Today, the tech giant has partnered up with some of the largest TV manufacturers in the world to offer a pure viewing experience with AirPlay. Keeping up with Netflix and Prime, Apple’s app offers thousands of hours of entertainment and many televisions today come with the built-in functionality that allows you to watch this content without any additional hardware purchases.

Other internet services supported by the television include Netflix, BBC iPlayer, BT Sports, ITV Hub, and Amazon Instant Video.

Benefiting from powerful AI, the Samsung display features HDR10+ and 4K resolution which means you’ll be able to enjoy some of the most popular content on AirPlay and on the Apple TV app infull detail. The quality of the images on this display is certainly backed if not overtaken by the high audio quality.

2.     Sony Bravia KD49XH81

If you want a capable TV at a fair price that runs Apple TV, you need to consider the Bravia KD49XH81 from Sony. This largely unknown TV is one that runs all of the video content from your iPhone, iPad or Mac through AirPlay. You can use it to get access to all of your family photos and videos as well as to get access to Apple TV.

But the Bravia doesn’t only work with one streaming channel (the Apple TV app). It also works with Android TV so that you have full freedom on the content you want to stream and so that you don’t have to upgrade your television in case you switch over to an Android smartphone.

Based on the proven X1 processor, these TVs with built-In Apple TV or AirPlay run images up to a 4K resolution. For a 49 inch TV that is this affordable, this is truly impressive. It even comes with 2K upscaling to make ultra HD images look even better. Dolby Vision with HDR makes images on this LED TV look even better.

But many users also appreciate its intuitive voice commands as seen on other television models. You can use it with Alexa devices. If you have any type of HomeKit smart home products or Echo Dot smart home devices, the voice commands-enabled television is going to be a good purchase. All select streaming apps with Airplay 2 support run on this TV with built in Apple TV.

Main characteristics

  • Integrates with Apple TV and Apple HomeKit
  • Dolby Atmos audio
  • Includes a voice-enabled remote control

3.     Samsung 50″ TU8000

Apple TV runs smoothly on this 50-inch display. It runs Disney+, Now TV, and BT sports with several other applications that are made by online streaming channels. The hours you can spend with quality entertainment watching the TV seem to be in their thousands.

You’ll want to free up your schedule to watch this ever-growing library of videos since the Samsung television supports 4K resolution. Its 65 inch, 75 inch, and 82-inch versions come with the ultimate Apple TV app resolution support.

While it seems complicated to look through all of the videos and movies on Apple TV, you do have a few asses up your sleeve with this TV. For example, you can give out various voice commands for it to look for action movies or cartoons only. But these voice commands are better implemented than on other display models. For example, it’s one of the few that comes with Bixby integration together with Google Assistant and integrated Alexa voice commands compatibility.

Main characteristics

  • Made with 4K UHD graphics support
  • Bixby-compatible TV
  • Available in 6 display sizes

4.     LG 43UN71006LB

This compact 43 inch TV comes with a pre-installed Apple TV app. It includes direct access to all of the online content of the international brand but you will need to join a monthly subscription plan to view this content. This is also the case in other applications it comes with such as Netflix and Disney+.

Its advanced features include 4K upscaling, dynamic colour modes, movie modes, and automatic noise reduction. If you love LG products, you’ll also want to check out ThinQ AI with its voice recognition mode. This allows you to control your smart home if connected to a system such as the IoT Home by voice.

Low input lag also recommends the setup for gaming. Since its quite compact, you may fit it in your bedroom for gaming purposes. The only drawback you have to consider is that you need a Magic Remote as a separate purchase to activate voice commands on it for the ultimate comfort.

Why choose the best TVs with built-in Apple TV

Apple TV comes with many interesting benefits. It gives you access to all types of channels such as news and movie stations. But it also incorporates most other streaming channels, simplifying how you use your TV. This is why choose an Apple TV-enabled television.

Apple TV and streaming apps – get all services in one place

Your favourite TV shows can be viewed on smart TVs with Apple TV. They can include those on Netflix and Hulu as the Apple TV app incorporates all of them. This TV app makes it easier to simply view thousands of movies, TV shows and documentaries in one place.

But a TV app other than Apple TV can also be installed separately. Netflix and Youtube have a separate app you can install. You can also consider using these with Amazon Fire TV as they come with USB ports. Amazon Fire TV opens up the world of Prime Video. Just as Netflix, Fire TV comes with access to movies. But you can also watch TV shows on Fire TV. Some of these are unique to the channel as some of those on Netflix.

You can see all Fire TV channels on a TV 4K setup from above. These 9 smart TVs offer Apple TV and TV app selection range for all movies and TV shows. Smart TVs don’t always come with the possibility to install a TV app and this is why they’re such a great choice with 2020 Apple channels.

AirPlay 2 integration

You can also use these sets models to view the content on your smartphone or tablet directly on the TV. This function is available through AirPlay and AirPlay 2. You can also download certain movies to watch offline. When you’re travelling, having offline movies on your iPad can be the leading way to spend time entertained. A display with integrated in Apple TV is going to work flawlessly when it comes with this TV app and Air Play support. The TV app is available on all of the televisions above.

