Buying a TV is opens up infinite possibilities in front of us. How to choose which one is the best one for you?
While buying a smart TV, you need to consider several things to decide whether a television set is ideal for you. Below is the complete Smart TV buying guide with key things to check while choosing the best budget smart television for your home.
1. Brand
The first and foremost thing to decide while buying a smart TV is to decide the brand you wish to buy. Usually, people prefer high-end brands, but often, they don't match your budget according to your requirements. Go for brands like Samsung, LG and Sony, Hisense, TCL and Hitachi.
2. Screen Size
Fundamentally, the experience of watching TV should be satisfactory. Hence, the screen size is also important while choosing a TV. It also depends upon where you want to place it, the room size, and how many people will be watching at a given time. Generally, a 40 inch TV is perfect for the living room. However, if your room is bigger, you can also choose 46-50 inches or more. The larger the screen size, the costlier the TV.

4. Connectivity
In a TV, look for at least 4 HDMI ports- this will take care of the fact that you don't have to change wires every time you want to connect a device. It should also have enough USB ports on offer. A 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth support would also be great.
If buying a UHD TV, look for HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 2.1, which would be beneficial in the future while for higher bandwidth connections. HDMI port 2.1 can support 4K video at up to 120fps.
Most 4K TVs support something called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), but only the recent ones have HDCP 2.2. Check for it in the spec sheet so that you don’t have any issues while streaming from a 4K source device (like a Blu-ray player) or service that is HDCP 2.2 compliant.
5. Sound
Conventional TVs with a speaker located below the screen is often out of sync with the picture. However, in Smart TVs, many models have two sound positioning tweeters at the back of the TV that enable sound to follow the action for a truly immersive experience. Brands like Samsung, Sony, LG and Hisense have this attribute. Nowadays, Smart TVs have Dolby Vision brings scenes vividly to life for authentic viewing, while Dolby Atmos fills the room with immersive surround sound. Brands like Hisense, Samsung, and Sony have this feature.
6. Price
Last but not the least, you should check while buying a Smart TV. You should check whether it justifies its features and performance. Compare the price between brands and check the features as well.
Smart TVs from top brands like Samsung, Sony, and LG are usually expensive. Compared to that, also consider other brands like, Hisense and TCL and Hitachi.
