TV Buying Guide Singapore 2025: What Size, Features & Hidden Alternatives to Consider
Buying a new TV in Singapore this year? Whether you're upgrading your living room setup or choosing a screen for your bedroom, there are more options than ever—and a few unexpected alternatives you might not know about.
How to Choose the Right TV Size
The right TV size depends on your viewing distance and room size. Here’s a quick reference:
- 32” – 43”: Great for bedrooms or kitchens
- 50” – 55”: Ideal for small living rooms
- 65” – 75”: Best for spacious living rooms
- Above 75”: Immersive but costly and space-demanding
General rule: Divide your viewing distance (in inches) by 1.6 for an optimal screen size. For example, if you sit 100 inches (~2.5m) away, a 60–65” TV is ideal.
4K vs Full HD: Does Resolution Matter?
Most TVs today come in Full HD or 4K. If you're buying above 50", go for 4K—it offers sharper images and better detail, especially when streaming high-quality content or using next-gen consoles like PS5 or Xbox Series X.
Smart TV Features to Look For
Streaming is now standard. A good smart TV in 2025 should include:
- Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video support
- Voice control (Google Assistant or Alexa)
- Screen mirroring or casting
- Multiple HDMI ports
- Fast and simple UI
Best TV Brands in Singapore (2025)
Some trusted brands Singaporeans still love include:
- Samsung – great image quality and UI
- LG – excellent OLED screens
- Sony – premium performance with Android TV
- Xiaomi – budget-friendly smart TVs
Hidden Alternative: What Most TV Buyers Miss
Here’s something most buyers overlook: for the same price as a 55” or 65” TV, you could get a compact, smart screen experience that delivers a 100” image, built-in WiFi, streaming apps, and full portability.
This isn’t the old-school projector you remember from classrooms. Modern big-screen alternatives come with:
- 4K or HD resolution
- Netflix, YouTube, and screen mirroring
- Portable design—move it from room to room
- No need for wall mounts or consoles
In Singapore’s smaller homes, that flexibility is a game-changer. Many who planned to buy a new TV ended up going with this option instead—saving space while upgrading their screen size.
