You can navigate the web browser by pressing and holding the TV remote&#39;s cursor controls (it functions as a mouse) in combination with a provided onscreen virtual keyboard. In addition to using the TV&#39;s remote control for web browsing, depending on the model year or series, you may also be able to connect a standard Windows keyboard and mouse into the TV&#39;s USB ports. Adding a keyboard and mouse makes search term and URL input easier.
