Friend Regrets ₹1 Lakh TV Purchase; Seven Mistakes to Avoid
My friend bought a ₹1 Lakh TV. He regretted it almost immediately after installing it · livemint.com

A man bought a very expensive TV and felt sad right after it was set up.

The TV was not broken, but it was not right for his room or how he watched TV.

The article explains seven mistakes people make when buying a TV.

First, you should measure how far you sit from the screen before picking a size.

Bright rooms need very bright TVs, while dark rooms are better for OLED screens.

TV speakers are often weak, so a soundbar can help.

For games, you need a fast screen with special features.

You should not pay extra just for a fancy menu.

You should also change the picture setting from the bright showroom mode.

Finally, do not trust HDR logos, because the screen hardware matters more.
