Hello and thank you to the whole team at "Comment Ça Marche!!!"

I want to buy a 102 or 107 cm TV, but I'm hesitating between a Samsung Full HD LED TV
or a Samsung Smart TV. If the internet connection is lost, can we still watch TV?

Thank you in advance for your answers, and I wish you happy end of year celebrations.

Hello, I notice that you are missing some technical elements to choose a TV. If it's to pay the same price, why not get a smart TV? For my part, I believe it's not essential; there are other ways to get the same thing for less money. The internet connection is designed to access paid options, a box or a key that connects the PC to the television will do the same thing but for free.

I’m a bit like the internet user "glandu"; so-called smart TVs are just marketing gimmicks. The proof is that in the control room, no TV is connected; we go through a computer that is itself connected to the control room, and then we do whatever we want.
At your place, it’s the same; you just need to connect a computer to your TV, and you’ll have everything you want (of course, that adds an extra cable).

Thank you for your response, idiot. Yes indeed, I'm not a huge pro when it comes to TVs. Will the Google Chromecast allow me to access YouTube, Deezer, the web, and watch movies from my computer???

Have a great holiday season.

get informed, there is YouTube but Deezer is really the new thing right now, so to view the content on the PC, there will be an app to install "Plex Media Server"
