TVs: Televisions & HDTVs - Best Buy (original) (raw)

Shopping for a new TV

A TV is one of the most visible and frequently used pieces of electronics in your home, and Best Buy is the place to look for the latest and greatest TVs on sale. Whether you're in the market for an HDTV, a curved-screen TV, or a 4K Ultra HD TV, you'll find amazing TVs right here. And with TV sales happening all the time, it's good to check back often to catch the very best prices.

TV styles and features

So, you've found a TV for sale, and the price is right. How do you know if that TV's particular mix of features and specifications is right for you?

First, look at the display type. LED TVs perform particularly well even in brightly lit rooms, thanks to their advanced backlighting. OLED TVs offer some of the best picture quality available, featuring very high contrast, minimal blurring, near-perfect color precision, and wide viewing angles. Another important feature of OLED TVs is that the technology used to make their screens enables them to be extremely thin.

TV screen size considerations

Another thing to consider is the size of your TV's screen. Bigger may seem like it's always better, but it's essential to balance the television to the size of the room — otherwise you may find yourself sitting too close for comfort. The basic guidelines are that 60"–90" TVs are great for media rooms and home theaters, 50"–64" TVs are good for larger rooms like big living rooms, 33"–49" TVs work best in medium-sized living rooms and larger bedrooms, and 32" or smaller TVs feel right in most bedrooms, kitchens or small apartments and dorms.

The latest TV technology

Some 4K Ultra HD TVs feature the latest HDR technology for better images than ever before. HDR technology, also called High Dynamic Range, delivers a wider color gamut than standard 4K TVs, an enhanced contrast, and an exceptional, lifelike picture quality.
