Installing a new flat-screen TV gives you the perfect way to end the day or a great reason to host some friends for the next big game. A television is an important purchase that you will use often, so you want to be sure that you buy the right one. As you start your shopping at Aka’s TV & Electronics in Kahului, HI, make sure you find the perfect model with the tips below.

Do

Consider screen size.

Screen size is about finding the perfect sweet spot, as you don’t want a television that’s too large or too small. Measure the space that your television will be placed so you know your limitations. Determine how far back from the television you usually sit; stand that distance from the TV in the store to see how it feels. Keep in mind that screen sizes go bottom to top corner. 

Invest in high resolution.

The most common resolution options you’ll see are HD 720p, HD 1080p, and Ultra HD 4K. These describe how many lines of resolution the television has, and the fewer lines, the more pixelated the image will be. 4K flat-screen TVs will be your most expensive option, but if you don’t want to fall behind in technology within a few years, it’s a good investment. The 1080p can be a good choice if you’re looking for a budget option.

Don’t

Forget the warranty.

As you select your television, ask the salesperson about the warranty that comes with it. Many brand-new televisions come with a limited warranty, and you have the option to extend it for a fee. It’s up to you whether you want to extend the warranty—it’s recommended if you’re spending a lot on the electronics—but you should always know the terms.

Compromise on sound.

Even the nicest televisions could have poor sound quality. You should still focus on getting great graphics. You can then buy a sound bar or surround sound speakers separately to give you the best of both worlds.
