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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’re big on movie nights, then this set is one of the best TVs for watching movies. With adaptive features that enhances the viewing experience, this TV’s powerful crisp and colourful display optimizes the screen’s content scene by scene. The light control allows you to see detail in bright areas. So, grab your popcorn and enjoy (no matter how long the movie is!).
Watching sports on a phone or tablet just doesn’t cut it. Instead, consider this high-quality LED panel from LG, which uses the Korean company’s acclaimed display tech to make even the fastest moving athletes and action render smoothly, crisply and in detailed 4K Ultra HD. It’s also available to purchase in 50 inches, 55 inches and 70 inches.
When shopping for a TV for gaming, it’s all about picture quality and performance (input lag is a no-no). This Samsung panel uses QLED technology and HDR to render an astounding array of authentic colours while bringing out details in shadows and clouds, all while delivering smooth action. For gamers, it’s like opening a window into the worlds you explore. Aside from 55 inches, it’s available at 43 inches, 50 inches, 65 inches and 75 inches. You might also like our reviews of the hottest new PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch games.
If budget isn’t a concern, then this model is the one for you. LG’s OLED TV technology lights up each of this panel’s eight million pixels individually, ensuring unparalleled detail and colour accuracy. TV picture quality doesn’t get much better than this for movies, TV and sports.
Android TVs are a fantastic way to easily find and stream content and even mirror pictures and videos from your mobile devices. This Sony TV can do all that, plus it has lots of usability features to go with it like Google TV, exclusive features for the PlayStation 5 (like auto HDR and auto Game Mode to maximize image detail and minimize input lag) and immersive cinematic content through Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced and Netflix Calibrated Mode.
