Before buying a TV, you should have a basic understanding of the specs that matter. Here’s a quick list of some of the most important features.
If good picture quality is important to you and you’re looking to save a bit of money, QLED TVs like this TCL 55” can be a better value versus OLEDs that tend to be more expensive. This TV’s Quantum-dot (the Q in QLED) display creates more accurate colours to improve image clarity and make the onscreen action appear more lifelike. You can also get the TV in 50 inches, making it a solid budget QLED choice.
Your top priority for watching big games with friends and family is a broad, clear display with great viewing angles. With its 4K ultraHD resolution and bright, crisp LCD display technology, that’s exactly what this huge (and hugely affordable!) Hisense set delivers.
Smaller TVs still have a place in our bedrooms, kitchens and even small living rooms. This 32-inch screen from TCL is a fine fit for any of these spots, either sitting on its legs or mounted to a wall. It’s not a 4K TV, but more pixels don’t really make sense on smaller screens viewed from a distance. This 32-inch Sanyo smart TV might also do the trick.
If you’re looking for the best 4K TV with superb image quality and are willing to splurge a bit, this one tops our list. This new model is great for streaming or gaming and with its Ultra Viewing Angle, you’ll have the best seat in the house wherever you’re sitting. Plus, Samsung is one of the best TV brands—rest assured you’re getting bang for your buck.
This 4K smart TV is a great choice if you’re looking for a cinematic-like experience on a budget. The crystal display delivers true-to-life colour and detail for immersive viewing. It’s also available in 43 inches, 50 inches and 65 inches all for less than $1,000. Looking for a bigger size TV without breaking the bank? This 75-inch set offers stunning 4K UHD picture quality and the personalized home screen has access to thousands of streaming channels, plus apps like Netflix, Spotify and the Roku Channel.
TCL’s Class 4 series panels are proof that a great gaming display doesn’t need to break the bank. It checks all the vital boxes for gamers—4K resolution, HDR support, 60 fps refresh, 65-inches—while coming in well under $1,000. This one’s a steal.
Cinephiles take picture quality seriously and so does Sony. This LED panel is outfitted with the Japanese TV giant’s X1 processor and Triluminous Pro technology to deliver ultra-clear, perfectly hued images along with powerful, theatre-quality Dolby Atmos sound.
Eight-million self-lit pixels means each and every dot of light on this OLED-powered LG panel is doing exactly what it’s supposed to at any given fraction of a second, whether that means exploding with colourful flame or remaining completely black to convey the inkiness of night. It’s technological magic.
If you want a TV that can grab content from the air rather than requiring you to hook up a variety of devices, Philips Android-based TV is a good bet. It can even connect with Google-supported smart home devices to serve as a control hub for all your smart home tech.
