You use your TV for everything from entertaining friends to learning crucial cooking techniques, which is why sudden electronic problems can feel so frustrating. In addition to finding a great deal on a new television, you might also worry about choosing the perfect system for your family and lifestyle. Fortunately, by following these three simple rules for buying a TV, you won’t have to live with buyer’s remorse.

Understand Your Options

Technology moves at an incredible pace, which is why you might be inundated with terms you have never heard of the minute you step into the television section of your favorite electronics store. Before you start shopping seriously for a new television, explore the latest features to learn more about the technology. For example, did you know that 4K televisions offer four times the amount of pixels as a 1080p TV, or that experts don’t recommend investing in a curved screen?

Many televisions also come with internet connectivity, inputs for USB drives, and even thin styling to make your media center look sleeker. To improve your shopping experience, take the time to evaluate different technologies, models, and manufacturers to understand your options. 

Size Up, Not Down

Often, people are happy with the picture and sound their TV produces, but disappointed in the size they decided to purchase. Instead of sizing down, measure your TV area carefully and consider choosing the next size up. Professionals typically recommend a 40-inch screen for bedrooms and at least a 55-inch screen for living rooms or viewing areas.

Consider Ease of Use

Last but not least, think carefully about accessibility and ease of use. Check the remote control to make sure you understand how it should be used and whether or not it contains convenient features like backlit buttons or a contoured handle. Also, make sure your TV can be mounted on a wall if you need to rotate the screen occasionally. If you aren’t sure how easy your system will be to use, check online reviews to see what other customers have to say.
