The right-size TV for you depends on your idea of "big" of course, but also on your room size and how far you'll sit from the TV when you watch. Keep in mind that screen size is measured diagonally and only includes the screen, not the outer casing.

TV Buying Guide

When it comes to buying the right television for your home, Sam's Club® understands that it might seem overwhelming at first. You want to understand all the terms and the latest technologies without having to be an expert. And, you want to find the TV that's right for you and your family—complete with the features, style and extras that you'll all enjoy. That's why Sam's Club created an easy-to-understand overview of the current TV technology.

Before you dive in, think about a few things related to how you and your family watch. Which room will you put the TV in? It might be helpful to have the dimensions of the room handy while you're shopping, so you can use this information to determine which TV size is best for you. Next, are you loyal to a particular brand? Sam's Club sells top brands, including Samsung TVs, Vizio TVs, LG TVs, Hitachi TVs and Sharp TVs. Another thing to consider is how you and your family typically watch TV now. For example, do you like to watch live television? Or maybe you prefer to record shows and watch them when it's more convenient. Are you big Blu-Ray fans? Or, perhaps you like to stream content from services like Netflix and Amazon.

You've probably heard of Smart Televisions. Smart TVs are much more than just TVs. They've got built-in Wi-Fi capability, so you can connect them to your home network and surf the web, watch streaming content and play games, all without additional devices. Pretty smart, right?

The TV Buying guide will help you make all kinds of decisions when it comes to your new television. And once you decide, you can rest easy, knowing that Sam's Club offers free tech support for the electronics you buy at the Club. This is a members-only perk, and it's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
