Things to Consider when buying a Smart TV



Getting a smart Tv is what everyone wants, however it is important to note the following things before getting a smart tv.
Majority of TVs sold today are considered smart TVs. Smart TVs represent the convergence of computers and entertainment with integrated internet and an array of free and paid apps.
Before we go any further, let’s get to know what a smart tv is.
What Is a Smart TV? www.alabamart.com/catalog?subcategory=Smart-Tvs
A Smart TV incorporates an operating system, allowing users to access streaming content without plugging in an external device. Smart TVs are popular with people who enjoy watching the latest shows on Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming platforms.
You can access, manage, and view online and network-based content with a smart TV. Almost all TVs sold today are considered smart TVs, and many manufacturers, including LG [url]Hisense[/url] [url]Maxi[/url] [url]Samsung[/url] [url]Panasonic[/url] all sell smart TVs.

Top Things to Consider When Buying a Smart TV
Before deciding on a smart TV, there are few key factors to consider when shopping:

• Cost
• Size
• Resolution
• HDR
• Refresh rates
• Integrations
• Apps

COST
How Much Should a Smart TV Cost?
No matter your budget, you should be able to find a smart TV you can afford. However, a higher budget will bring you additional features, bigger sizes, and higher resolutions. It may be worth it to invest in a higher-priced smart TV to future-proof your investment, but if you need something affordable right now, you’ll still be able to find a quality device.
Prices vary widely between manufacturers and models. Find different brands, model and sizes on alabamart.

SIZE:
What Size Should My Smart TV Be?
Size and resolution have a significant effect on a TV’s price tag, so it’s essential to carefully consider the size you want when buying a new smart TV.
To determine the best smart TV size, measure the room’s dimensions where you’ll place the TV, and then decide which display size provides the viewing experience you want without overpowering the room.
Smart TVs come in an array of sizes that varies by manufacturer. The most common sizes are 32 inches, 40 inches, 43inches, 50 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches, and 75 inches (measured diagonally). Anything over 65 inches moves you into a much higher-priced category. There’s also an extremely high-end market that caters to those who want 80-inches, 85-inches, 100-inches smart TVs.
Even if you’ve measured your TV room, you might find it difficult to picture exactly how your smart TV will fit. You’re not alone. [url]Samsung[/url], [url]Sony[/url], [url]LG[/url], and [url]TCL[/url] have augmented reality apps that allow customers to view how a TV will look in a room. Best Buy also offers an AR viewer so you can check how your new equipment will fit.

RESOLUTION
What Resolution Should a Smart TV Have?
Most TVs come in three resolutions: 1080p, 4K, and 8K.
We recommend getting a 4K resolution TV for the best overall usage. 1080p resolution TVs are fine, but they’re outdated by today’s standards, and you no longer pay any price penalty for getting the higher resolution. 8K resolution TVs are now where 4K TVs used to be: High-end with a high price tag.
4K, also known as Ultra HD, is an excellent middle ground as it’s a high-quality resolution with many affordable options available. Plus, many streaming services and apps offer 4K content, so you can take full advantage of what they offer.

HDR (HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE)
Should a Smart TV Have HDR Support?
Most of the best smart TVs will come with a picture-improving technology called HDR (high dynamic range).
HDR brings out a high level of detail in the darkest and lightest parts of a picture and improves the range of colors. You may encounter various HDR formats like HDR10, Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), but as long as the display has some HDR support, you’re good to go. Differences between the formats are minimal.

REFERSH RATE:
What Refresh Rate Should a Smart TV Have?
Smart TV displays offer 60Hz or 120Hz refresh rates. This measurement refers to how many times the image resets per second. The more times it refreshes, the sharper the image stays, and the less motion blur you’ll experience.
A high refresh rate is excellent when watching sports, but be careful when watching movies at higher refresh rates. Films displayed that way can take on a look that does not mimic what you’d see in the movie theater.
You’ll likely keep the refresh rate set to 60Hz for most content, even on a higher-end TV.

INTREGREATIONS:
What Integrations Should a Smart TV Support?
One of the most compelling features of a smart TV is its ability to integrate with other smart devices in your home and utilize voice commands. For example, Android TVs from Sony, LG, Hisense, Panasonic have Google Chromecast and Google Assistant built-in. So, if you have a smart home with many Google devices, an Android TV would allow you to control your devices via the TV.
If you have Amazon Alexa-enabled devices throughout your home, such as Echo Shows or Echo Dots, buying a smart TV that integrates Alexa makes sense.
Consider your home, your other devices, and preferences when deciding if you should buy a smart TV that integrates with a particular platform.

APPS:
What Apps Should a Smart TV Offer?
A smart TV’s primary purpose is to entertain, and your entertainment preferences will be a significant consideration when choosing a smart TV. Services like Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime are widely available across many platforms, but not all smart TVs will support all apps.
All smart TVs will have some apps preinstalled, and most will have app stores where you can select and download additional apps. For example, Samsung smart TVs let you access the Samsung App Store, and LG TVs can access the LG Content Store. On the other hand, Other smart TVs may have all their apps preinstalled. It adds new apps via updates, but you’d have to cast or screen mirror content from unsupported apps.
Check any smart TV you’re considering purchasing for its installed and available apps to ensure your favorites are onboard. Or, consider a device like a Roku stick to help supplement accessible apps.
