Buying a new television set is actually a pretty big deal in most Australian households and it is the one purchase that the kids want to be involved in as well. Watching our favourite TV shows and movies is part of the Australian fabric that holds us all together. It is the one thing that is always there for us and even if we are alone, it provides us with a much-needed friend. It would be highly unusual not to see any kind of television set in every home across this great country of ours. The average Australian family spends countless hours watching television every week and so it’s important that you choose your new television set wisely.

It is the one time when your teenagers will want to be involved because modern technology allows us to do so much more with our TV than just watching movies. There are actually many different kinds of televisions to choose from in many different sizes and so rather than making the choice easier, it has become a lot more difficult. If you are currently in the market for a new TV then the following are just some top tips that will help you to choose wisely.

1. Figure out your price range – Obviously, the more money that you spend then the bigger and better television that you can get many of us don’t have this much cash to splash around. You need to set a budget for yourself and then stick to it and don’t be drawn in by the skills of the salesman to spend more money. You could of course take your television out on finance and there are many excellent deals currently available with some even offering 0% interest.
2. What size do you want – This is always something that causes arguments in any household because clearly, your teenagers will want the biggest TV set possible when you want something that will fit on the space on the wall. Everybody wants to have the cinema experience and that is understandable and the one thing to take away from this is that make sure that you don’t go too small rather than too big.
3. Is it to be LED or OLED – This really does depend on what you want to use a television set for but it’s likely that your kids will want you to go for a smart television and so they will want to surf the Internet and possibly play games on it as well. The ultimate decision lies with you as the parent but remember that this is the set that is probably going to be mounted on your wall for the next 10 years and so choose wisely.

These top tips will help you to make the right decision when it comes to the next TV set that arrives in your living room or kitchen. Take everyone’s opinions into consideration and buy a television that is for everyone.
