No matter how much we all may be addicted to looking down at our phone screens, there’s still no better feeling than when you can stick your feet up, pour a nice cold beverage, and switch on the TV to watch your favorite program on a big screen.
Just like smartphones, TV technology has come a long way in a short space of time. State-of-the-art TVs are now all ‘smart’ too – meaning they come with a variety of different cool features, are displayed on superb quality screens, and are designed to give you the very best experience possible for your big night in on the couch.
If you’re a bit of tech-novice, it can be hard to know what to look for and where to find the best deals for your needs, so to help, here’s a basic guide to the best latest TVs currently out there.
