Smart TVs do usually have a web browser, but I almost never use it. Smart TVs u
sually have dedicated apps for things like accessing YouTube, Amazon Prime video
, Netflix, etc.. The dedicated apps for video/music streaming are probably easi
er to use than a web page on something like a smart TV.
I think I have tried logging onto my BBS from the web browser on my smart TV onc
e, using fTelnet on the web page.
The thing about using a web browser on a TV is that, even on a big TV, text can
seem a little small sometimes. Also it's not the easiest thing to do, unless pe
rhaps you have a bluetooth keyboard & mouse you can use with your TV. Smart TVs
do have a pointer on the screen and a virtual keyboard that you can control wit
h a TV remote, but personally I find it's a lot easier to use a keyboard & mouse
if you can - and you can do that easily with a desktop PC or a laptop.
