Can you search the web or does this TV only have apps?

Yes, you can surf the web, and it connected to our home wireless router almost immediately, very easy setup! but agree with other customers that it's best to use a wireless keyboard if you want to do alot of web surfing etc. my family all love this tv.

You can search the web, but it has the slow on-screen keyboard. I'm pretty sure you can get a real keyboard and search much faster. I just haven't needed to explore that feature yet. I hope this helps.

Yes you can, but not easily with the "magic wand" type remote control. If you intend to use it for surfing, you will want to upgrade to the new LG Magic Remote qwerty or similar device.

You can search the web and pretty much do whatever a laptop can do on the internet. We have a wireless key board synched with it and it is awesome.

No Web browser, but it does provide apps you can download, provided by Yahoo, so if you have a Netflix or hulu account you can access thru your tv

The TV has it's own operating system similar to what you would find in an iOS or Android device - not as advanced as that but the concept is similar. You can download new apps for various services. You can stream Netflicks, Hulu, Amazon Movies, Crackle, Vudu, YouTube, and other services with apps on the TV. It has WiFi built in and you can also use a standard network cable (CAT5) like you would for a PC. I've had the TV for a little over 2 months and have been very happy with it. My guess is Roku would not be needed.

It is just like a old version android tablet. Has chrome browser. Not many applications are available for this TV as it was discontinued.

If you have wifi in your house, it is fairly easy to follow the setup and connect to your home network. The tv then has some apps that are ready to go (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, etc.). As I mentioned in a previous review, no browser so you can't just go to any website you want, only what the apps allow.

no, the internet options are just netflix, vudu etc. as advertised, it's not really a full internet browser although that would be cool!

Hi Xavier, this TV has a built-in Opera browser that you can open when you go to the Menu options of the TV. -Vincent

I don't think so, but honestly I don't really use the built in apps. It is a great TV though I am totally happy with the purchase. I use apple tv to stream content from my computer wirelessly. Good luck.

There is actually a lot of info. Google; Android TV stick. However now that the Chromecast is out this isn't as great a device.Still good but its hard to beat the Chromecast for $35.00.

The only apps available are preloaded by JVC. They are Netflix,Pandora (music only) and Vudu these are the only sites which can be streamed via the internet. There is NOT a browser on this model JVC, therefore the only internet access is by the 3 preloaded apps. You cannot add additional sites that will give you other streaming content. NO BROWSER. You will need to add a Roku or BluRay... some similar device that provides access via WI-Fi or ethernet. The TV itself has WI-fi and Ethernet access for Netflix. Pandora and Vudu but without a browser present, you are stuck with those only. Sorry... the set is great and I have fought that battle with JVC. I was told that they were going to add some other apps, but not a browser... that was over a year ago with no luck. I hate to say this but their "Marketing Hype" in the literature is very mis-leading.

Google TV refers to a lot more than you being able to do Google searches on the set. As the other answer notes, it is the smart tv platform (which is Android based). The important thing to you is that you have access to many of the best TV apps that add additional functionality to your TV - media server, games, web browsing, music services, and soooo much more.

Nope, LG has it's own apps store where you can download applications for this TV and it uses Internet to update TV's software, but no, you can not get in to an email account or search in google or any other browser

Yes, it has a built-in Google Chrome browser, and I've been able to access many sites I normally visit on my desktop computer. If you can access the site on your Chrome browser on your desktop, you should be able to access it on this television as well. Hope this helps!

Currently there are only a few apps that have a cost for the actual "app" download ,but what the apps connect you to may or may not have a charge to view content. Many have a basic free service and also a premium upgrade you have to pay to get. Even some basic free apps are useful while watching TV, weather info at the time you want to see it is one good example. No need to go away from what you are watching to quickly check, and you can even hit a Vizio button to resize TV picture to fit with apps up on screen. Or, full screen app if you want also.

if you inquiring if it is a "smart tv" (with built-in internet connectivity), no, it is notwhat I do is set up my apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, et al on my blu ray player (which does have Wi-Fi)

First of all, you can type and search titles with the TV...you have to use the remote of course. We use our tv to stream netflix. It picks up our wireless single from our living room in our bedroom. It's been really awesome and we don't have cable either. If you have a netflix subscription and a wireless internet connection you should not need any extra hardware with this tv. :-)

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.
