Are you still thinking of upgrading your TV at home? Well, this is the sign you’re looking for! We’re Teko.ph, the largest aircon, appliance, and computer services provider in the Philippines, with signs that will tell you it’s time to buy a flat screen TV, plus some buying tips.

When’s the Best Time to Buy A New Flat Screen TV?

Once you see these signs, it’s time to browse for new TV models:

  • You notice dead pixels or screen burn-in
  • It shows slow response times
  • The colors look washed out or unnatural
  • There are vertical or horizontal lines
  • Your TV doesn’t support the latest streaming apps

Aside from these, you may consider the following factors:

  • Age of Your Current TV: If your TV is more than 7-10 years old, it might be starting to show its age. For sure, newer models offer improvements in picture quality, energy efficiency, and smart features.
  • Size and Viewing Distance: Did you recently move to a bigger space? Did you renovate or redesign your living room? Consider the area and your typical viewing distance. A larger TV might be ideal for a spacious living room, while a smaller TV is enough for a smaller space.
  • Smart Features: Many modern TVs come with smart features like built-in streaming apps and even voice control.
