Five keys

for buying a perfect TV

Buying a TV can be thrilling, yet daunting.

Experts say to pay attention to at least five things.

1. Size Size alone shouldn’t be the deciding factor, but it will be a large part of your decision–both literally and figuratively.

“I always tell people to buy the biggest screen that they can afford and that will fit in their room,” says Tim Alessi, the director of product marketing at LG Electronics.

“Because I’ve never met anybody yet who has said, ‘Oh darn. I wish I bought a smaller TV’.”

The opposite is often true: Consumers bring a TV home and wish they had gone larger. Alessi notes screens 70 inches and above are a huge growth category in the TV industry right now.

Think about where you want to put your TV and what size will fit. Online, many retailers allow you to filter your search according to criteria like screen size and brand.

2. Budget But you need room for that big TV

in your budget. Thankfully, there are always deals going.

If you don’t want to wait until the next Boxing Day sales, then keep an eye out for Easter specials and other pop-up discounts; check the big box retailers online.

But there will be other things to account for in your budget, like accessories and installation, so don’t commit to a dollar figure just yet.

like the TV’s smart capability. Do you want a TV that can tell your Roomba to start cleaning?

And as for the all-important decision of LCD versus OLED, here’s a quick cheat sheet from Brennan. For the most part, LCD (which has an LED backlight) works well in bright rooms, while OLED suits dark environments dedicated to TV viewing.

3. Connectivity and colour

Next, make sure you have any extra equipment you’ll need.

Sound is an especially important consideration. You could use the TV’s sound as is, but you may consider buying a sound bar or audio/video receiver separately to enhance the sound, according to Michael Greco, senior director of global brand management at Sound United.

If you do, remember to read the “What’s in the box” packaging. (I can’t be the only person who ordered a TV without the necessary cables to hook it up.)

“I would always double-check what’s in the box and make sure you have the right cables in the box,” says Greco.

“If not, you’ll need to buy them at the

once you’ve narrowed the selection, think about what you want it to do. If you’re upgrading for the first time in years, compare the latest innovations to see which ones match your viewing habits.

“Typically in the US, consumers hold onto a television for about five to seven years,” says Rob Brennan, the product technology manager for home entertainment and sound at Sony Electronics.

“If you’re coming into the market now, then the last time you bought a television was sometime in 2013 or 2014. A lot has changed in that window.”

Ask yourself questions about things

time you buy your TV or your audio equipment.”

5. Ideal installation finally, make a plan to get that fancy new screen home. Particularly for wall mounting, as opposed to a TV stand, consider springing for professional delivery and installation.
