How to Buy a Smart TV for Your Home Theater Installation

It may soon be the default choice for all new televisions if is not already but if you are considering replacing or upgrading the television in your home theater, it may be time to think about adding a Home Theater. It is the name given to those sets with the ability to access the Internet. With Smart TV, you are able to download or use some of the embedded apps that allow browsing some areas of the web or get immediate news or information such as traffic or the weather shown directly on your TV screens. You may even be able to do some limited shopping by using your remote control unit.

However, there is a virtual plethora of choices, features and options that the task of choosing a Smart TV is often overwhelming. You can rely on the guidance of the salespeople, but it is important to remember that the objective of sales personnel is primarily to sell, and they may not always have your interest at heart. The caveat “buyers beware” still applies in all sales transaction.

The first place to start when considering the purchase of a Smart TV is to ask yourself how you may make use of the benefits of adding a smart TV. If you enjoy streaming videos, the smart TV may be the appropriate choice and your TV installer will not only help with the decision, but will be available to ensure that it properly installed. Alternatively, if you are not quite ready for a Smart TV, there are still a few options that allow you to stream content from the web.

Most of the specifications that are published with television sets, cannot be easily be relied on to tell which sets are better, but they can be used to differentiate the technology used in the manufacture. The ultimate test of picture quality is still determined by viewing, but it is important to remember that picture quality is also affected by condition or the environment in which your TV or home theater installation operates.

After ignoring all of the technical details, the next most important feature is the screen size. It is important because manufacturers all refer to the models of television by the screen size. The preference is to buy the set with the biggest screen, but at the same time it is also critical to remember where and how the set will be installed. On average, at least a 32 inch is recommended for a bedroom, while a living room set should be at least 50 inches when measured diagonally. It is also very important to consider the size of the room and use the rule of thumb, that recommends a viewing distance that is a least 1.6 times the screen size.

Consider the type of Internet connection in your building. If you are one of the unfortunate, without access to high-speed, it may be better to defer the purchase of a smart TV. With broadband you will need to be aware of the data that is being transferred as streaming involves data transfer. You can consider yourself as being fortunate, with an unlimited data plan.

After examining all of the available feature and how you may use them to your benefits, you may be excited about your purchase, but at this point the recommendation is to consult professional TV installers who are ready to help you get even more value from your set.
