Buying a new TV is an important decision. What aspects should be paid attention to? What technologies provide excellent viewing quality? What functions does the operating system have? Together with KIVI, the European brand known for its Smart TVs, we present a shopping guide to help you make the perfect choice.

So, when you choose a new TV, remember this list of questions, and you will definitely be completely satisfied with the choice made.

1. What will be the place for the new screen?

The correct location of the TV is crucial, as its location determines the required characteristics. For example, in the kitchen, sound quality and voice control can be vital. On the other hand, in a baby’s room, access control settings and the strength of the stand are important. The next dilemma is related to the mounting method: on the wall, in the corner of the room or on a piece of furniture? The answer will help you determine if you need additional accessories or stands, and will also indicate the appropriate screen size.

The next question is how to place it: on the wall, in the corner of the room or on a flat surface? The answer will help you decide whether you need additional brackets or stands, and will also affect the correct size of your TV.

It is often said that the ideal TV screen size should be half the distance between the viewer and the screen. If you want to place a TV in the living room, measure the distance from the sofa to the chosen location and divide it by two to get an idea of ​​the appropriate screen size.

The most popular screen sizes for Smart KIVI TVs are 32”, 40” and 43”.

Of course, the easiest way is to place the TV on a piece of furniture, for example, on a table or a cabinet. But if you don’t have the space, most modern TVs can be mounted on the wall using special brackets. If the TV will be viewed from several angles in the room, it is advisable to choose a swivel stand.

Finally, we recommend placing the TV near an electrical outlet to avoid complications. Also, make sure that the chosen location is not exposed to direct sunlight to avoid annoying glare on the screen.

2. Features of the TV screen – what to pay attention to?

Your choice of screen features depends largely on the type of content you want to view. An HD or Full HD screen is sufficient for simple viewing of TV programs. But if you want to enjoy movies with rich dynamics and impressive detail, choose a 4K (or Ultra HD) TV, which offers a more realistic image thanks to a high pixel density.

Modern TVs, like those from KIVI, are equipped with innovative software technologies:

Super contrast control – adjusts the contrast in certain areas of the image, giving depth to dark areas.

Max Bright – increases the brightness depending on the content, providing an optimal image.

MEM – ensures smooth movement in fast scenes.

For gaming enthusiasts, KIVI TVs offer a gaming mode that maximizes CPU performance while gaming. As HDR technology is on the rise, KIVI suggests choosing an HDR-enabled TV for realistic colors and details.

3. Operating system – which is the most suitable?

Three operating systems are commonly found: Android TV, Tizen OS and WebOS. However, Android TV takes the top spot because of the sheer number of apps. The latest version, Android TV 11, has more than 10 thousand applications, the KIVI line is based on this system.

4. What do we need to know about hardware?

When investing in a TV for the next few years, it is recommended to choose the latest models with high-quality processors. KIVI, for example, uses a chipset with 30% higher performance than the market average. Also check the number of ports to be able to connect different external devices.

Sound quality – Depending on the size of the room, built-in speakers may be sufficient or, for larger spaces, an external audio system may be required.

So, choosing the right TV requires careful analysis of your needs and preferences. KIVI TVs offer a wide selection of options and technologies that can satisfy the most diverse requirements.

5. What options offer additional benefits?

It’s convenient for your Smart TV to include as many localized programs as possible right from the start. This is possible if the manufacturer is an official partner of such giants as Google, Netflix, etc. Official (not pirated) programs, like the official OS, work properly, do not crash and are regularly updated.

Basically, choosing a TV is simple: you need to know where you will install it and how you will use it – just for watching TV programs or as a complete entertainment device with games, learning, dancing and music. Depending on the purpose of the gadget, choose certain capabilities and functions.
