There is no consistent difference. The issue to look at is whether you can get the internet TV, internet radio, and media streaming services that you want--every "smart" device has a different list of available services.

Also, you should consider what kind of audio and video quality you want. Most "smart" devices will not get you Netflix movies with 5.1 audio and 1080p video, for example. So I have a "smart" bluray player, and I was using it to watch Netflix streaming movies and occasionally to stream audio files from the PC on my network. But I recently bought a Roku 2 XS in order to get 1080p video and 5.1 audio on Netflix, and I then found out that there are MANY more services available through Roku (often with no monthly costs).
