Here are all the details you need before getting one.
Screen size: It's important that you get the right-sized TV for your room. The ideal screen size for your TV will depend on the viewing distance and the viewing angles. Different manufacturers recommend different screen sizes depending on the distance between your
couch and your TV. For instance, Samsung recommends a 60-inch TV size if you usually sit 10-feet away from your TV. But more than that, sometimes the screen size depends on your personal preference. If you want to buy a particular screen-size TV, then just go for it.
Panel type: You can see TV manufacturers using different types of display technology to get you the best picture quality. This is one of the most important factors to consider when buying any TV, as the type of technology used in manufacturing the display decides what level of picture quality you can expect from your TV. Below is a rundown of some of the different types of displays technologies you can find on the market:
OLED: OLED stands for ‘organic light-emitting diode'. Put it simply, if you want the best possible picture quality, this is the type of display you should go for. OLEDs have higher contrast ratios, better viewing angles and colour reproduction, and produce deeper blacks compared to other display techs on the market. Manufacturers also bundle HDR, Dolby Vision, and other technologies to enhance the picture quality even more. Look for any of these certifications too.
QLED: QLED stands for "quantum dot light-emitting diode". This is the next best display technology you can get after OLED. QLED tech is a variation of LED-LCD panels. These types of panels include a quantum dot layer in their LCD sandwich to produce brighter and more colourful images compare to the traditional LED-LCD TVs.
LED-LCD: LCD stands for "Liquid Crystal Display". LED-LCD is a display made of an LCD panel but uses an LED layer as its backlight. These displays most of the time don't have the best picture quality you can get on the market, but they are generally less expensive to produce, that's why you see them on less expensive TVs. If you're after the picture quality, we recommend you purchase an OLED TV or QLED TV.
Ports: We recommend purchasing a TV that has a minimum of 3 HDMI ports and at least 2 USB ports. Ensure you get the newer HDMI 2.0 and above and USB 2.0 and above generation ports if possible, as they can easily stream high bandwidth content and make data transfer faster. More ports will also let you connect external speakers, gaming consoles, soundbars, PCs, gaming monitors, and more.
Operating system: Operating system is one of the most important factors to look out for in a TV, as it'll decide what apps you can run on it. Some manufacturers use proprietary operating systems and others use more mainstream operating systems Android TV. If you want wider app compatibility, go with a more popular and widely used platform.
Built-in speakers: While built-in TV speakers can't compete with external speaker systems, you should still ensure they are powerful enough for your room setup. Manufacturers also include Dolby Audio, Dolby Atmos, or similar certifications for a more booming and punchy sound. Look for any of these certifications as well.
Response time (for gaming): If you plan to use your favourite gaming console on your smart TV, or just want to play games on the TV itself, the response rate of the display matters. Response rate is the time it takes for a pixel to change its colour from black to white or one shade of grey to another. The faster a pixel can change its colour the smoother it'll render the game environment. Faster response rates will also reduce motion blurs ghosting during fast camera moments.
