How do you choose the right TV?

Choosing the right TV depends on how you watch, your room size and your budget. Start with the screen size and viewing distance, then compare resolution, display technology, refresh rate, sound quality and smart features. Also check HDMI and USB ports, supported apps, warranty and energy efficiency. A TV with the right balance of features and price can give you a better viewing experience without paying for features you may not use.

Convert the cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget and enjoy zero down payment on select models. Check your loan eligibility online in minutes so you know exactly what you can get before you step into the store.

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen TV qualifies before you check out.

Which should you choose - OLED, QLED or LED for your TV?

Choosing between OLED, QLED and LED TVs depends on picture quality, brightness, viewing habits, room conditions, budget and long-term usage needs overall.

Choose OLED for contrast, QLED for brightness and LED for affordability, while considering your room, viewing habits, budget and preferred picture quality.

How do I choose the right TV size for my room?

Choosing the right TV size depends on viewing distance, room dimensions, screen resolution, seating layout and how you usually watch content daily.

  • Viewing distance: Sit farther from larger TVs and closer to smaller screens for comfortable everyday viewing overall.
  • Room size: Measure wall space and room width before choosing a TV that fits without feeling oversized.
  • Resolution: Higher-resolution 4K TVs let you sit closer without noticing individual pixels on the screen easily.
  • Seating layout: Choose a screen size that provides a clear view from all main seating positions comfortably.
  • Viewing habits: Movies benefit from larger screens, while casual news viewing may suit a smaller television better.
  • Bedroom use: For bedrooms, a moderate screen size can prevent the display from dominating limited wall space.

Compare viewing distance, room size, resolution and seating position before buying to choose a TV that feels comfortable for everyday viewing overall.

General

Can I buy a TV on Easy EMI?

Yes, you can easily bring home a TV using Bajaj Finance’s Easy EMI options. Whether you already have the EMI Network Card or are new to it, here is how to get started:


If you already have the Bajaj Finance EMI Network Card:

  • Explore TVs on Bajaj Mall: Choose from top brands and models with features like 4K display, HDR, and smart Android functions.
  • Visit a partner store: Check out the product in person at any of Bajaj Finance’s 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities in India.
  • Use your EMI Network Card at checkout: Swipe your card and split the cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget.
  • Take it home without paying upfront: Some models offer zero down payment, so you can enjoy your TV immediately.

If you do not have an EMI Network Card:

Check your Insta EMI Card eligibility online using your mobile number and OTP. If eligible, you can apply instantly and shop for your favourite TV in a smarter, more affordable way.

Before buying a TV, check the screen size, resolution, display technology, refresh rate, HDR support, connectivity and smart TV platform. Also consider speaker output, HDMI and USB ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. Match the screen size to your viewing distance and room size. If you watch sports or play games, refresh rate and response performance matter more. Compare these specifications with your budget and everyday viewing needs.

Choose a TV screen size based on your viewing distance, room dimensions and seating arrangement. Smaller rooms may suit 32-inch or 43-inch TVs, while larger living rooms can accommodate 50-inch, 55-inch or bigger screens. A larger screen can improve immersion, but sitting too close may feel uncomfortable. Measure the available wall or TV-unit space before buying and ensure there is enough room for ventilation and convenient viewing.

A 4K TV offers a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, giving more detail than Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels. The difference becomes easier to notice on larger screens and when watching 4K content. Full HD can still suit smaller TVs or basic viewing needs. Consider available streaming content, screen size and budget before deciding. For long-term use, 4K is generally the more flexible choice.

Refresh rate shows how many times the TV updates the picture each second. A 60 Hz TV is suitable for everyday movies, shows and regular viewing. Higher refresh rates, such as 120 Hz, can make fast sports and gaming appear smoother. However, supported refresh rate can differ by resolution and input. If gaming matters, also check HDMI specifications, variable refresh rate support and the console or PC capabilities.

LED TVs are widely available and usually offer good value for regular viewing. QLED TVs use quantum-dot technology to improve brightness and colour performance. OLED TVs can deliver deep blacks and strong contrast because individual pixels can switch off independently. The best choice depends on your room, viewing habits and budget. Bright rooms may benefit from higher brightness, while movie-focused viewers may prefer stronger black levels and contrast.
