Nowadays it has become easy to buy a smart TV, but not being able to choose the right TV can lead to regrets later. After spending 20-30 thousand rupees, if the picture quality turns out to be bad or the software runs slow, then the whole fun gets ruined. Therefore, before buying, please check these 3 important things.

1-Picture quality- must have 4K resolution

• First of all check the resolution of the TV. HD or Full HD is now obsolete.
• Get a TV with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels). With this, movies, series and cricket matches look very sharp and clear.

Note: If the budget is low then buy at least 4K.

Even better if there is HDR10 or Dolby Vision support. This makes the color better and the contrast better.

OLED or QLED panels are expensive, but LED 4K works well too.

2-Refresh Rate-

• Better than 60HzRefresh rate tells how fast the TV screen updates the image.
• 60Hz- OK for normal viewing.
• 120Hz- Great for football, action movies and gaming.

Why is it necessary?

Motion blur is reduced at high refresh rates. Scenes with fast movement are clearly visible. Especially if you watch cricket, football or play PS5/Xbox then choose a 120Hz TV.

Operating System (OS)- Android TV / Google TV The software (OS) of the best TV determines its smartness. Android TV or Google TV is the best option. In this you can download thousands of apps from Play Store – Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+ Hotstar.

Voice Control, Chromecast and smooth interface is available.

Some companies also provide their own OS (like WebOS, Tizen), but Android TV is considered better in terms of more apps and updates.

Important tip:

• Get a TV with at least 2GB RAM so that the software does not hang.
• Avoid TVs with old OS that do not get updates.

Additional Tips

1. Also check the sound quality. Dolby Audio or 20W+ speakers are good.
2. It would be better for the future if it has HDMI 2.1 port.
3. Check the brand’s warranty (minimum 2 years) and service center availability.
4. Buy on Amazon, Flipkart or Croma after reading reviews and watching demos.
5. Buying a new smart TV is no small matter. 4K resolution, 60Hz or more refresh rate and Android/Google TV – if you check these three things then your money will be in the right place. A good TV remains the life of the house for many years.

Right now good offers are going on in the market. Choose the right TV as per your need (size, budget and usage) and get a theater like experience at home.
