Most Compatible TVs for Your Streaming

I think it’s safe to say that most people know their internet provider and speed greatly affect their viewing experience on media streamers, but did you know your TV matters too? It’s true, and here’s why!

Layout & Integration

The layout is extremely important for any TV viewing, but especially when it comes to finding your favorite TV shows and movies through a streaming service. Many TVs now have built-in applications to make it easier for users to find and begin playing whatever they choose. Whether it be Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu, it’s more than likely there. A few specialty TVs will also include brand-specific apps, like VUDU or PlayStation Vue.

Connection

TV connectivity is also a great thing to keep in mind when purchasing a device. Many will search for a TV that pairs easily and pairs well with their Alexa devices and more that make their viewing experience more convenient.

Visual Quality

Last, but certainly not least, we need to keep an eye on the specs listed for TVs. We all know how vital it is for a television to produce a great resolution and vivid sound, but especially when you’ll be pulling and streaming videos from the internet. We recommend purchasing a TV with capabilities of at least 1080p resolution.
