflix on this TV.

Yes, that is what Smart Hub and the apps are for. It does depend if the site has an app, like Netflix and Hulu do, you can search and download one if available. Also may be able to watch through the built-in web browser although I haven't tried that yet. This TV is almost like a computer when it comes to watching media of all types. Can even plug in an external hard drive or USB flash drive and watch content on them.

This is not a smart tv. It has a very good picture and passive 3d. It does not have any apps or Wi-Fi. If you have an Ethernet cable plugged in you can download software updates and stream movies from your computer via a dlna media server. The tv also allows you to plug in a usb device and play movies and music off of it. It does not have DTS or Dolby digital decoders in the tv so you have to be aware of the audio format of any file you play. For the price this is a fantastic tv . I recommend adding a lg smart bluray player. That will give you the best bang for your buck and give you all of the features you want, including flash support. Hope this helps

No. This version is not a smart TV. You would need a device like a smart blu-ray or roku player.

You may attach a Roku player to the TV via the HDMI in port, as long as your Roku box has HDMI output. The TV itself is not a "smart" tv. The Roku box is the "smart" part :)

Yes, it is a Smart TV. I don't know all the details, I'm not a "techie", but my son ordered some cables and I can watch movies from my computer on the TV screen and other things. If you search the web with the Toshiba item number, you will see they have it listed as a smart tv.
