TV Buying Checklist for Your Room

Check the whole picture before you buy: room fit, exact model, mounting, sound, total cost, and what happens after checkout. Save your progress as you go.

Room, viewing, and screen size

Measure your viewing distance. Measure from your usual seat to the screen wall. Use it as one input—not a rigid rule—when comparing sizes.
Measure the available width and height. Allow for the TV’s outside dimensions, stand or mount, furniture, shelves, doors, and windows.
Check glare, daylight, and viewing angles. Note direct sun, lamps, and seats off to the side. Store lighting can make a screen look different from home.
Choose a comfortable viewing position. Consider your main seat, posture, and room use. Check the screen dimensions and planned center height before buying.

Picture, motion, and smart features

Compare resolution at your viewing distance. Think about screen size, viewing distance, and the content you watch—not just the largest number on the box.
Match brightness and screen finish to the room. Compare reflections and brightness for your real lighting conditions, including daytime viewing.
Check motion and gaming features you need. For sports or a game console, verify the model’s refresh rate, supported input features, and the specific HDMI port requirements.
Confirm apps, updates, and accessibility. Check the streaming apps you use, update policy, voice features, captions, and other accessibility options.

Exact model, mount, and wall

Write down the exact model number. Model names can hide meaningful differences. Save the full model code and verify specifications on the manufacturer’s product page.
Check dimensions, weight, and VESA pattern. Use model-specific measurements, with and without the stand. Match the mounting-hole spacing and weight to the mount’s specifications.
Identify the wall surface and mounting position. Note the planned location and wall type. Confirm the mount and installation approach are suitable for the specific wall and TV.
Plan nearby power and cable paths. Decide where devices will sit and how visible cables will be managed. In-wall power work must use a code-compliant solution.

Sound, ports, and accessories

Count the ports your devices require. List consoles, streaming boxes, receivers, and other gear. Check port count, features, and which ports support them.
Confirm soundbar fit and connection. Compare its width, placement, and mounting options. Verify the TV and soundbar share a connection such as HDMI ARC/eARC or optical.
Check audio controls and included accessories. Ask whether the TV remote can control volume and power, and check which cables, feet, brackets, or adapters are in the box.
Buy only cables that meet your setup’s needs. Match cable type and length to the devices and features you plan to use. Avoid paying extra for specifications your setup will not use.

Price, delivery, and aftercare

Add up the full setup cost. Include the TV, stand or mount, soundbar, needed cables, delivery, installation, and any cable-management work you choose.
Compare the final price and promotions. Check the price after discounts, required bundles, financing terms, and any fees. Compare the exact model, not just the series name.
Read delivery, return, and damage terms. Confirm delivery access, inspection steps, the return window, restocking fees, and who to contact if the screen arrives damaged.
Understand the warranty and support options. Check what the manufacturer and retailer cover, for how long, and how service is arranged for this exact model.

Delivery day and installation plan

Check the delivery path and final location. Measure doorways, stairs, and turns; clear the route and confirm the TV can reach its planned location.
Inspect the box before setup. Follow the retailer’s instructions for visible shipping damage and keep packaging until you have checked the screen and contents.
Decide who will mount and connect everything. Confirm the work included, wall type, TV size, soundbar, cable routing, and any extra services before scheduling.
Test the picture, sound, apps, and devices. Before disposing of packaging, verify the screen, remote, Wi-Fi, apps, connected devices, and audio setup work as expected.

Use the TV height calculator to compare viewing positions, or find a local installer when you are ready to plan installation.
