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.
