Binge-watching your favourite series on a lazy Sunday without getting out of bed? Or falling asleep while the film credits are still rolling? No problem at all if you install a TV in your bedroom. But what exactly should you look out for when choosing a new bedroom TV? We’ve listed 5 key questions you should ask yourself before you buy.
When choosing a new TV for your bedroom, it’s best to think carefully about where you want to hang or place the set first. That way you can determine the viewing distance – the distance between where you sit and the TV – and estimate whether you should be looking for a small, medium or large TV. If you’d like to save space, you can also mount your television on the wall or the ceiling. You’ll need a ceiling or wall bracket to secure the TV.
The TV size you should choose for your bedroom depends on several factors. First and foremost, look at the size of your bedroom. It’s usually a bit smaller than your living room, which means a small or medium-sized TV is often a great choice. These TV sizes work well when the viewing distance is fairly short. Especially if the TV is positioned right at the foot of your bed, a small television will do. Do you have a spacious bedroom and is your TV further away from the bed? Then we recommend choosing a large television, so you can enjoy the best possible picture quality.
If you like watching Netflix, Amazon Prime, Streamz and other streaming services, a smart TV is a great device to have in your bedroom. With a smart TV you can also play your favourite Spotify playlists and access lots of apps, games and websites. And all of that from your comfy bed! Just make sure you have a stable internet connection in the bedroom, so you can watch TV without having to get out of bed every five minutes.
Gaming while stretched out in bed? That’s possible too if you have a TV in your bedroom. The best gaming TVs typically have a high refresh rate, low input lag and a 4K screen resolution with HDR support. These specifications ensure high-quality visuals and smooth graphics, so you can fully immerse yourself in your favourite games. Also make sure the bedroom TV has an HDMI port, so you can easily connect your games console to the set.
Are you planning to place your TV at the foot of your bed or on the chest of drawers in front of it? Or perhaps you’d find it handy to mount your TV on the wall so it’s always at the ideal viewing height? Depending on your choice, go for a television with a wall bracket or an adjustable ceiling bracket. And then the real work starts: connecting your TV – with or without a cable – and installing it. You can do it yourself, but feel free to ask for help with the installation and calibration of your television. That way you can be sure your TV and all associated devices are connected correctly for maximum viewing pleasure.
It’s not always easy to choose which TV best suits you and your bedroom. Feel free to take a look at the overview of the 10 best TVs of this year for inspiration. In general, a small television is a safe choice, because that TV size fits well with the average viewing distance in a bedroom. By a small TV we mean a set that is 43 inches or smaller. Don’t worry: a small TV size doesn’t mean you have to compromise on picture or sound quality.
