Can I add bluetooth to 'smart' TV, to use keyboard/trackpad?

My Samsung TV has wi-fi, but no bluetooth, and only came with the usual remote, common to all TVs.

Would it be possible to use one of the USBs for a bluetooth adaptor, so I can use a wireless keyboard and trackpad, to control the in-built browser and the other apps?

    Depends. It should. most Smart TV's do recognize Keyboard/mouse when plugged into it.

    Careful though, my Smart TV will recognize a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse when I plug in the USB dongle. (but not a generic wireless mouse). But it does recognize a generic mini keyboard with trackpad.
