7 tips to pick the best 4K TV based on display, sound, features and more
Before buying a 4K TV, consider key factors like display type, screen size, refresh rate, sound, smart features, ports, and HDR support to make the right choice for your home.
A 4K TV can completely transform your home entertainment setup. The visuals appear sharper, colours look more lifelike, and even the smaller details stand out beautifully. Technology keeps evolving, and there are now countless models offering different features, picture quality, and smart functions. A bigger screen might seem tempting, but the best TV for you depends on much more than size. Things like display type, refresh rate, HDR support, and port options can make a big difference. To help you make a smart and confident choice, here are seven simple things to check before you bring that brand-new 4K TV home.
1. Display type
There are different types of 4K TV displays. LED is the most common and budget-friendly. QLED gives brighter colours, and OLED offers deeper blacks and better contrast. If you watch movies in dark rooms, OLED may give you the best experience.

2. Screen size
Pick a screen size based on your room. If your room is small, a 43-inch TV is enough. For larger spaces, 50 or 55 inches will be better. Also, sit at a distance where you can see the screen comfortably.
3. Refresh rate
This tells you how smooth the motion on the screen will be. A 60Hz refresh rate is fine for normal use. But if you like sports or gaming, go for a higher refresh rate like 120Hz for smoother viewing.
4. Sound quality
Many slim TVs do not have powerful speakers. Check if the TV has good sound output. If not, think about getting a soundbar to enjoy better audio while watching movies or shows.
5. Smart features
Most 4K TVs come with smart features. Make sure the TV supports your favourite apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video. The user interface should be simple and easy to navigate.
6. Ports and connections
Look for at least three HDMI ports. You will need them for connecting set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. USB ports are useful too if you want to play videos from a pen drive.
7. HDR support
HDR improves picture quality by making colours brighter and shadows deeper. Try to pick a TV that supports formats like HDR10 or Dolby Vision for a better viewing experience.
