Now that summer is coming and the holidays for many, the sale of televisions is increasing, surely because we are all more idle and perhaps the good weather influences our predisposition to spend money. We also have sporting events of all kinds and almost all of us like to be able to see it on a television the bigger the better and above all that offers a great image quality.

Currently, Smart TVs are sweeping sales, thanks mainly to the options and functionalities they offer us. The problem is that in many cases they are unknown devices for the general public. That is why today we have decided to create this article, in which we are going to give you a hand to buy your next television, giving you 6 tips to buy a Smart TV without failing in the attempt.

If you are going to buy a Smart TV or you are passionate about this type of device, take note of everything that you are going to read because we are convinced that it will be of great help to you.

What is a Smart TV?

The first advice that we can give you is rather an explanation and that is that as we mentioned before, many users are totally or at least partially unaware of what a Smart TV. This type of television, because deep down it is still a television, It is a device that also allows us to connect to the network of networks with what this implies.

Their uses are very different and varied. In my case, for example, I have the Smart TV connected to the Internet to be able to enjoy Netflix above all, to be able to watch football through a subscription through a mobile phone operator and to browse the network of networks, consulting my social media or email. In addition to a good Internet connection, you will need a small keyboard with a built-in mouse with which to handle your new Smart TV without any problem.

If you don't like series or are not subscribed to Netflix or other services of this type, If not, you are not going to browse the network of networks and in short it does not matter whether or not to connect your television to the Internet, do not spend a single euro more on a Smart TV because you are not going to get any advantage.

The resolution of the Smart TV, a key point

Currently on the market there are Smart TVs with 3 different resolutions. In the first place we find HD televisions (720 pixels), Full HD (1.080 pixels) and 4K (4.000 pixels). A priori, the best choice may seem like a Smart TV with a 4K resolution, but obviously its price is higher, and at the moment there is not much content in this resolution.

So that you can get an idea, most television channels broadcast in HD and only some series that we can enjoy on Netflix or some YouTube videos are in 4K resolution.

If you have excess money or it is not a concern for you, without a doubt your next Smart TV must have 4K resolution, which at the moment you will not be able to take advantage of, but which will undoubtedly be the future. If you want to spend as little as possible, with a television with resolution Full HD you will be able to dress up and enjoy yourself greatly for years to come.

Size does matter

As they say, size is important, and more so in Smart TVs, but without going overboard. Buying a bigger or smaller television depends a bit on your tastes, but above all on where you are going to place it and how close or far you are going to see it.

If you are going to place it in your living room and you have the sofa placed a couple of meters away, it makes little sense to buy a 55-inch television because watching it is going to be a real torture.

To give you an idea we offer you this relationship between distance and size, so you can choose the perfect size for your Smart TV;

• If you are going to see it between 1 and 1.5 meters; 26 inches or less
• If you are going to see it at between 1.5 and 2 meters; between 26 and 36 inches
• If you are going to see it at between 2 and 3 meters; between 39 and 50 inches
• If you are going to see it between 3 and 4 meters; from 50 inches you can buy any television

The number of hertz, something to take into account

Most users are guided when buying a television or a Smart TV in the number of inches and in some cases in its resolution. It is quite important to also look at the number of hertz that it offers us. And it is that this figure will make the images that pass quickly in front of our eyes (for example, those of sporting events), do so in the smoothest possible way. Obviously this explanation is not too technical, but in this way everyone can understand and understand it.

Understanding this, the logical thing would be to buy a Smart TV with the highest number of hertz possible, but this is where the problem comes, and that is that each manufacturer has invented their own hertz, so it is impossible to compare two televisions of different brands based on this parameter. . Of course, if it will help us to opt for one or another device of the same brand.

3D, do not bite, it will do you very little

A few months ago and even the occasional year 3D televisions They were a great revolution, for everything they promised to offer the user. Unfortunately, all that has been left behind and currently there are very few options, truly interesting that they can offer us.

Obviously, Smart TVs and 3D televisions are still being sold, but our recommendation is that you do not bite and is that the 3D content is very small and you can only enjoy them every long time. Instead, incorporate this option to your device if it will be more expensive.

Sound

Finally, we cannot stop talking, even briefly, about the sound of your next Smart TV. This it is a characteristic that cannot obsess you at any time And it is that in most televisions that we can find in the market at a reasonable price, the sound is bad. It is true that some offer something better than others, but it is not usually too important or relevant. As in almost all cases, as we spend more money, the quality of almost everything and the sound included is usually better, but in most cases, at least in this aspect, it is not worth increasing the budget.

And is that if what you want is to enjoy good sound on your Smart TV, the best recommendation we can make is that you acquire, separately from the television, some 5.1 home cinema speakers or a sound bar. With either of the two you will have good sound and you can truly enjoy movies, series or anything you want to see on your new television. In addition, the price of this type of accessories is usually quite low and that this will not trigger the budget for the purchase of our brand new TV.

The best advice; buy without haste and valuing all the details

After all the advice we have given you, perhaps the best of all is the one that everyone repeats over and over again, and which is applicable for almost all the purchases we make and more in cases where the price of the product to buy is high. Shopping without haste and evaluating all the details is essential when buying and approaching with the purchase of a Smart TV.

However, this is not usually positive at all and is that to buy a Smart TV we must take it easy, analyze the different models that are offered to us in the market and above all be aware of possible offers or promotions.
