A television is a must have for every family. No matter how addicted we all are on smartphones and computers, at the end of the day we all gather in front of a TV and gossip among family members. Television is also a very important part of your drawing room where your guests get to know the most about your choice, taste, and lifestyle.
Since the technology is evolving rapidly, it is important to know about the specifications and features of all the latest TVs if you want to buy a new TV in 2018. So we have come up with a detailed guide to help you find the best TV for you within your budget.
Screen Size
Choose the size of the TV monitor based on the space on your wall where you will put it. Also, you should consider the distance between the TV and the viewers. For example, a large display would be painful and not good at all for you if your room is too small that even the maximum distance you can manage to be away from the TV makes you move your eyeballs in order to see the whole screen at once.
You should check it in the showroom if the display size is comfortable for you from the average approximate viewing distance you will have in your room where you will put the TV.
Resolution
See the meaning of available resolutions for TVs or all types of screens/monitors. The higher is the resolution, the better is the sharpness and details of the pictures. Go for the highest possible resolution within your budget.
- HD: 1280×720
- Full HD/2K: 1920×1080
- Ultra HD/4K: 3840×2160
Try to buy a TV with Ultra HD display even though it is smaller than you wished for. Always remember that resolution matters most. The more the PPI (Pixel Per Inch), the better is the picture. You can measure the PPI dividing the resolution with the area of the monitor in the square inch.
HDR
As you have just known about the highest resolution available on the market(4K), if you have a budget of around BDT 40,000 and want to experience something more than Ultra HD/4K, we suggest you Sony Bravia 75 Inch 75X8500D 4K Ultra HD with Wi-Fi Smart Android TV. It is compatible with the latest HDR technology (High Dynamic Range).
You will observe a massive difference in color, contrast, brightness, and sharpness in the picture quality on an HDR supported TV other than a normal 4K Ultra HD TV which doesn’t support it. Note that this HDR feature is not applicable for resolutions less than 4K(3840×2160).
Features:
There are a lot of smart features available on the recent Televisions. If you want to get the most out of a TV, you should browse through the specifications thoroughly. Most Full HD TVs are smart TVs, if not, check the specs or search the Internet. Some models support Android apps, some support Wi-Fi streaming, while others support Netflix, Amazon etc. Once you set your budget, you should compare among the TVs of the same price range and find out the one having more distinctive features and connectivity options.
There are several new upcoming technologies such as bendable or roll-able displays and OLED. OLED displays are already available on many smartphones; those displays are the best. Those are capable of creating absolute black by turning off the pixels totally. The other colors also feel more realistic because of OLED technology. Curved, bendable or rollable displays might cost huge money, but they are not worth it. The curvature of a display doesn’t improve the viewing experience at all.
Warranty
Within the same budget range, go for the brand which offers the longest warranty period. It will give you a peace of mind and also save you a lot of money if any part of your TV starts to malfunction within the warranty period. The same applies to return policy and guarantee.
Brand
Never buy TVs from brands other than Samsung, Sony, and LG. At present in Bangladesh, there are a lot of new brands which are making TVs with almost same features and specifications as the above mentioned 3 bands. But those TVs are being made with cheap electronic parts which result in low picture quality and shortened lifespan. Don’t be excited about seeing their low price yet huge specs. Go for quality other than quantity.
YouTube Reviews:
There is a saying that it is better to learn from others’ mistakes than learning from your own mistakes. Especially when you are going to spend a large amount of money, you cannot afford to do a mistake by choosing a TV which can make you regret later. We just told you about three brands- Samsung, Sony, and LG.
You can find the hands-on reviews of every available Television of these brands on YouTube. But you can hardly find a good review of Televisions from other new brands. You can know the pros and cons, hidden bugs, issues and opinion/user experience for a particular TV model from YouTube. This you can be more confident about your decision.
Conclusion:
As you have already read about the ins and outs of all the factors that should be considered while choosing your new TV in 2018, it is time to know about the final step- from where to buy. Most of us prefer to buy TVs from the nearest showrooms of the respective brand. You are most advised to visit the showroom to see the performance of your chosen TV yourself for the final decision.
But if the showroom is too far from you or you want to save some of your hard earned money, you can order your desired Samsung, Sony or LG Television from Star Tech website. Star Tech can provide you with the same original product with the same warranty and other facilities at a reduced price than that of a showroom. You can check the price and specifications of the latest Televisions available in Bangladesh from Star Tech and see for yourself!
