There’s really no perfect answer as it really depends on your budget and the features you are looking at, however there’s more than just to look at the TV’s visual quality and price tag, and here are a few things you should look out when shopping for a new 4K TV.
Input Ports and Connectivity
It is important to take note of the amount and type of ports your new 4K TV has, especially when you have multiple devices such as game consoles, TV boxes, Blu-ray disc players in your living room, having sufficient amount of HDMI ports ensures that you don’t need to frequently unplug devices when switching between devices, do also take note that your 4K TV should come with HDMI 2.0 ports so that you can display 4K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, which means smoother motion when using devices like laptops.
Since 4K TVs give you access to apps and content online, you might want to take note if the TV supports 5GHz WiFi networks as it will significantly improves download speeds especially when streaming high resolution 4K content, most manufacturers will usually have it specify on the TV’s product specifications, otherwise toggle around the TV’s settings to see if it can discover nearby 5GHz WiFi networks.

 The most common screen technologies are IPS, VA and OLED, which the latter is usually available on more premium TV models as they are superior in terms of image quality, however they can potentially be subjected to ‘burn-in’ issues in the long term, which literally looks like a burned mark on your panel.
