Cyber Monday and the Black Friday deals are just around the corner, so get ready for the sales of the year and get to shopping. Well, this sale season if you are looking to buy a TV, let me tell you a lot has changed when it comes to TV the latest being 8K. This article tells you everything you need to know before the sales go live.
Go For Good Bundle Deals
Whenever you shop for something, look for other deals along with it where you can save money on all of the things overall. For example, if you have bought your TV you can save more money by getting one of Xfinity TV plans.
Xfinity TV comes with several packages, and if you get it in a bundle package along with the internet, you get free installation, so you save on the TV because of Cyber Monday as well as the internet and TV service because of the bundle deal. So, you get a new TV along with unlimited data and 125+ channels to watch and play video games without caring about limited internet. What else could one ask for.
Know Your Product
If you already have a TV, go for an upgrade. Get a better model and better specifications, never buy anything less than a 4K resolution, and if you already have a 4K resolution TV, go for the latest 8K resolution TV on a bigger screen. Because the bigger the better, that too in 8K. Who needs to go to the cinema then?
Also, make sure to research your product before buying it. It is important to fully know your product so that when you are in for the shopping, you know exactly what you want. And now is the time to start researching if you haven’t already.
Look For Good Packages That Have Value for Money
Never go for the biggest discounts, look for good packages that have value for money. For example, even if your 8K TV isn’t on a very big discount, it might come with something valuable for free as a bundle. For example, if you are getting a TV and a soundbar in a deal, never let it go because no matter how good your TV is, the sound quality will never be up to the mark.
So if you are buying a TV, a soundbar is a must. So, don’t expect to get something at a throwaway price look for what you’ll get in a good deal and look for the value.
Look For What Is Not Commonly Available but Is Now
Don’t go for your common products when buying from a sale like this. This sale only comes once a year so treat it like that and buy something that won’t have a sale the rest of the year. People often end up buying commonly available things that have a discount on them. Well, make a wish list of things that are not usually available at a discount all year, but will be now.
Keep a Lookout
Pick out a few TVs that you are interested in, and keep an eye on them over the sale period and get your hands on what you want as soon as the sale goes live because TVs are mostly the highest sold product and go short right after the sale starts. So be prepared. The best retailers are Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Walmart is offering flash deals on larger budget TVs.
Pay Attention to the Specifications:
Manufacturers often save costs by minimizing the ports at the back, but these are important to have because they get utilized by things like a soundbar, a Roku, or Chromecast and a game console, etc. Make sure your TV has more than 4 HDMI ports and is at least HDMI 2.1 especially if you are a gamer.
For gamers it is not only the resolution and sound there are plenty of other things to look at, so research well and go for a TV that has a built-in that supports gaming. Similarly, if you plan to get an ultra HD, make sure your port supports HDMI 2.0 to accommodate future ultra HD sources. Also, opt for newer ports.
Apart from great picture, sound, connectivity options, and overall responsiveness of the TV, research about TV backlights too. TVs have advanced a lot so it is essential to research a lot about the specifications if you are planning to buy one now. So, now is when you start your research because a lot has changed.
Last but not the least, never go for an extended warranty and instead go for a price protection policy on your credit card, buy your TV and enjoy streaming your favorite shows, or play your favorite video game on your new big screen.
