Television is kind of part of our life and it is something that we all have in our houses. It's not a luxury anymore I believe instead it's more of a necessity that everyone likes to have at home as we do have other electronic appliances including the refrigerator and many more. Technology has evolved a lot in the last few years and now whenever I see some people upgrading their television they mostly do it to the Smart TV because it is the common technology available across the world. The TV I have as of now is seven years old but it is creating a problem with its picture quality and its time for an upgrade which I am planning to do soon.
The TV I have was purchased in 2015 and since then I have been using it with no problem at all. It's not a smart TV but it worked without any issues however now the trend is common for the smart TV and people often prefer to upgrade to the same. I believe I should also follow the trend because it is always a better idea to upgrade with the latest technology. Buying a traditional TV now is not a good idea it seems because that is an absolute technology and even the display quality has been upgraded a lot in the last few years. Now the quality is like 4K or OLED kind of screens are available in the market and I am planning to visit some stores this weekend to explore what are the available options. Probably this weekend can be a good idea to explore some models and see whether I should buy it offline or online depending upon what offers I get.
This is festival season in India and sales are ongoing on online websites and offline stores. Websites like Amazon and Flipkart are offering a discount on almost everything but it is a big electronic product so I prefer to check the prices in the offline market as well before buying and it will give me a better idea to decide whether I should go online or offline. Some very well-known brands are Samsung LG Sony and Panasonic etc and I have gone through some of the models available on online websites. The problem is that I do not have any idea about its pricing and what should be the latest technology so visiting the store can be helpful to have a physical demo of different models and see what are the pricing range available in the market. Maybe the pricing can be better online but you never know because sometimes even offline is stored and offers better pricing and they are also offering many discounts this season because of the festival time.
TV is something that people buy for the long term and even I do. I easily expect that I should be able to use the next TV for at least five to ten years whereas the last one I have used for eight years which I think is a good amount of time. It is a better idea to buy something which is built on the latest technology so that in the next few years I do not feel like it is obsolete and does not offer whatever is available in the market now but if I go with the latest technology then at least for next few years I should not feel like this. The screen size is another confusion that I have not yet decided so I'm still not sure whether I should go for 43 inches or 55-inch screen size.
I have gone through some of the articles and videos on the Internet and got to know that there are multiple factors that should be considered while buying a TV and some of them are listed below
- Screen Size
- OS- Fire TV, Android or Google TV etc
- Screen resolution (Full HD or 4k etc)
- Sounds options
These are some of the reasons why I'm still not sure what options I should continue with and this is quite confusing for me so I hope that after visiting the store I should be able to have a better understanding since they will allow me to show some models. These days we have multiple options for everything and this is why choosing one is quite confusing I remember that when I purchased the phone that I also there were so many models and finally I made a choice to buy the one which is good for me based on my usage. Now I find a similar kind of confusion here also and this is the reason why I prefer to visit the store first and see how I can decide which is a good option for me.
Thank you
