The World Cup fever is well underway as teams take on each other in nail-biting finishes. Back in the day, events like Cricket and Football World Cups, and the Olympics were an occasion to buy a first TV or a new TV for the family. Over the years, the trend hasn’t changed much as the demand for a new smart TV is at a seasonal high. To make the choice easy for you, we’ve compiled a list of things to consider and the possible price range of smart TVs in Bangladesh.
Things to Consider When Buying a Smart TV
There are several points you should consider before buying a smart TV. The important ones are:
The Size
Did you know that Samsung came up with this giant 292-inch TV called “The Wall” recently? While 292 inches is certainly an overkill, it`s important to understand the optimum size that fits both your home and budget.
Typically, sizes range from 32 inches to 85 inches. Of course the higher you go, the more expensive it gets. If your budget supports it, any size between 43, 55, and 65 inches can be a great buy for a medium to large-sized room.
Design and Build Quality
The design and build quality is another aspect to consider when buying a smart TV. For example, check the bezel size as the thinner bezel looks more modern and sleeker. Also, consider checking whether the TV is a standing type or a wall mount type.
Display Type
The type of display on your smart TV will determine the overall vividness and sharpness of the panel. There are mainly three types of panels used in smart TVs. They are LED, OLED, and QLED.
LED panels are entry-level displays with good contrast and sharpness. On the other hand, OLED offers perfect blacks and excellent color accuracy. The top-of-the-line QLED is geared for use in bright environments as the panel is inherently very bright.
Resolution
Resolution is another aspect to consider as it can potentially make or break your viewing experience.
There are 4 options, HD (720P), FHD (1080P), 4K (2160P), and 8K resolution. 8K is still an emerging tech with sky-high pricing at this moment. The higher the resolution is, the higher will be the details and contrast. And needless to say, a higher resolution will incur a higher price.
