Screen size: OLEDs are available in sizes from 42 inches to 97 inches, and there may be even larger TVs coming in the future. One of the best pieces of advice I can give is, if you can afford it, always buy a TV that’s one size bigger than you think you need. While 65 inches is the norm today, TVs will continue to get bigger every yearand you might consider buying a 77-inch to prevent an upgrade in the near future. However, if you are shopping for a bedroom or game room, you may want to look at TVs that are 55 inches or smaller.

Consider the old models: At the affordable end of OLED, annual model updates aren’t as dramatic compared to flagships. For TVs like LG B5 or even C5, for example, it makes sense to compare the prices of last year’s model and get which one is the cheapest. In the meantime, as we progress into the new year you will see the prices of 2025 models keep dropping.

HDR formats: While it’s not absolutely essential, Dolby Vision compatibility is a plus. Of course, Samsung does not support the Dolby format and instead offers its own version that it calls HDR10 plus, and it is gaining popularity. Finally, however, almost every 4K TV supports HDR 10, and it works well.

Game: If you’re a gamer then having game enhancement features is a bonus, and these include a dedicated gaming mode (for turning off processing and reducing lag), 120Hz or higher support and even gaming apps like Xbox Game PassAmazon Luna and Steam Link.

Operating system: With the introduction of Philips Roku TVyou have a choice of all the best smart TV interfaces on OLED televisions. Whether it’s Google TV, Fire TV or one of the manufacturer-specific systems, opting for a popular smart TV interface gives you the most choice of apps and on-demand content.
