Since the pandemic, there has been a soar in films skipping cinema release and heading straight to the small screen, allowing the public instant access through online streaming platforms. Whilst this seemed to be a measure in response to the lockdowns, several smaller and even larger budget movies have seen this as an excellent opportunity.
Not only does it cut some costs, but it can offer popularity much quicker than releasing to cinemas due to the larger available audience. Films available direct from home instead of cinemas can allow for a larger demographic who otherwise would have waited, and the buzz about the film may have long passed by the time they come to view it. Films such as “Luca” received an excellent reception when it was released directly to streaming, and since the pandemic, we have seen even big film releases reach online platforms much quicker than in years gone by.
This new age of movie watching has created a hybrid and fast turnaround on films reaching larger audiences and is a great excuse to ensure you are getting the best cinematic experience with a cheap smart TV.

The Benefits of Watching New Releases on a Smart TV
With all these exciting and big-name films released directly to your TV, you will want to ensure you get the best home cinema experience possible. The best way to ensure you have the best seat in the house is by purchasing a cheap 4K TV.
Upgrading to a smart TV can eliminate unnecessary wires and external devices. This can offer your room a more minimalistic aesthetic while providing fewer wires and the ability to mount your TV onto the wall for that authentic cinema feel without worrying about where to put your external portable streaming device.
Whilst we offer cheap TVs, they are certainly not lacking in quality, and our range of OLED and QLED devices can provide detail and quality that you can rely on for an immersive experience.
For example, even some of our cheapest Samsung TVs come with a beautiful QLED display which offers a broader colour palette and can provide an impressive detail on screen that you may not have seen on earlier LED models. This extra depth can help with immersive film viewing, making you feel like part of the action. In addition, with an ultra viewing angle and an anti-reflective screen, every seat will be the best in the house, bringing the cinema home to you.
If sound quality is what you are looking for in a TV, then our cheap Sony 4k TVs can provide you with lifelike sound thanks to Dolby Atmos, one of the most advanced audio technologies available. Raindrops feel like they are happening in the room, and if you choose a Bravia XR Sony TV, you will experience the XR Surround sound. There is no need for external up-facing speakers; this incredible feature offers surround sound from the TV alone, giving you perfect audio each time.
Time to Ditch the Dongle
As technology develops, more and more external devices are becoming futile in the modern age. Many are starting to fail upgrades and struggle to keep up with the latest download speeds. External dongles and boxes that were the only way of accessing streaming services are now more accessible through a smart TV. In addition, with more content coming 4K ready, many old external devices can’t offer the same quality a new smart TV can.
With the cheap TVs available from our online shop, you can afford a smart TV for less than you thought. If you are ready to upgrade to a new TV which can do it all, check out our incredible range of cheap smart TVs online, or visit us at our warehouse in Birmingham.
