New TVs driven by software and streaming, not pixels
by Heather Kelly



Televisions are getting wider and thinner, their edges shrinking to make room for displays that pack in more and more pixels. It's the smaller, tablet-inspired features that could end up being more enticing to average consumers. These include improved software interfaces, Internet connectivity and social integration, tablet and smart phone pairing, apps and more options for content sources other than cable. We spend so much time swiping around intuitive smart phone interfaces that navigating through TV menus feels like a harsh trip back in time. TV makers are adding new ways to navigate between these, including gestures and voice control.
