Maybe, by objective standards, it is; or maybe not. Regardless, the right TV fit for you is going to be, well, all about YOU. The best way to choose the right smart TV is to pick the one that compliments your preferences, desires and standards for home entertainment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart TVs nowadays come with streaming platform-integration, making it easier for anyone to watch shows or movies from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Fox. That, however, isn\u2019t the only feature worth spending your money on. Choosing the best screen for you also means deciding on size, display technology and quality, and screen resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different TVs can have similar or varied specs. If you don\u2019t exactly know what to look for, don\u2019t worry \u2013 we\u2019ve prepared the basics for you below, which should help you find your dream TV.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weigh-your-options-know-what-to-look-for-in-a-tv\">Weigh Your Options: Know What to Look For in a TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-size\">Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-21890 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/f3a4650a5611203853c64a859437bee6.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"401\" height=\"172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/f3a4650a5611203853c64a859437bee6.png\" alt=\"Smart TV Buying Guide: Choosing Based on Your Entertainment Needs\" class=\"wp-image-21890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/f3a4650a5611203853c64a859437bee6.png 401w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/f3a4650a5611203853c64a859437bee6-300x129.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/span><figcaption>Image Source: iconclik<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart TVs naturally come in different sizes. If you have a specific size in mind, then you\u2019ll only have to consider the place where you\u2019re planning to put it. Before deciding on a size however, you must also consider your budget. The bigger the TV, the lighter your wallet will become.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does size matter? It\u2019s simple \u2013 you might regret purchasing a TV too big for your bedroom or, inversely, one too small for your desired viewing experience. If you don&#8217;t have a specific size in mind, just make sure the TV fits your space nicely and provides the level of viewing impact you desire &#8212; how big do you wanna see the big game, <em>The Bachelor<\/em>, or the <em>Planet Earth?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to visualize how a size might fit in your room, you can use your measuring tape to jot down the room\u2019s dimensions. If you want to be more specific, you can try creating cardboard panels as surrogates on your walls. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the size, you should also consider the distance between you (the viewer) and the TV. The larger the screen, the further away you will want to be seated. Although there\u2019s no definitive way of calculating your screen\u2019s ideal size, you can ask for advice from professionals at the local retail store. There you can also canvass and weigh the sizes that work for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-resolution\">Resolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/b4bcb1eab42a0cd92e32a151c71b63c4.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"372\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/b4bcb1eab42a0cd92e32a151c71b63c4.png\" alt=\"Smart TV Buying Guide: Choosing Based on Your Entertainment Needs\" class=\"wp-image-21891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/b4bcb1eab42a0cd92e32a151c71b63c4.png 372w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/b4bcb1eab42a0cd92e32a151c71b63c4-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resolution is the term for a screen\u2019s number of pixels. In the case of flat panels, the more pixels you have, the sharper and better the quality of the display. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you thought we were done discussing size, think again. When deciding on resolution, the size of the TV is, once again, an important factor. The larger the screen, the more pixels you need. Keeping the resolution count constant, if you then stretch those same number of pixels across a larger screen, you lose clarity and sharpness in the display.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking at screen sizes less than 40 inches, then you don&#8217;t need to buy a TV that offers 4k resolution (3840 x 2160). 4k is intended for larger size screens. Also take note that some companies refer to 4k as \u201cUltra HD.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-display-technology\">Display Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-21892 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/6bd50544e996e5e389f9d45e148d6e47.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/6bd50544e996e5e389f9d45e148d6e47.png\" alt=\"Smart TV Buying Guide: Choosing Based on Your Entertainment Needs\" class=\"wp-image-21892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/6bd50544e996e5e389f9d45e148d6e47.png 361w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/6bd50544e996e5e389f9d45e148d6e47-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/span><figcaption>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home-theater\/best-tvs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Trends<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are only two display technologies in the market today: LED LCD and OLED. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LED LCD screens are more common \u2013 a screen uses LED pixels through an LCD filter to produce an image. This screen type provides more natural lighting and photos that are typically sharper. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OLED screens, on the other hand, skip the backlight by powering each pixel with an electric current. As a result, the display has better contrast and can respond faster to input changes. This type is also a lot more expensive to produce and purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing which one is better is difficult to say, since some manufacturers try to add their own changes, tweaks, or added technologies on top of each type. In fact, some brands like Samsung offer LED LCD screens in purer colors, making them like OLED screens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing which one is better suited for you all about your preference.

Units from Samsung, Panasonic, TCL, and Sony all grant access to streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and many others. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are still variations \u2013 however minor \u2013 so if you\u2019re looking for the most extensive app library, you might want to invest in a TCL or Sony set. It may even be better for you to plug in Chromecast, Roku, or Apple TV rather than relying solely on your unit\u2019s built-in software. These external sources will provide you better app choices and will regularly run automatic updates for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of thinking too long about the software, check if the TV has numerous ports, allowing you to can connect everything you need. Compatibility wise,&nbsp; if you use tons of Google products, you might be most streamlined across devices with an Android TV. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-picture-enhancing-features\">Picture-Enhancing Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you continue to narrow down your TV choices, begin to consider your desire for picture-improving technology. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some TVs offer high dynamic range, better known as HDR. This feature improves the quality of the picture by lengthening the range of colors and bringing out their darkest and lightest parts. If retailers offer you screens with Dolby vision, choose the one that has HDR support since it will provide better displays.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also check out the refresh rate: how often a TV changes the image (also known as a &#8220;frame&#8221;) on screen per second. The more times the display refreshes, the sharper the image. When you\u2019re out canvassing, don\u2019t be fooled by the terms \u201ceffective refresh rates\u201d since these are more likely to be exaggerated. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-extra-purchasing-tips\">Extra Purchasing Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may now have a better idea of what to look for in your smart TV.
