My husband used to have this theory that the heavier the product was the better it was. He thought heavier meant more sturdy and solid. From hair dryers to furniture, this was the overarching theme of how he determined quality early in our marriage.
Where his theory kind of went out the window was as far as technology was concerned. And more specifically, TVs.
Do you remember the TVs when we were kids? The kind that was built into wooden cabinets, that may have taken multiple people to lift, and unless you had a piece of furniture to place it on top of, that thing was sitting on the floor because there were no other options?
As I’m sure you’ve seen as technology has evolved so have TVs. Now TVs can be hung from walls. Walls! Can you even imagine that with the TVs from the 80s?! And that you’d even need to ask the question, what’s a smart tv?
Our last TV we bought back in 2007 before we have kids. And while this doesn’t seem like that long ago, a lot has changed. Not only are we super excited to have more than one TV in our house now, we’re obsessed with how different our new TV is from our old one…how much more advanced it is and all that it can do!
If you’re like most people you’re probably asking yourself, what’s a smart tv anyway and how does it work? I’m going to tell you as I share the features of the new LG SUPER UHD SK9000 TV!
