Will this tv browse the internet through a web browser? By this I mean, can I type in a web page and the tv will pull it up.

Yes you can surf the web. My only gripe about it though is that it's generally pretty slow-going. Turning the t.v. into a 55" computer is pretty cool but just don't expect the same performance as your p.c. or laptop. Every now and then I'll miss an episode of a show I like and I'll watch it on the t.v. via the t.v. network's site instead of my laptop.

yes you will be able to do that. The browser isnt actually half bad for a built in tv web browser. That being said it is still browsing the internet without a dedicated keyboard and the magic remote. Meaning you will have to point at each and every letter when you type in the web page. A little annoying and time consuming but like I said one of the better built in tv browsers.

Yes.This TV have a browser application that will let you.go to any website that you want . Its a smart TV that has applications like smart phones .you can download your favorite application from LG.store.

Yes - in the "Smart TV" media center, there is a limited web browser. It functions in many ways like a normal web browser, but has limitations (you can't download files from it, it can't load/view certain kinds of media, etc.) To get a full web browser experience, you can use the TV as a display to "mirror" your laptop/iPad with the use of an HDMI cable, but if you are hoping for the web browser on the TV to replace the need for your laptop or iPad, you will be disappointed.

You need to have a wireless access point on your network and have it configured correctly. The actual internet service you have doesn't have anything to do with the connectivity of this television. Check the TV's wifi specs and purchase a wireless access point (sometimes referred to as a router with a wireless radio) that is capable of transmitting a signal that is compatible with the TV's wireless card. If you are unsure how to do any of this, I'd recommend hiring someone to set it up for you.

Yes, you can browse the net. It works the same as an Android tablet. However, you must have a mouse or a wireless usb remote. Otherwise it will be useless. You can also connect a usb keyboard.

No web browser - software is very bad - do not buy this TV - Major problem with 3D, Visio replaced logic board, even worst - get the Sony 70"

There is a browser in the tv so I assume you could load the page and try but you would still need a keyboard and mouse to make it work. Plus I'm not sure if the browser can do flash...or whatever the game "web language" is. They also have apps specifically for the TV. Google lg world and you can see what apps are up on the lg server for download to play on the tv. Haven't done that either. TV is pretty damn incredible though.

No, this TV is really designed to operate with another device...I have Sony Blu-Ray/Home Theater which has my ethernet port and the software to run all the Internet content.

I do not think so. I connect mine via HDMI for the best picture. I think the TV requires a hard wire connection to the internet but cannot operate wirelessly.

It will play flash media from the browser. Awesome device, like having your android phone connected to your TV

The tv screen becomes a second screen. Therefore, you should drag the web pages from laptop to TV

It can be used to surf the net, however I believe it is more useful for the apps. First of all there is no keyboard. This means you have to enter each letter by using the on screen (one at a time) for each letter. This is like old WebTv and is a pain. Who knows they may come out with a keyboard. And it sure can go from 2D to 3D. Take a close look at your remote, and you will see just on the left of the word "menu" a 3D button, click on it and you can simulate 3D. Great for sports. I tried watching NASCAR and it is very cool. Converts all your DVDs. all though it is not as good, however, the effect is there.

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!

the wifi is built in. it will search automatically and try to join your network. depending on your router, you will have to adjust/enter security info and settings. or simply use the ethernet port, as i do, for a direct wired live connection. the wifi is great for using the iphone/android smart phone remote app which will give you a full keyboard. the sony remote is not optimal for typing, and frankly, the web browser is a joke and you will never use it. if you want to use a tv for a large computer moniter, just hook up your laptop via hdmi and then you will have full web browsing on a big screen. i compared this tv to similar samsungs with a qwerty keyboard and frankly, their smart tv's are just as slow browsing. the 'smart' in these internet tv's is the apps. no tv is a computer and never will be. sony makes vaio computers for that. there is no windows operating system on any tv and will never be one as samsung and sony want you to buy their computers too! :)

The TV has set websites(YouTube, pandora, etc) you can browse and it comes with a remote and you can navigate on a keyboard that comes up on the screen. It's a little time consuming depending on the length of what you are typing. You can also hook the tv up to a computer. I have not done that yet so I'm not sure how easy that is.

no... requires a computer that has the ability to recognize new devices.... such as a tablet/laptop/desktop.TV's aren't that smart

I don't know any tv that you can surf internet without a computer hooked up to it. This does apps.

No,You are limited to internet connections to the sites shown at bottom of the TV screen when you press the VIA button on the remote. Not full internet usage.
