How difficult it has become for a modern person to live with the emergence and implementation of more and more new technologies designed to simplify his own life. Even 50 years ago, the choice of a TV set for the average consumer was limited to a color and black-and-white model, which cannot be said about the modern assortment. An unprepared buyer has a lot of questions about a set of functions, quality, parameters, etc., which, as a result, can postpone the purchase of equipment for a week or two.

Step 1
Today, most consumers choose LCD TVs to enjoy high quality, detailed pictures. Stop your choice on LCD models and you.
Step 2
One of the important characteristics with which you should start choosing any TV is its diagonal, which is measured in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). In this case, take into account the dimensions of the room, wall or cabinet where it will be located. The larger the room, the larger the diagonal, and, accordingly, vice versa. For the kitchen, for example, choose a TV with a diagonal of no more than 19 inches, and for the living room you can choose 40 or more.
Step 3
Pay attention to the screen resolution depending on the diagonal. Do not choose FullHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) for small models, because on such a TV, the human eye will not notice the difference between 1024x768 and 1920x1080 pixels. On the other hand, a model with a large diagonal requires a high resolution, especially when watching Blu-Ray discs or high quality video.
Step 4
To enjoy watching your favorite TV channels anytime, anywhere, check your viewing angle. It shows the likely percentage of image distortion from the center of the screen. The optimal value of this indicator is 175-178 degrees.
Step 5
The sharpness of the image is affected by contrast, which shows the brightness of one area of the image in relation to others. Look at this parameter in the TV passport, where the value of this characteristic is spelled out in the form of 800: 1, which indicates that the dark areas of the image on the screen have a contrast with respect to the light areas by 800 times. The higher the ratio, the better the image. If we talk about brightness, 450 cd / m2 is sufficient.
Step 6
When checking the picture quality, keep in mind that one model's picture in a store may look brighter than another TV's due to the factory settings. That is, it does not necessarily mean that one TV is better than the other. Ask a sales assistant to change the settings to see if the TV is actually capable of.
Step 7
Pay no less attention to the sound parameters. When buying a TV, test its speakers to test them for sound distortion. Naturally, they should not rattle at maximum volume.
Step 8
Most modern models are equipped with Surround speakers that create a surround sound effect. As a result, you get the impression that you are not at home, but at a free screening at the cinema. This effect is especially useful for a large room.
Step 9
Watching standard channels can get boring quickly. Be sure to check, or rather check with the sales consultant, the possibility of connecting to a camcorder, Blu-ray player, game console. You may even need an input for an old VHS tape recorder. Also, it will not be superfluous to have a USB input for a flash drive.
Step 10
If you have a router at home that distributes wi-fi, take a look at smart TVs, which, in addition to all the above functions, have the ability to access the Internet in order to view video pages, listen to audio files.
