Already we are seeing the first televisions with built-in TV Android, yesterday I teach presenting Philips in this aspect. And other manufacturers will be added over time. The big question that we have is what is best for a complete experience of Android TV, if have it integrated in the TV or on the contrary use a set top box external.
Each option has its advantages and its disadvantages, is not a new debate. What is clear is that the way we see television is mutating and is necessary to have the “smart” part either built-in or external. And the option that offers Android TV is interesting.
Integration, the most positive to have it inside the TV
The biggest advantage of having Android TV directly on television is that everything is integrated. We don’t have to have another pileup more beside the TV. And indeed, the experience is much simpler: own the TV command lets us control everything, there are no problems of compatibility, loose wires, there is nothing to configure.
In addition the main reason to have Android on TV is to see streaming videos, either Youtube or any other service online free or pay (Netflix, Wuaki, etc.). And these services do not evolve, maybe Yes in interface but if a TV can reproduce them today can play them within five years if the application is still available. Therefore the hardware does not have why to become obsolete.
Update, main advantage of external equipment
Comment the latter because the major drawback of having Android TV integrated into the TV is precisely that we were stuck in a hardware fixed until we change the TV. And change cycles are not the two years of the mobile, but much more.
We run the risk of falling out of date. On the subject of video playback if the manufacturer still supporting versions of their applications for older versions of Android TV does not look that will be a problem. In games and interface things change.
Probably the version of Android TV of the TV is stagnant and the operating system will continue to evolve. Can we stay late, something that does not occur if you use an external TV Android, just renew it. We will not have problems of power when it comes to play, our device will evolve in power, not as if we use Android TV on our TV.
What is the best?
At the end It depends on the use that we will give you. I really believe that to see streaming videos there will be no problems of remain obsolete and have Android TV integrated into the TV will be sufficient. And if we are not very given to renew televisions within 5 or 7 years always can add an external device if we are very outdated.
If instead we like to tinker, have the latest version, play directly on the TV it is better that we decantemos from the beginning by an external device that we can go to renewing every two years.
