As someone who has witnessed the evolution from black-and-white to color, CRT to tablets, and the shift from low-resolution to high-definition displays—going from 480p to 720p, 1080p, and now 4K—it's fascinating to see how far we've come. At home, I personally use a 43-inch 1080p LCD TV with a relatively standard color gamut. The reasoning is straightforward: after using various models enough times, you realize that the best choice isn’t always the most expensive one.
In today’s crowded market of TVs, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. You might feel like you’re overpaying when purchasing a flagship model from a brand, but then regret spending less on a budget option. This constant state of uncertainty can be frustrating. And let’s not forget the salespeople who often prioritize profit over your satisfaction, pushing unnecessary upgrades or features. Watching TV itself is simple, but buying one can feel like a science project. So, here are some key points to consider when choosing a TV.
Price is important but not the sole indicator of quality. Generally speaking, flagship models from the same brand tend to cost more than their mid-range counterparts. In the current market, 55-inch 4K resolution TVs dominate living rooms. Domestic flagships typically range from $800 to $1,300, while imported brands can go up to $2,500 or more. Mid-range and budget options vary depending on materials and screen quality. Thus, it’s crucial not to generalize. TV prices depend on size, materials, hardware specs, screen quality, and even the year of release. The mantra should be "buy what fits your needs, not just the most expensive."
Brand-wise, sticking with reputable brands simplifies decision-making. For imported options, consider Sony, Samsung, LG, Philips, and Panasonic. Domestically, TCL, Skyworth, Hisense, Changhong, and Konka are solid choices. Internet TV brands like Thunderbird, Xiaomi, LeEco, Coolpad, and KKKTV have surged in popularity recently. Competition has intensified in the TV industry, with domestic brands now leading the charge. However, remember that within any given brand, there are both high-end and low-end offerings. When choosing within the same brand, the rule of thumb is: domestic low-end > imported low-end, imported high-end > domestic high-end.
Size matters too. Bigger isn’t always better; finding the right fit is key. Sitting too close can cause eye strain, and larger screens naturally cost more. For bedrooms, 40- or 43-inch models work well, while living rooms benefit from sizes starting at 50 inches. Viewing distance plays a role here:

Screen Types (LCD/OLED)
When evaluating screens, consider resolution first. While 4K is mainstream, smaller screens under 43 inches don’t fully benefit from it. For such cases, 1080p offers better value. Next, look at panel types. IPS panels offer sharp visuals, stable motion, and wide viewing angles but may skew cooler tones. Soft screens reproduce colors more accurately with warmer tones. Both have pros and cons. OLED TVs, though pricey, deliver stunning blacks and vibrant colors without relying on backlighting. Quantum Dot TVs, increasingly popular, use nanocrystals instead of traditional LEDs, offering wider color gamuts and improved accuracy.

Quality Enhancement Technologies (Color Gamut/HDR/MEMC)
Key features include color gamut, HDR, and MEMC. Color gamut determines richness, HDR boosts contrast, and MEMC smooths fast-moving scenes. Mainstream LED TVs hit around 96% NTSC, OLED reaches 100%, and QLED exceeds 110%. HDR standards like Dolby Vision and HDR10 enhance details by widening brightness gaps. MEMC inserts frames into videos, doubling refresh rates to 100/120Hz, making sports and action smoother.

Smart vs. Non-Smart TVs
From basic sets to internet-connected TVs and now smart TVs, technology keeps evolving. Early internet TVs ran on Linux, limiting app flexibility. Smart TVs run on Android, allowing APK installations and full customization. Since 2011, smart TVs have dominated. However, traditional TVs persist, especially in niche markets. Essentially, a smart TV is a regular TV with added intelligence. Adding a set-top box achieves similar results but at a lower cost.
