. HDR. The world of TVs is looking better every day, but also more confusing.
Today, there's a wide array of high-definition (HD) and 4K Ultra HD sets to choose from, from bargain big screens
to high-end displays that can cost as much as a car.
Quick TipsIf you're in a hurry, here are the most important things to consider before you buy a television. We explain each of these points in greater detail in the text below:
- Don't buy a TV with less than 4K resolution if you want a future-proof set.
- Expect to pay about $500 for a solid 50- to 55-inch bargain 4K TV and at least $900 for a 65-inch model.
- Look for an HDR-compatible set , which offers more realistic colors and better contrast.
- OLED TVs look much better than a typical LED LCD, but they are considerably more expensive.
- Ignore contrast-ratio specs: manufacturers fudge the numbers. Trust your own eyes.
- Look for at least four HDMI ports; 4K shoppers should ask about HDCP compatibility.
- Curved TVs are a fashion statement. They don't benefit image quality.
- Most TVs are "smart TVs" these days with easy access to Netflix and other online apps. Don't be tricked into thinking this is a big deal.
- Consider purchasing a soundbar. TV speakers are worse nowadays because the screens are thinner.

I've been an IT consultant for most of my life and one of our mantras is -fast, good, and cheap. you never get all three!- Somehow CompSource does it. I'd ordered a portable air conditioner from two other vendors and both strung me along and finally cancelled my order *after* charging me since they apparently couldn't either manage stock or suppliers properly. I eventually got my money back but I was worried up getting gouged with summer "on season" pricing. I found CompSource had a unit almost identical (different branding) and thought I'd give it one more try. To be honest it looked too good to be true. Price with shipping was over $100 less than the competition. I was shocked that it arrived almost as fast as I got the *tracking number*. I ordered on a Friday and got the FedEx tracking number on Monday from Rich Burson and had the unit Tuesday evening. This is a nearly 100lb 12K BTU beast that I would have expected to take at least a couple weeks to get. I sent a quick thank you email and who replies? The President of the company. Personally. Smart guy. I used to check Newegg first. Not anymore. Thanks! MikeMore Reviews
