How to choose a TV? 2024 TV Buying Guide

Think about what you need a TV for?

Assess the space where you plan to place the TV.

Choosing the right size TV for your space is a crucial factor in getting the best picture. Simply put, to get the most out of your TV, its size and the size of your room are very important.

Be sure to measure how far you will have to watch the TV and choose the size (diagonal) accordingly. The table below will help you with this:

TV diagonal	Recommended distance from the TV
32 inches	1.2 meters
40 inches	1.5 meters
43 inches	1.7 meters
50 inches	1.9 meters
55 inches	2.1 meters
Larger models	Height of the TV multiplied by 3, in centimeters

What will you use the TV for?

Answer the question, why do you need a TV?

Just to watch
To play
To watch live broadcasts
To use applications
Just as a room decoration

The correct answer to this question, or the sum of the answers, will help you choose the right model and technology if you use your TV for multiple purposes, which we will discuss in more detail below. For example, gamers need models with more RAM and a higher refresh rate, while moviegoers focus on image quality.

TVs and technology, overview of key features

Screen technologies

OLED, QLED or LED?

The main differentiator of televisions is their technology. Today, the market focuses on 3 main directions:

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
QLED (Quantum Dot LED)
Traditional LED (Light-Emitting Diode)

The main feature of OLED technology is the delivery of so-called true black and other colors, which it achieves by individually illuminating pixels.

QLED, on the other hand, balances color accuracy and sharpness, while LED, despite not being distinguished by similar capabilities, still remains a budget and, to put it simply, "just a TV" option.

8K or 4K?

The debate about which television technology is better is very active around the world.

8K TVs boast amazingly accurate detail, but the technology is still being refined, so 4K is still more popular, especially among consumers.

System features

The so-called refresh rate plays a special role for gamers. The higher it is, the smoother the game will be. As a rule, a rate higher than 120Hz is considered ideal for games.

Also worth considering is HDR, which is responsible for contrast and color diversity, which leads to a more realistic image.

Popular HDR formats include HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Be sure to check for compatibility with any of these formats when choosing a TV.

Smart TVs and their features

Smart TV operating systems

Smart TVs will be the choice of more and more consumers in 2024. Popular choices include Android TV, Tizen, WebOS, and more.

Each operating system is distinguished by its ecosystem and interface.

For example, Android TV is known for its flexibility and wide availability of applications. Tizen, which is equipped with Samsung TVs, connects with other Samsung devices, while WebOS, which is the operating system of LG models, is distinguished by maximum simplicity and an easy-to-understand interface for the user.

Voice control and AI compatibility

In modern TVs, voice recognition and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly important.

Voice control allows you to control the model without a remote control, switch channels, access applications, etc. While artificial intelligence studies your interests, habits and adapts the interface and suggestions to it, which means that the TV is as personalized as possible.

Such smart models are usually expensive, but their prices are gradually decreasing and the number of sales on the global market is increasing.

Ports and network compatibility

A modern TV is no longer used just for viewing images. It is a kind of hub for various entertainment resources. Accordingly, adequate ports are becoming very important.

In general, USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity are the bare minimum that a 2024 TV should have.

Sound settings, what does good sound mean for a TV?

While visual settings are probably still of primary importance, I definitely don't recommend ignoring sound.

Premium brands and models can provide the best sound with built-in devices, but again, it depends on your needs. If you don't particularly care about sound, buy a standard model and use additional speakers or an amplifier if necessary.

TV prices and buying alternatives
