You want to make sure you have all the features and specs that suit the entertainment you want to consume, but it's important not to overpay for things that end up being superfluous. Some new TVs offer a lot of extras that aren't necessary, and they tend to carry the highest of price tags. ]]>Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:17:31 GMThttps://www.pocket-lint.com/how-to-save-money-buy-older-tv/<![CDATA[4 TV tech trends I think will shape the next 5 years]]>https://www.pocket-lint.com/tv-tech-trends-that-will-shape-the-next-5-years/TV technology used to evolve relatively slowly, as any kid of the '90s or earlier can tell you. Things continued moving slowly into the 2000s -- when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, it was the first time a lot of people discovered how much they needed HD. By the 2010s, however, the race was on. 720p resolution was quickly eclipsed by 1080p, then 4K. The first smart TVs started shipping, and screen sizes ballooned beyond anything I could've imagined owning in high school. 40 inches went from being gigantic to tiny. Today, many living room TVs are over 60 inches, and there are reasonably affordable 100-inch TVs if you care more about dimensions than quality. ]]>Sat, 30 Aug 2025 19:00:17 GMThttps://www.pocket-lint.com/tv-tech-trends-that-will-shape-the-next-5-years/<![CDATA[Don't buy a battery-powered projector without knowing this]]>https://www.pocket-lint.com/outdoor-projector-battery/One of the appeals of a projector over a TV is the opportunity to take your entertainment experience to unique places. Smaller, portable projectors allow you to set up your favorite movie or show in spaces that a smart TV may struggle to serve. While a smart TV is static, a projector, especially smaller ones, can be set up in bedrooms, vacation rentals, or even outside, casting onto walls, ceilings, or screens. ]]>Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:00:16 GMThttps://www.pocket-lint.com/outdoor-projector-battery/<![CDATA[Tweak these 5 settings to make your LG smart TV feel brand new]]>https://www.pocket-lint.com/lg-smart-tv-tips/The latest smart TVs are packed full of all kinds of features and possibilities when it comes to how you enjoy your favorite titles. This is especially true for newer models by LG, one of the industry leaders that continues to innovate and improve its technology. ]]>Fri, 15 Aug 2025 11:00:14 GMThttps://www.pocket-lint.com/lg-smart-tv-tips/<![CDATA[This one TV feature matters more than having the fastest refresh rate]]>https://www.pocket-lint.com/vrr-on-tv/While most of the specs hype around smart TVs tends to revolve around their resolution, brightness, and HDR (high dynamic range) formats, you'll also see refresh rates (measured in hertz) come up as a frequent bragging point. Indeed, the way some product pages go on about them, you'd think that refresh rates were everything -- as if specs that weren't as fast as possible would be a disappointment. It's why motion smoothing is still an option on TVs, even though it tends to lead to the "soap opera effect" when you watch movies or shows shot at 24 frames per second (fps). ]]>Mon, 11 Aug 2025 16:44:53 GMThttps://www.pocket-lint.com/vrr-on-tv/
