Three tips when buying a TV
We're assuming you're buying a TV to get a bit of a cinematic feel at home. If you’re just going to watch the news, it doesn't matter much.
-
Naturally, it's important that it will fit on your TV stand or wherever you're planning to put it. Thinking it would be nice to mount it on a wall, but don't know how? Check out this guide we've found for you.
-
Furthermore, there are dozens of other more or less scientific studies that will tell you how big a TV you should have in relation to how far away you'll be sitting from it. A simple rule of thumb is to have a distance of half a metre per ten inches, so if your sofa is about three metres away, you should have a 65-inch TV.
-
Finally, it rarely hurts to go up a size if you have space for it and you find the larger size to be affordable.
Whether you’re playing PS5, PC or Xbox, gaming is the new hot topic on the TV market. If you're running a PC on your TV, you should keep an eye out for Freesync or G-Sync support, depending on your graphics card. Naturally, both PC and console players should strive for refresh rates of 120 hertz and the potential of automatic VRR (variable refresh rate) adaptation.
We hate to say it, but the sound on new TVs is terrible. A TV's speaker will provide sound, but it is generally not very good, nor particularly powerful.
Add a sensible soundbar to your TV budget if you’ll be watching more than the news, because we're not kidding when we say half the experience is in the sound. Browse our soundbar category and see if you find one that suits you.
FAQ
TVs are best chosen based on the distance from your seating area. For a comfortable viewing experience, consider a 55″ TV for a medium-sized room. Measure the space and consider how far you'll sit from the screen. Larger TVs suit bigger rooms where you can sit further back.
TVs are available in LED and OLED types, differing in display technology. LED TVs use backlighting, while OLEDs offer self-lit pixels for deeper blacks. Consider OLED for superior picture quality and LED for affordability and brightness.
TVs are considered smart if they connect to the internet and offer apps. Look for user-friendly interfaces, compatibility with streaming services, and voice control features. Check the operating system to ensure it supports your preferred apps.
TVs are often labelled as 4K when they have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. This provides four times the detail of Full HD, resulting in sharper images. Choose a 4K TV if you want enhanced picture clarity, especially on larger screens.
TVs are sometimes designed with curved screens to improve immersion by mimicking the natural curvature of your eyes. They can enhance viewing angles but may not suit every room layout. Consider your seating arrangement before purchasing.
TVs are rated by refresh rate, which measures how often an image updates per second. A higher rate reduces motion blur in fast scenes. For sports or gaming, look for at least 120Hz to enjoy smoother motion.
