My Cart - Now that the festive season is out of the way, many people are already looking forward to snapping up some amazing deals in the January sales.
Even though you may be tempted to jump on the first TV deal you see, it is definitely worth checking out the features of the unit and what you will ultimately be paying for before setting your heart on that super cheap deal. It will save you a lot of trouble later on when you take it home and realise that it doesn’t have the features that you wanted!
So, what should you be looking for when scouring the January sales for a brand new TV set?
What Connections Do You Need?
Before you head out deal shopping, make sure that you count up how many connections you will need the new set to have.
This will depend on how many other devices you will need to connect to the TV, so if you are planning to have a BluRay player, gaming consoles or cable boxes plugged directly into your TV set, make sure that you will have enough ports available.
Of course, you could always rotate the cables if there aren’t enough ports, but it will save you time and effort to find a set with the right amount of ports. As a guide, many modern sets have about three or four HDMI connections.
Is Picture Quality Important?
If you are looking for a TV that you can simply watch TV on, then picture quality may just be a bonus rather than something that you actively look for.
However, if you are an avid film watcher or game player, you may want to look a little deeper at how well the TV will handle motion, colour levels and brightness. These are all important aspects that should be looked for, especially if your current TV has issues which relate to these things.
It’s also worth noting that the screen and picture quality is the only thing that you can’t upgrade on a TV. You can add better speakers and use smart TV products to make your TV experience better, but if picture quality bothers you, it should be the first thing that you look into when buying a new set.
What Smart Features Do You Need?
Smart TVs are everywhere and it can be quite tempting to see the phrase “Smart TV” and immediately think that you are getting a great deal.
However, every brand has a different set of features on their smart TV units, so it’s important to do your research and find a brand and model that will contain features that you will benefit from.
Make a list of the features that you want to be able to access, such as Netflix and BBC iPlayer and take a look at which sets have those services available on their system.
Buying a TV in the sales doesn’t have to be a stressful situation, and can actually be quite easy to do if you know what you are looking for. Researching different manufacturers and models before you head out is the only way that you will be able to find the perfect TV for your needs!
