The “smart” part is the ability to get information, programming, etc. from the internet. You can surf the net as if your TV were a computer, download movies and TV shows from Netflix and other places, etc.
“Smart” TV’s have that built into the set. Many BluRay players have the same ability as well as the ability to play shiny disks like CD’s DVD’s and BluRay disks.
It makes sense to me that as technology goes forward to be able to replace the $200 BluRay box if you want the newest technology for some reason as compared to replacing a $2000 TV because things have changed.
