Guide to buying the perfect flat screen TV
Televisions now come with an array of features and missing any important one would mean compromising on your TV watching experience. There are several brands offering different types of flat screen TVs.
Buying a television may be a daunting task for non-tech-savvy buyers, which could make the buying process unpleasant for them. If you are looking for a new flat screen TV, here is a brief guide to help you in the process.
Best time to buy
TV prices are the highest in the initial days when they are just newly launched in the market. However, the prices slowly start falling as the months go by. If you are fine with waiting for the right time to buy a new television, November would be a good time. Black Friday is one of the best days to buy electronics, especially TVs, as the prices are unbelievably low on this day. Almost every television in most stores sees an attractive price cut on Black Friday. The prices usually remain low until the holiday season is on.
Specifications
Do not dive deep into the specifications as sometimes that may take your attention off from the important features you may be looking at. Make sure you look at the important ones, like the resolution and the connectivity options.
Screen size
When you are zeroing down on the size of the screen, you need to take into consideration, the area where you intend to place the TV in and the number of people in your house. Measure out the area where you want to mount or place your flat screen TV and get the maximum size that can fit there. Consider the number of people and if the screen size in question can offer quality and comfortable viewing when all the members are watching the television at the same time.
Resolution
You are bound to come across various resolution options when buying a new television. HD televisions (720p) offer HD content and are ideal for smaller televisions. The most commonly offered resolution for flat-screen TVs is the 1080p range, which offers content with full HD detail. However, if you are opting for a television that has a larger screen size, then opting for a 4K or Ultra HD TV is the best option. 4K televisions use four times the pixels of an HD television thereby offering stunning clarity, especially on big screens.
LED or OLED
Apart from your budget, a number of factors will help determine which type is the ideal one for you. LED televisions (a subset of LCD televisions) are ideal for being placed in rooms that are well lit. OLED TVs work well in all light conditions and are ideal if you want to get thinner TV models.
Once you have narrowed down on the features that you want in your television, make sure you compare the features and prices of the different models that offer these features. So what are you waiting for? Visit your nearest electronic store and get yourself that brand new flat screen television.
