Let’s spill the beans…duh..duh..duh..drum roll…it is the “SMART TV!”
We’re pretty sure you’ve heard this term, maybe on a You tube AD or maybe on some “Not so Smart TV.”

To put it straight, it is the new Avatar that has single handedly pulled out the dying television industry from it’s grave; it is the reason to actually start buying televisions again; and it’s here to prove that it’s here to stay and even prosper.
