Review: Smartbro Surf TV
March 5, 2010With the prices of computers; from desktop computers to laptop, some found a way to bring the connectivity to the world wide web from the comfort of your home and your own tv. This is Smartbro Surf TV. From smartbro’s website http://smart.com.ph/bro/products/
“Smart Bro SurfTV let’s you surf, chat and email even without a PC. Just plug the SurfTV to your TV and you can now access the world wide web. Ngayon, basta may TV, internet’s easy with Smart Bro SurfTV!

This is convenient way of surfing the world wide web, without the hassle of going to computer stops and waiting in line from a lot of computer users. This is also cheaper compared to desktop computers if your primary purpose is surfing the web, checking social networking sites and chatting. It is also convenient for some business establishments checking on their accounts via web service.
It may be cheap and convenient but this kind of convenience comes up with a punch. Lets take it one by one.
- First the speed: if your browsing the net and after fast reactions whether from downloading or uploading. Well it is not really 2mbps speed considering the location, strength of signal and the peak time.
- 10 for 30 minutes is 20/hr and electric bill. Well the average rate at computer shops is 15/hr with a promo of 50/4hrs.
- May i remind you that this does not contain any storage device. Well storage is quite handy. From surfing the web to making documents.
- Of course no Microsoft Word, Autocad, Dota lol!, and other applications that require a desktop or laptop.
- What kind of TV are required btw? Once i used our TV for watching movies, connected it to my PC via the GPU and guess what. Maximum resolution is 800×600 and 31 hertz. I can’t barely see a icon’s image.
- How about flash software required to play youtube videos or java needed for some sites to load?
Maybe convenient and inconvenient but for those who cant afford its a good alternatives for the freedom to connect with the web. I think it will attract students. Let’s see if it will hit Filipino’s taste to technology.

I think it won’t be a hit. Here’s why:
This product is targeting the masses, or more specifically, people who cant shell out cash for a full-blown PC/netbook. Now,what kind of TV unit does this people have? Traditional CRT TVs, mostly. If anyone already have connected a PC to a TV using RCA(or even S-Video), the screen is barely readable. You have to be very close to the screen to be able to read it. This would also be a health issue, knowing how dangerous it is to stay near a CRT TV. It might be feasible to those using LCD TVs. But then again, most of those who have LCD TVs also have PCs.
