It’s easy to look for the smart TV with the best display panel or the loudest speakers, but those aren’t necessarily classified as operation features. Sure, better visuals are always welcome, but you might be disappointed if it lacks “true” features. For example, an 86-inch OLED system won’t do you any good if it doesn’t have any HDMI ports or speaker connections.
With that in mind, there is a checklist you can use to determine which TV is best suited for you.
Features to consider
Remember that the TV with the most features isn’t always the right one, and you need to be sure that you’ll at least use most of them for the TV to be worth your money.

My wife refers to me as an adulterer.

There have been times when Michael Pappas, CEO of The Keyes Co., the sprawling South Florida real estate firm, has wondered about the longevity of his broad roster of salespeople.
“We had thousands of agents,” he said, “and when I was younger I used to go to sleep and hope the next day they all showed up.”
Pappas spoke this past week in the context of a new federal ban on employee noncompete agreements imposed by the Federal Trade Commission, which says it acted to foster more job mobility among employees nationwide.
“We have employees that are management and in leadership that probably would be affected by that,” Pappas said in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
