What to look for in budget TVs

1. Resolution

Even on a budget, aim for a TV with at least Full HD (1080p) resolution. If you can stretch your budget a little more, 4K resolution offers even clearer, more detailed pictures.

2. Smart Features

Many budget TVs now come with smart features like built-in streaming apps and voice control. Consider which of these features are important to you.

3. Screen Size

While larger TVs tend to be more expensive, there are still plenty of affordable options in the 32-50 inch range. Consider the size of your room and how far you'll be sitting from the TV.

4. Refresh Rate

The refresh rate determines how smooth motion appears on the screen. A higher refresh rate is especially important if you plan to use your TV for gaming or watching sports.
