Internet-Ready Devices

Internet-ready devices use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content to your television, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.

Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.

Learn more about Internet-ready devices and HDTVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

Your Samsung Home Theater is also wireless-ready, giving you the convenience of less cords, less hassle. It’s also part of DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Samsung’s DLNA Certified Home Theaters have AllShare, which enables content to be seamlessly streamed between DLNA devices, allowing you to play files stored on your PC through your home theater. And Samsung’s new Crystal Amplifier Plus uses sophisticated “feedback” circuit technology that filters sound distortion and noise to provide pure sound.

Advancing the Art of Entertainment

Smart Home Theater with Web-Connected Apps

Samsung Smart Home Theaters allow you to easily search for movies, TV shows, explore Samsung apps and find many other types of new interactive content. Samsung Apps is a growing collection of premium apps specifically built for your TV that connects you to your favorite digital content such as movies from Netflix or Blockbuster, TV shows from Hulu Plus, videos from YouTube, music from Pandora, and social updates from Facebook or Twitter. A Search All feature enables you to find videos or files on both apps and other connected devices via AllShare DLNA Technology. The Your Video recommendation engine suggests movies you might like from your video-on-demand services. Samsung Smart Home Theaters let you discover a new world of web-connected entertainment.

2 HDMI

With HDMI, you can easily connect up to two compatible AV devices at the same time and replace AV cables with a single solution. An HDMI cable can replace anywhere from two to five cables so you can de-clutter your entertainment space with fewer wires.

Captivating 2D & 3D

Whether you are viewing a premium-quality 2D picture or seeing incredible 3D depth, images are breathtakingly real in Samsung Full HD. Combine with a 3D TV and 3D active shutter glasses to view the latest Hollywood 3D titles or amplify your viewing experience by upconverting 2D content to immersive 3D.

Stylish Design

A premium entertainment system needs a standout design that delivers impact. The swivel head speaker unit found with the Blu-ray Home Entertainment System delivers a whole new dimension in performance and style. It adds a contemporary edge to any home and will certainly turn heads. Also, the Slim, Symmetrical and Slot-in design, with new built-in lighting effect, Emotional Touch for effortless control and finished materials, screams quality. It creates an atmosphere that is comfortable, inspiring and very enjoyable.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Access all your Smart Home Theater features or DLNA network content without the need for a wired connection or add-on device. The HT-D6730W has Wi-Fi connectivity right out of the box.

AllShare DLNA Networking

For even more entertainment options, the HT-D6730W lets you connect to your home network and stream music, videos, and photos from other DLNA Certified devices (your computer, network storage drive, etc.).
