Gone are the days of 13-inch screens that only showcase three basic network channels. In today’s world, it’s all about streaming TV services at the touch of a finger. If you enjoy binge-watching your favorite shows, it’s time for an upgraded smart TV.

We looked into the best smart TV for the money and found that, fortunately, smart TVs from popular brands like LG and Samsung often go on sale. Of course, the smaller the smart TV, the more you save (we’re talking in the hundreds for a 32-inch versus paying 10 times that much for something double the size). Oh, and we’d recommend skipping the extended warranty retailers offer. This goes especially if it’s more expensive than what your credit or debit card insurance will cover.

Overall, smart TVs hold a ton of value in that they can double as a computer screen for schoolwork, playing video games, or Zoom meetings with coworkers. And they last for years.