TV 4k vs TV HD

Not any new smart TV comes with 4K capabilities. Some only work in HD. You need to decide if 4K resolution is available and if you really need it on your device for movies, documentaries, and music. Most of the TV series listed above come with 5K integration.

FAQ

Which TV models run Apple TV?

You can consider the Samsung 55″ Q80T QLED 4K, Sony Bravia KD49XH81, and Samsung 50″ TU8000 with a native Apple TV app that runs Apple TV. These all come with 4K video capabilities. The Apple TV app is already installed but you still need to subscribe to its monthly services available on these new TVs. The Apple TV app can be installed on other TVs outside the actual Apple TV as a result of the brand’s collaboration with manufactures such as Sony and Philips. These third party brands can run iTunes and similar Chromecast screen casting apps. However, iTunes might only work via Air Play gadgets as not all smart TVsmodels support this function natively.

Is Apple TV available on iTunes?

The Apple TV app works with Apple cloud. This means it also plays iTunes music. Even select 2018 TVs with the Apple TV app can still play music, even if many of them don’t have quality integrated speakers. Older select 2018 smart TVs such as the Vizio series can still be valuable with new Apple movies and TV shows. TV 4K technology has been around for a few years on older smart TVs with built-In Apple TV or AirPlay.

They work with Roku streaming and other streaming applications which makes them far more capable than the simple iTunes use. Airplay 2 is supported by these smart TVs for that extra functionality at a lower price now, 2 years later.

Apart from playing music, users can still use Airplay 2 to smart cast images from smartphones to a smart TV. The Apple TV app supports all of these functions on some of the select 2018 models still available today. New smart TVs have only marginally improved since then. The Apple TV app has seen considerable improvements where hardware progress stalled for a couple of years.

What is a TV app?

A TV app is a software solution for a dedicated program for your TV. Just as a smartphone app, a TV app such as this one made by Apple is used as a focal point for video streaming and casting via Airplay 2. Applications can only be installed on a smart TV based on the operating system. A non-smart TV doesn’t work with The Apple TV app or with any other TV app.

This is what makes a smart TV truly smart. Devices such as iPhone iPad or Mac computers can be used to watch or mirror their screens on smart display setup models as well. Like new Apple iPhone smartphones are made with app support, televisions get applications for iTunes, AirPlay 2 support, Roku content, etc.

What can I watch on my Apple TV smart TV?

If you have TVs with built-In Apple TV or AirPlay that run the Apple TV app, you can watch all types of content from series to blockbusters. Samsung, Sony, Philips, and other brands now run this app which you don’t have to install from an app store. With LCD, LED, or OLED technology, you can make the most of these select stream videos without buying a more expensive Apple TV at select deals.

Some TV series don’t run this app. They only come with a limited number of new applications which only allow you to watch pre-defined content channels. They are also not smart televisions as they don’t come with a full operating system functionality. You can get these easily today in the world of smart iPhone technology.

What does Apple TV subscription get you?

You don’t need to visit Apple store to get an Apple subscription for the official app on the TVs listed above. However, these models come with movies and TV series like those on Netflix and Roku TV. Some of these series are unique to Apple, like others are unique to Roku and Hulu. They are offered on an on-demand basis. These series are available on smart TV models at the time of your convenience. You can always pause them and come back to watch them later on the TVs with built-In Apple TV or AirPlay.

Available on an increasing number of television models such as the Visio line, the well-known subscription is known to offer new content each day. This content is well-reviewed so that you don’t need to fear paying for a service with unpopular movies. Like Netflix and select other applications, Apple app offers a new set of select videos every day.

Most of the videos uploaded on the platform are high definition. Some are recorded in 4K. You can make the most of these by choosing an OLED or LED series TV. Music or audio also sounds good via the app. However, Apple TV is primarily a source of video content and not one for music or radio. The app is Apple’s alternative to Netflix and comparable to Hulu. Unlike Netflix, it also gives you access to TV channels such as A&E Crime Central and Bet+. The app allows you to buy access to these channels as well as enabling you to choose from various offers for on-demand video. You may only want to use it for available movies on an on-demand basis.

Which TVs are best for the Apple TV app?

You can theoretically install this app on all TVs with an operating system. But some TVs don’t allow you to install apps, especially those on current deals of an older generation which may come with a limited operating system and without a top LED or OLED display.

You need to be able to run the app without a box. When you are subscribed to its service, you can also mirror the screen on your phone or Mac to your TV. Most importantly, you should choose a home theatre set which comes with support for all applications included within the Apple television app. You may simply want to watch Amazon Prime on certain days instead of browsing all sources of streaming.

You can buy such home theatre sets at Amazon easily. The best time to buy them at a low price is just before the new series comes out, as we’ve seen on the Vizio line. But you can also buy them at low price when you don’t need the largest display size. You will need to save money for the subscription service of the Apple TGV anyway. This service is not covered simply because the app is memorized.

Are all Vizio TVs smart TVs?

Budget Vizio models are often seen as smart TVs. They come with pre-installed applications such as Hulu. But not all Vizio Tvs allow you to install such apps.
