Question 1

Which is the best TV brand?

Accepted Answer

LG Electronics is widely recognized as the top-tier TV manufacturer due to its incredible picture quality and wide viewing angles. Sony and Samsung are also big-name brands with reliable reputations. If you’re looking for more affordable options, though, TCL and VIZIO have some great TVs you can get for a steal.

Question 2

Which is the worst TV brand?

Accepted Answer

Insignia and Sanyo both have bad reputations due to poor-quality products with ongoing issues, so steer clear of those brands. Sharp’s TVs are falling behind the competition too—it seems to be more dedicated to the other appliances in its large lineup.

Question 3

How big should my TV be?

Accepted Answer

Go for a TV around 40″ for a bedroom and one between 49″ and 60″ for an average-sized living room. Bigger can be better when it comes to TVs, but an enormous TV is wasted on a small room.

Question 4

What is viewing angle?

Accepted Answer

Viewing angle refers to the side angle farthest from the center of the TV where you can sit and still enjoy a high-quality picture. Sitting at any angle that isn’t straight on to the TV may result in a loss of color and contrast, so it’s important to check alternate angles.

Question 5

How much does viewing angle matter?

Accepted Answer

If you’re going to watch your TV only from straight on, any TV will be fine. But if you have multiple seating arrangements in front of the TV, you’ll probably want to consider viewing angle so everyone watching can have a good view.

Question 6

Which specs should I look out for?

Accepted Answer

You should be sure the resolution, weight, dimensions, and inputs will meet your needs. Beyond that, most other specs are just there to make a TV look impressive without saying anything meaningful about picture quality.

Question 7

What is screen resolution?

Accepted Answer

Screen resolution refers to how many pixels per inch your TV has, which affects how clear and crisp the image is.

Question 8

What screen resolution should my TV have?

Accepted Answer

Currently, the best TV resolution is 4K Ultra HD, so go for 4K Ultra HD if you want an amazing picture. However, 4K Ultra HD doesn’t really make a difference on TVs smaller than 32″, so Full HD (1080p) or even Standard HD (720p) will do just fine for smaller TVs.

Question 9

How does HDR affect TVs?

Accepted Answer

TVs with HDR have a wider range of colors, which greatly improves the picture’s vibrancy and contrast.

Question 10

Are all HDR TVs the same?

Accepted Answer

No, picture quality still varies from TV to TV, but HDR specs aren’t very helpful to determine which TV will be best. There are a variety of competing standards for HDR content that are all trying to improve your viewing experience in different ways, but any type of HDR will still support most content.

Question 11

What is a smart TV?

Accepted Answer

Smart TVs have an internet connection, usually supported by both an Ethernet port and Wi-Fi connectivity. This connection allows you to stream TV shows and movies through a variety of apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and YouTube.

Question 12

Is a smart TV worth it?

Accepted Answer

Streaming directly from your TV is awesome, but you don’t have to have a smart TV to do it. You can smart-ify any non-smart TV with an HDMI input by attaching a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV. Streaming devices like these do the same thing as a smart TV, and they aren’t very expensive. Don’t let “smart TV” be a make-or-break deal for you.

Question 13

What is display type?

Accepted Answer

Also called “TV lighting,” “display type” refers to how your TV screen is lit. These days the most common form is LED-LCD, also called LED, which is the modern version of LCD. These TVs use a liquid crystal display, which is a panel that either blocks or allows light through in specific areas on your screen. The screen is lit from the top, back, or sides by light-emitting diodes. Another display type called “OLED” incorporates the light directly into the display with organic light-emitting diodes, eliminating the need for liquid crystal displays. This allows for rich color contrast that LED can’t duplicate. The technology is expensive, but if you can afford it, you’ll get a fantastic picture with a wide viewing angle.

Question 14

What are screen refresh rates?

Accepted Answer

The refresh rate is how often the frame—or picture—on your screen changes. This is what makes video look like it’s moving. Traditionally, this happens sixty times every second, a spec that’s represented by 60 Hz.

Question 15

What is TV connectivity?

Accepted Answer

TV connectivity refers to how you connect your TV accessories to your TV. It’s important to check that a TV has the correct ports to interface with your DVRs, streaming devices, game consoles, and soundbars.

Question 16

Which connective ports does my TV need?

Accepted Answer

Most modern TV-associated devices use HDMI ports, since only HDMI can deliver 4K Ultra HD and the best sound available. If you have some outdated analog accessories, like an older game console, double-check if the TV you’re buying has the ports for the cables or connectors they require.

Question 17

Should I invest in a sound system?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the size of your TV room and your personal preference for good sound. For the best experience, a large home theater should be paired with at least a 5.1 surround sound system. But in smaller rooms, a soundbar can do a fine job on its own.

Question 18

When is the best time to buy a TV?

Accepted Answer

To keep things simple, between November and February is when you’ll normally find the best deals. Don’t shy away from the previous year’s models—you can get some killer deals on them too.

Question 19

Which cable package should I get?

Accepted Answer

There are a lot of cable TV options out there, so check these links to learn how to get an affordable cable package with plenty of HD channels to enjoy on your new, high-resolution TV.

Question 20

Should I buy a TV antenna?

Accepted Answer

For cord-cutters, pairing a TV antenna with your new TV is a great way to get local channels in HD. But if you already have a cable package, it’s a little redundant, so don’t worry about it.

Question 21

How long do TVs last?

Accepted Answer

Both OLED and LED-LCD screens can last about 100,000 hours with medium settings. If you’re watching the national average of five hours of TV per day, that comes out to be fifty-four years. As long as you’re not buying a lemon, you can look forward to many years of great entertainment.
