Your smart TV is a powerful tool that elevates your home entertainment and smart home experience. With advanced features and smart capabilities, today’s TVs do far more than you can imagine! Here are some incredible things your smart TV can do and how to level up your setup with options from the Next Upgrade Shop, including models like Samsung’s Crystal UHD Smart TVs!
1. Control your smart home devices
Your smart TV connects with smart home devices. Integrate with Google Home, Alexa, or Apple HomeKit to control lights, security cameras, and thermostats from your TV. Adjusting the temperature or viewing your doorbell camera feed, all while watching your favorite show? Yes, you can!
To make this experience seamless, the Next Upgrade Shop offers a selection of smart home gadgets that pair perfectly with TVs like the Samsung 43” Crystal UHD Smart TV, which is designed to simplify your home.
2. Stream workout programs and track fitness goals
No need to hit the gym when you have your own smart TV! Many smart TVs provide access to fitness apps, turning your living room into a personal workout studio. You can follow expert instructors from the comfort of your own home, with options for yoga, cardio, strength training, and live coaching sessions. Platforms like YouTube and fitness apps help customize workouts and track progress, keeping you motivated to achieve your fitness goals.
3. Mirror your mobile devices with ease

Need to share something from your phone or tablet? The Samsung Crystal UHD TVs and similar smart TVs support screen mirroring, allowing you to display your mobile content on the big screen. Whether you’re sharing photos, giving a presentation, or playing games, this feature brings versatility to your TV.
4. Use voice commands for hands-free navigation
Most smart TVs feature voice assistants for hands-free content search, channel changes, settings adjustments, and control of compatible smart devices. Just speak, and the TV responds, enhancing your overall smart home experience. Pair with a smart speaker from the Next Upgrade Shop for greater control over your devices!
5. Turn your TV into a digital art gallery
Some smart TVs have an “art mode" that turns the screen into a digital display. When idle, this mode allows you to showcase classic artwork, family photos, or visual designs, much like a high-definition digital picture frame on your wall.
6. Multi-task with split-screen mode
Some Smart TVs offer split-screen capabilities to watch two things at once. Picture-in-picture mode lets you browse the web, stream music, or check sports stats without interrupting your main viewing.
7. Enhance your gaming experience
Modern smart TVs cater to gamers with gaming modes that minimize input lag and enable higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay. Additionally, by utilizing cloud gaming services, you can enjoy games without the need for a console.
