What to look out for when buying a TV
A more expensive TV doesn’t mean it’s a better fit for you. Consider what features are most important to you and your room setup.
Understanding these will help you make an informed decision on your next TV purchase, especially during the Black Friday sales, where great deals abound.
Screen Size: Consider the size of your room and viewing distance to pick the ideal screen size.
- 40 to 43-inch TVs: Suitable for an average-sized living room
- 49 to 50-inch TVs: Allow for an enhanced viewing experience
- 55 to 65-inch TVs: For larger living spaces or home theatre enthusiasts who want the full immersive experience, especially for movies and gaming
Resolution: 4K (also known as Ultra HD) offers four times the pixel count of Full HD, providing clearer, more detailed images.
Display Technology:
- LED TVs: Use light-emitting diodes for backlighting. They are energy-efficient, have good colour accuracy, and are generally more affordable.
- Qled (Quantum-dot LED) TVs: A variant of LED TVs but with a quantum dot layer that enhances colour and brightness.
- Oled TVs: Each pixel is self-lit, offering outstanding contrast, deep blacks, and vibrant colours, but usually at a higher price point.
Smart Features: Most TVs now are 'smart', meaning they connect to the internet to stream content from services like Netflix and YouTube. Check for a user-friendly interface and compatibility with your favourite streaming services.
Sound Quality: While TVs are getting slimmer, sound quality can be compromised. Consider investing in a soundbar for a more immersive audio experience.
