Are you looking to buy a TV? At Electronic World, we stock a massive range of televisions, from cheap 4K TVs to cheap smart TVs, so you have plenty to choose from. Modern TVs come with many different features as well, which can make the whole process a little bit daunting.
So, in this article, we’re taking a look at what you should consider when on the market for a new set, which will help you decide which TV is best for you and your household.
Go for 4K Minimum
4K content is increasing more and more, so you have many movies and TV shows you can watch in this format. It’s also important to note that 4K TVs are also becoming cheaper, so why not choose this resolution when buying a new TV?
Full HD and 1080p TVs are not terrible, but nothing like the viewing experience of a 4K screen, especially with all the details and smooth action you’re able to enjoy when compared to lower resolution sets.
We have many 4K TVs on offer, so browse our site to see them for yourself or send us a message if you want to enquire about a particular model.
Get a Nice Sized Screen
There’s no point in buying a 4K TV if you’re watching content on a tiny screen. Most TVs nowadays have larger screens, with the smaller ones more suitable for the bedroom or kitchen. If you want to truly enjoy an immersive cinematic experience or play the latest games with the best quality, then a bigger screen is essential.
You’ll feel like you’re right there with your favourite characters or in the middle of a football game; at Electronic World, we have a myriad of sizes available, whether you’re looking for a 43-inch, a 55-inch or anything above or in-between.
Do You Want to Wall Mount Your TV?
This is an important question because, if you’re planning on wall-mounting it, you want to select a TV that is slim enough to not jut out too much from the wall. You also need to pick a television that has compatible wall mounts to ensure you can actually mount it.
Also, not everyone enjoys looking up when watching TV, so ensure you can place it at a good viewing angle for everyone in your home. Finally, remember that wall-mounted TVs are farther away from the sofa, so you may need a bigger screen to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.
Pick a TV with Good Refresh Rates
This is something that many people gloss over, but you may want to consider it if you’re a big live sports or gaming fan, for example. With a refresh rate of 60 Hz or 120 Hz, the screen re-displays information 60 times or 120 times per second, and if you’re streaming content or watching a broadcast, you get smoother action the more refresh rates the TV has.
Select a Smart TV
There’s no point in purchasing a TV that isn’t smart, as they’re pretty much the standard now. A smart TV will let you benefit from a great variety of content without having to sign up for satellite or cable, especially because of their streaming apps, like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
You can view different types of content too, such as your home photos and videos, play music, connect to people on social media, and even cast from your phone.
The huge number of apps is also a big plus, as the apps cover a range of categories, including educational, health, children’s entertainment, and sports.
Should You Get a Curved Screen?
Another thing to keep in mind is the shape of the screen. Curved screens are more immersive because they use all three dimensions: length, width and height. In addition, the curved edges of the screen replicate our peripheral vision and the way we see the world, so we feel like we have a wider field of view as well.
Curved screens may show more reflections too, which is something to consider before making a decision. Check out our cheap curved TVs if you’d like to buy one and ask us any questions you may have about it.
Pick the Type of Screen You Like
Not all screens are the same. For example, at Electronic World, we offer cheap OLED TVs, LED TV and QLED TV deals, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. OLED screens have superior image quality, richer colours, deeper blacks and gorgeous contrast.
They’re also more expensive, so think about what matters to you when choosing a TV. If you’re looking for a better image, then OLED wins, but LED TVs are nothing to sneeze at either. They’re more affordable and have a beautiful picture as well; this means that, if OLED is over your budget, you can’t go wrong with LED!
We also stock QLED screens, which is Samsung’s technology, similar to OLED. We have a vast range of Samsung 4K TVs for your consideration, so take a look to see if something catches your eye.
Consider the Ports
TVs need to connect to several devices, such as your PlayStation, so you must choose a TV that has enough ports for everything you’re looking for. Be it connecting to the internet or connecting to a Blu-ray player, we have plenty of sets at our store that allow for several USB and HDMI connections.
