Ah ha a question to ponder. At one time there was a service that worked through the tv.  I think it was made by Microsoft. It was called WebTv

The link above is just one of many sites that explain how to do it.

my Nintendo has internet and Play Station and XBox have such abilities but I believe limited.

WebTV was long abandoned 😞

What a lot of people do, including myself, is we attach a computer, usually an older spare or a lower power, smaller form factor system like an Intel NUC, up to a TV. Many systems have HDMI, so the connection is literally plug and play. Then, we'll use a wireless keyboard and mouse like the Logitech Harmony Keyboard+Trackpad and a Bluetooth adapter to use the PC from the couch. We'll often set the PC up not only for web browsing, but for streaming so it can become a replacement for traditional TV service.

Ha ha there is also a device that attaches to the tv like the device made by Happauge http://www.hauppauge.com

they had a decent product and are still in business.

i had in the past used a large screen tv as my computers monitor. In fact I had multiple screens open and used my computer via the hookup to use my mouse and keyboard. But where there is a will there is a way.
