Transform Your Space with the Ideal TV | Crye-Leike Executive Realty

Many of us will be spending more time indoors these next few months, so it's worth springing for a few comfortable upgrades to help you get through the winter. A wall-mounted large-screen TV can provide ample entertainment and serve as a nice focal point in your living room. Our real estate agents will be shopping around for good TV deals this holiday season, so we've drafted a quick buyer's guide to help you find the right fit for your home.

  • Choose The Right Size 
    The right size TV ultimately depends on your preferences and your space. While TVs come in many different sizes, the most popular models are between 50 and 75 inches. Make sure to consider the size of the room when choosing a size. A massive TV in a small space could throw the room off balance, and watching a huge screen in a narrow space can be uncomfortable. Also, consider your viewing distance—the closer you are to the TV screen, the smaller the screen size should be. If you plan to wall-mount it, choose one that can be nicely centered on the wall.

  • Understand QLED vs OLED
    QLED and OLED are popular TV technologies that have evolved beyond the basic LED concept. QLED TVs use an LED backlight, but they contain quantum dots. When exposed to light, these dots project their own light, which produces a colorful, sharp picture. OLED doesn't use an LED backlight; rather, the sub-pixels themselves emit the picture. OLED generally has a reputation for producing better picture quality than QLED TVs. They also have better contrast and black levels; however, QLED TVs tend to be a bit brighter and have a cheaper price tag.

  • Pick Your Ideal Resolution
    Your TV's resolution describes the number of pixels that project the image on the screen. The more pixels, the more details you'll notice in the image itself. Resolution isn't the most important factor when choosing a TV, but it does make a difference. If you're buying a TV larger than 32 inches and want a great picture, choose a TV with 4K resolution (4,096 pixels) or higher. While there are 8K TVs on the market, they're fairly expensive, and you probably don't need to go that high.

  • HDR-Compatibility Is Worth It
    HDR-compatible TVs produce deeper and more vivid tones—especially reds, greens, and blues. They also allow you to see more detail in shadowy pictures. This technology can display images from a wider range of colors and brightness levels, and it's definitely worth it.

  • Consider Your Platform
    Most TVs are packed with streaming features these days, but each manufacturer has a different platform. For example, Fire TVs use the Amazon Fire setup, while Samsung uses Tizen. While most offer similar functionality, it's worth taking some time to explore the interfaces to see what you find easiest to navigate.

A nice new TV is an exciting purchase and can add an extra touch of comfort to your living room area. Contact us today for more tips on how to make the most out of your home.
