Don’t Make the Mistakes Most Shoppers Still Do (And How to Choose Like a Pro)

There’s nothing worse than buying a brand new TV… only to realize it’s too small, too slow, or doesn’t work with your Netflix.

At Emcor, we help Filipino families and businesses find the perfect TV for their space, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or building your dream home theater, this updated 2025 guide will help you get it right the first time.

Step 1: Don’t Start with the Brand—Start with the Size & Space

TVs look smaller in the showroom. That 50″ you fell in love with might dominate your living room—or worse, look tiny on your wall.

Here’s a size-to-distance cheat sheet:

Screen Size	Ideal Viewing Distance
32″	4–6 feet
43″	5–7 feet
50″	6–8 feet
55″	7–9 feet
65″	8–10 feet

📏 Tip: Measure your couch-to-TV distance, then match the screen size. Not sure? Ask Emcor’s team for help.

Step 2: Choose Your Resolution Wisely

Still stuck on “HD vs. 4K vs. 8K”?

Here’s what actually matters in 2025:

Resolution	Best For	Why Choose It
HD (720p)	Budget TVs, kitchen TVs	Basic viewing only
Full HD (1080p)	Small living rooms, secondary rooms	Clearer than HD, still affordable
4K UHD	Primary living rooms, Netflix & YouTube fans	Crisp, immersive quality
8K	Huge screens (75”+)	Future-proof, but content is limited

🎯 Bottom line: For most Filipino homes, 4K is the sweet spot—it balances price, performance, and future content.

Step 3: Go Smart (You Won’t Regret It)

If you’re still plugging in USBs or HDMI cables daily, it’s time to upgrade.

Smart TVs today include:

• ✅ Built-in Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video
• ✅ Wi-Fi connection for streaming
• ✅ App store access (games, weather, even karaoke!)
• ✅ Voice control (select models)

💡 Tip: Check the OS (Android TV, Roku, LG WebOS) to match your tech comfort level.

Bonus: Emcor’s Smart TV picks also pair well with soundbars, consoles, and home Wi-Fi.

Step 4: Match Your Lifestyle

You Are…	You Need…
A Netflix binge-watcher	Smart TV + 4K + HDR
A gamer	Low input lag + 120Hz refresh
A minimalist	Frameless or wall-mounted TV
A family of five	Bigger screen, better audio
Running a business	Commercial display, signage-ready options

Not sure what features match your use case? We’ll walk you through it.

Step 5: Buy Where You Get Support (Not Just a Box)

We get it—big discounts are tempting.

But when you buy from Emcor, you get:

✅ Genuine units from trusted brands
✅ Easy installment plans
✅ Delivery + setup options
✅ Real people for after-sales help

🎯 That means no “uh-oh” moments when the screen doesn’t turn on, or your new 65” doesn’t fit the wall.
