When it comes to choosing a new television, we’ve been offering high-quality cheap TVs since 1985. So, whether you’re looking to upgrade to a better picture quality, a bigger screen or you’re experiencing image issues, we understand every reason for needing a new one.
Let’s take a look at some of the common reasons for upgrading your TV:
Updating to More Modern Technology: Smart TVs
Smart TVs connect to your internet and provide a full multimedia experience. You won’t need to connect an antenna or subscribe to cable or satellite services. The built-in WIFI means that you can easily connect to streaming services, like Netflix, Amazon and YouTube. These apps are accessible from one home screen, so you don’t have to change the input or swap remotes.
Smart TVs really do enhance the overall viewing experience, as well as choice for the whole family, and ease of viewing. If you already have a smart TV and it’s become laggy or slow, this may be a sign that your internal storage is full or possibly the manufacturer no longer updates the built-in apps.
Just like any ageing technology, it might be time to consider saying goodbye to your old set. Our range of smart TVs are 4K ready, giving you the best picture definition at a great price.
Wanting Better Picture Quality
On average, modern TVs are brighter and give you a better picture quality (4K) and so upgrading your old television can certainly reduce problems, such as image issues, dead pixels and colour distortion. Our 4K TVs will give you richer and more life-like images. You’ll be able to see small objects on the screen in more detail, including sharper text.
The crisp picture makes it more comfortable to watch TV from both shorter and longer distances, meaning large TVs have become suitable for any size of living room. If you’re buying a TV in 2021, you can also take advantage of High Dynamic Range imaging. HDR is the name of the feature that delivers higher contrast or larger colour and brightness range, all of which vastly improves the colours on your TV.
When buying a new TV, it’s important to consider the screen refresh time. The refresh rate on a television (in Hertz), refers to how many times per second a picture is refreshed on the screen. Some countries have a standard refresh rate of 50 times per second (50 Hz), others 60. When you’re watching movies or sports with fast-moving objects, a low refresh rate can cause blurring.
To guarantee a clearer picture, refresh rates of up to 240 Hz have been created. If you are a gamer then you’ll appreciate a higher refresh rate more, though, with a games console, 60 Hz is ideal.
Increasing the Size of My TV Screen
When choosing a new TV, it’s important to consider the size of the screen, not just for aesthetic reasons but for the overall viewing experience. Small screens are better suited in bedrooms and kitchens because of space and also they’re more convenient if you want to move the screen around your home.
Though in the living room, we’d suggest taking full advantage of your entertainment system by choosing a good quality, large screen 4K TV for the whole family. The most obvious reason for choosing a big screen tv is being able to see what you’re watching in high definition but it’s also important to choose the correct size screen to reduce squinting.
To determine the size of your TV screen, you need to measure diagonally from corner to corner. For a standard 55-inch TV, we would suggest sitting between 10-12 feet away, or for setting up an impressive 65-inch screen, we’d recommend up to 14 feet distance.
