Things to Consider Before Buying a New Television

Before you invest thousands of dollars in TVs and remotes, you need to understand what you are paying for. You will pay for the name brand, of course, and you will also pay for the technology. Technology is great, but if you really don’t need certain features, there is no reason to pay for them.

There are lots of reasons why you should buy a TV that costs less than others. If you are only looking for something to watch your shows on, then there is no need to pay for fancy features. For instance, 3D televisions sound good, but since there isn’t a lot of 3D content available, is it really a feature you cannot live without?

If you are a gamer and need lots of HDMI ports, you may think you need a TV that offers four or five ports. However, you can instead buy a cheaper TV and purchase an HDMI switch to ensure that you have plenty of ports for your devices.

Yes, there is some amazing technology out there right now — 4K, 3D, etc. But when you really think about it, do you have to have it all? Take streaming — you can spend a lot of money on a TV with a Smart suite that includes streaming apps. Or, you can spend less on a TV, and buy a plug-in device, such as a Roku. Then you will have all the streaming capabilities you need, and you will have saved hundreds of dollars.

As a movie buff, you want only one thing — to be able to watch your favorite movies from the comfort of home, but with the feel of a theater. That is where a big-screen TV and corresponding TV remote come into play. With the right big-screen TV, you can have the best of both your home world and the theater world. So, which TV is big enough? A 65-inch is usually a safe bet for home theater viewing, such as the Sony KD-65X9005B. For around $2,700, you can enjoy a fantastic display from a trusted manufacturer.

This TV has a unique wedge design that allows it to fit in with most any décor. It features 4 HDMI ports and 3 USB ports, as well as built-in Wi-Fi. The display and audio are, by far, the best features of this monster television. The picture is clear and crisp, with sharp blacks and colors. The audio is some of the best audio for this particular class of TV. Of course, hooked up to your surround sound, you will be set for at-home movies!

There are minimal flaws to Sony’s television, including that unique design. The wedge isn’t the problem, it is the sheer mammoth size of the TV that could make it hard for you to fit it inside your home. However, if you have the room, this is definitely a sound investment. One other drawback is its Active Shutter 3D. Unfortunately, this feature can demonstrate some flickering, which detracts from your viewing pleasure.

Overall, if you want the theater experience at home, and you aren’t really concerned with 3D, then this is the TV for you. Contact us today at Replacement Remotes to learn more about this television, as well as others.

Reasons to Buy a Smaller Television

If you are thinking about buying a new TV, you need to think about more than just the size of the screen and the features of the TV remote. Sure, a huge TV is a great way to view movies and your favorite shows, but big TVs also come with a higher price tag. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Here are some reasons why you might want to think about buying a smaller, more affordable television:

  • If the TV you are looking for is going to be for your kids, then definitely invest in something smaller. There is no reason why your children need a 55-inch TV to watch cartoons. Instead, find a quality, affordable, and smaller TV that will get the job done.
  • If your college student needs a TV, then smaller is the way to go. Dorm rooms are not known for their expansive space, so investing in something small is going to give your child plenty of room for other things — like textbooks.
  • If you are looking for a second TV for your home, then think about downsizing. Keep the biggest TV in the main living area where you, your family, and your friends can enjoy it. For your personal bedroom or the kitchen, smaller is just fine.

If the only thing holding you back from buying a smaller TV is fear of quality, remember that many smaller TVs provide just as good of a picture as larger TVs. Today’s technology makes it possible to give even the smallest screen the prettiest display.

Don’t worry too much about quality when shopping for a smaller TV, and for all of your remote needs, contact us here at Replacement Remotes.
