Buying a TV is no small feat. With the technology market being inundated by numerous options, it is overwhelming to make a decision. Understanding just this, we have put together a tv buying guide that can help ease your decision making process and help you find what works for you! Read on for everything you need to focus on before you buy a television.

What size TV should you buy?

 While picking a TV, you have to understand that there are various tv screen sizes to choose from. Some people refer to TV buying guides to help them pick the perfect sized TV for their room. If your picture is pixelated, you're too close to the screen and it is both bad for your health and an unenjoyable viewing experience. Additionally, the TV screen size will also depend on the number of people watching a program at once. Another thing to consider while selecting a TV is the actual set up of the TV. Since televisions are slimmer today, mounting a large tv on a wall saves a significant amount of space in the room. Alternately, if you have a larger room and are opting for a large screen TV, you can use a TV unit or a stand. Today, the ideal TV size preferred by most households is 40 inches.

What are the different types of TV screens?

You might be familiar with HD Ready TV, Full HD TV, QLED TV, QLED 8K TV,UHD TV, S UHD TV and Smart TV to name a few. Honestly, with technology evolving so rapidly, there is an improvement in gadgets almost every other day. Simply broken down, there are two types of technologies in the market that you should consider- LED and OLED. LED TVs are flat screen LCD tvs that use light emitting diodes for the picture display. These are popular in the market as they are cheaper than OLEDs. OLEDs on the other hand are Organic Light Emitting Diode. This means that unlike LEDs that comprise backlighting, in this display each pixel can produce its own backlight creating better colour accuracy deeper black hues and high contrast ratios. OLEDs are also much slimmer than LED TV’s when you look at a tv screen size comparison.  Another thing to consider when looking at TV screens is resolution. The highest resolution available in the market today is an 8K or ultra HD resolution. This display is four times sharper than the previously known standard of Full HD some years ago. A 4K Ultra HD TV is ideal for bigger sized TV’s.

What is the difference between a Smart TV and an LED Tv?

Now that you have the low down on TV screens, here’s a little about smart TV’s vs LED TVs. A smart TV is different from a LED TV in that it has inbuilt WI-FI and ethernet ports for all your steaming needs. Essentially, your Smart TV is an LED Tv with internet connectivity and the ability to  connect to portable devices. So whether you want to reproduce whatever you’re viewing on your laptop, mobile phone or tablet or you want access to Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video to name a few, you now can!
