Next Gen consoles vs Smart TV media features?

[Eamon]

Hi folks,

Basically I'm buying a next gen console(PS4) and a new TV. What I was wondering was there any point in getting a smart TV or how does the PS4's media feature's stack up to it.

I would be using either smart TV/ps4 in conjunction with my android tablet to control the apps and I've seen this work very well with a friends tv/tablet using Spotify and Youtube, is this possible on the PS4?

The apps I would be using most frequently would be Spotify, Youtube, Facebook and Netflix as well as other TV apps(e.g. BBC Iplayer).

The TV size will be around the 40"-42" size and probably Sony/Samsung and will be wall mounted.

Any other advice you think I would find suitable would be appreciated.

Sony are getting out of the TV market , so look elsewhere . Plasma is better for games and movies , Have a look at LG tvs , good features/connections , prices are good and awesome picture .
