Entertainment
Media streaming players - there are lots of media streaming players that are generally plugged into a HDMI port in the back of the TV and give access to lots of extra video and music channels. Depending on which ones you get they give access to services such as netflix, amazon prime, hulu and much more on your television. Some of the media streaming players also have voice control such as the Amazon Fire TV stick. So you can use your voice to find the program you want to watch or a TV show with your favorite actor.
Soundbars - these are a great option for giving excellent sound when watching TV but are much less expensive than shelling out for an expensive sound system. Plug a soundbar into the back of the TV and it will bypass the internal TV speakers.
