How then can you make a decision about which one suits your room and needs ideally? Choosing a TV that best matches your room may be quite a hassle, but we have prepared tips to guide you to make the right decision. We hope this makes it easier and faster for you to pick out your perfect TV. Please read on!
Essential Things You Should Consider When Choosing A TV
Your Budget
Rule number one when shopping for a TV is never to forget to check the price before anything else! Most of the time, the price of an item turns out to be the deciding factor at the end of the day. For instance, you’ll find screens for an LED screen hire that range from $400 to over $3000. Of course, these screens are more suited for events. However, the point is that you don’t want to first consider any other factor before checking out the price tag because you might be forced to spend above your budget or, worse, let the TV go after hours of testing and checking since you can’t afford it. So, never forget to pick a range that fits your budget before considering other factors. What if you don’t find the ideal one that fits into your budget? You can consider to wait until a holiday discounted period, where retailers offer for example, a TV sale.
The Size
A bigger TV may sound like a better TV, but after considering the size of your room, you might want to change your mind about that. We are not just talking about the size of your TV here but also the size of your room. Resist the urge to go for a huge TV when your room size is small. Of course, you want a better view, but also consider your eyes when opting for one. Although some TVs are viewed closely without seeing the pixels, sitting too close to a TV (or using a big TV in a small space) can cause eye strain. Here’s how to pick your TV by size; Calculate your viewing distance, divide it by two and get the TV size of that inches or close to that inches.
For example, if you sit 12 feet from your TV, that is 144 inches (convert the feet to inches- 12 feet × 12 inches)
144÷2 = 72.
The ideal screen size for you, in this case, is 72 inches (diagonal measurement).
Smart TVs
Don’t get all grumpy because you can’t afford a smart TV! Here’s something you probably don’t know about TVs: You can make a non-smart TV smart by using external devices like Roku, Nvidia shield TV, Apple TV, and lots more. Streaming devices are not costly and can allow you to connect to the internet, play your games in real-time and watch your favorite movies on Netflix! Another added advantage? They are not expensive! So, you can stick to your budget and achieve a smart TV too.
The Screen Resolution
Don’t leave out the screen resolution when choosing your TV, especially if you play video games and enjoy quality views. TVs with HDR (High Dynamic Range) show images more realistically than the ones without. LED (Light Emitting Diodes) screen TVs most especially possess this quality and can produce a higher contrast ratio. Experts have explained that since LED TVs can’t show black as deep as OLED TVs, the HDR feature allows them to use the brighter tone to produce a more quality image. When choosing a TV, make sure to choose one with HDR.
Tv Ports And Connection
If you are a big-time gamer, you know how vital TV ports are! Always check for TVs with ports and setups that can accommodate your sound devices, gaming consoles, streaming devices, and other external devices you might want to connect to the TV. Here is the list of essential ports and connection you should check for:

With all the tips above, choosing a TV for your room and the one that best suits your needs should not be stressful anymore. You simply need to be patient. Here’s everything in summary; Choose a TV that fits your budget, has high screen resolution, possesses the necessary ports and connections you need, and fits the size of your room. Now you see that you don’t have to rob a bank to get a nice, quality TV that suits your needs. Have fun finding the perfect one!
