Buying a TV is an important step, just like purchasing any other home appliance. To make the right choice, you should adhere to several criteria that can help you choose a more attractive model. The choice of inch is important, although it seems like a pretty straightforward part of the selection. It’s not just about how big or small you want your TV, but also how it will look in your room. If you are limited by space, then, accordingly, you should choose not from the widest models.

Another important criterion is the selection of the functions and capabilities of the TV. If you want to get a more modern and technologically advanced model, then a smart TV would be a good decision. They are equipped with an operating system with built-in and RAM, which significantly expands the range of possibilities compared to other TVs. Pay attention to the more important parameters of this technique, namely: brightness, viewing angle, interface, various connectors and their number.

Some consumers are demanding on sound, so they primarily pay attention to the stereo system. As for the other characteristics, light models will be more convenient in everyday life, since they will be easier to transport or rearrange, which makes them more versatile and less bulky in terms of decor.

Quite commonplace, but no less important criterion for this is the price. Telefunken is known for the fact that the products of this manufacturer represent low and medium price segments, so there should be no problems in terms of cost. In terms of price-to-quality ratio, you can easily choose the necessary TV set, since the company has a large range of models.

Before you start using the TV, it is worthwhile to study it in detail.

The manufacturer warns the user that for the most correct use, the TV should be kept safe. This requires the fulfillment of a number of conditions.

• Install equipment as far as possible from heating, heating and other elements. Considering that the TV itself tends to heat up, the increased temperature from the outside can have a negative effect both on individual parts and components of the model, and on its general condition as a whole.
• Watch the surface of the TV. This item includes a large number of actions related to the fact that various small particles, elements, debris, and also liquids do not fall into the openings of the case, which can lead to a short circuit of the equipment.

• Take a very responsible attitude to the installation of the stand, both wall-mounted and table-top. Improper installation of the TV can result in serious physical damage to it later.

All wires must be intact, connectors are connected tightly and securely.Make sure that there are no problems with the power supply system or surges in it, as this can also lead to negative consequences for the equipment.

As for the first setup, it is important to study the remote control here. To do this, you will need to read the instructions. Having learned the basic functions of the buttons, you will be able to navigate the menu and its sections, as well as get information on how to adjust the settings or, for example, restart the device. For the first time, choose the automatic selection of channels, as this choice excludes your interference in the process, because the system will do everything for you.

Later, having studied the technique better and in more detail, as well as going through a step-by-step guide, you will be able to work with various functions and capabilities, for example, enable or disable auto-update, set a timer, and much more. It is worth recalling that with some models, you can connect your phone via USB, so you can play audio, photo and video materials. Don't forget that you can also turn on the USB stick and use the files from there.

Among the most common problems with a TV, you can find a situation when the screen simply does not turn on, or it works, but there is no image, while it may be that there is sound. In fact, there are many reasons for this and other problems, but first of all, check the correct installation of various cables and wires to the TV. Do not forget that the disappearance of the image may also be due to technical malfunctions of the equipment.
