With smart technology controlling everything from washing machines to cars that sync with your smartwatch, the more commonplace the tech becomes, the lower the price bandings will be, with no loss of quality. It was only a matter of time before smart TVs dropped in price, so choosing one for your home has become easy.
Offering streamlined bezels, and a minimalist chassis, these TVs are ideal for the living room, or as a second screen for the bedroom, but what about the smart feature?
Smart TVs, unlike the regular ‘dumb’ TVs that only receive signals via an antenna or cable, can do a whole lot more. Allowing internet connectivity, you can download and stream movies and music, access the internet, play computer games, and, through the numerous available apps, do a whole lot more. Syncing to other smart devices in your home, your smart TV becomes a hub to access and control gadgets. Adjust the heating, or lighting, turn the oven on, connect to Alexa and even with some models, use voice control to change channels, record your favourite show or search for the latest blockbuster – all from the comfort of your sofa.
Before recommending any smart TV under £200, every model is subjected to a number of arduous tests to establish, amongst other things:
- Picture quality – resolution, clarity, contrast and black levels are amongst the most crucial elements towards establishing picture quality. Coupled with colour, we ensure that all our featured models offer the highest levels of image quality
- Audio – building into the immersive TV adventure, audio plays a crucial role and should demonstrate rich, reliable tones with good contrasts

- Value for money – by weighing up the price vs the TV’s particular features, build quality, and all round viewing experience, we can establish whether value for money is offered
