First, decide whether or not you want a smart 65-inch TV. With built-in internet connectivity, smart TVs allow you to stream content from popular services like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube directly on your TV without the need for an additional streaming device. You can also access apps, browse the web and even control your smart home devices right from your TV screen.

Next, determine how you will be using your 65-inch television. If image quality is important to you, consider going with a 4K 65-inch TV for a vividly detailed viewing experience. If you’re into video games or if you stream a lot of movies and shows, think about getting a 65-inch TV with a higher refresh rate. Higher refresh rates provide smoother motion and reduce motion blur, making fast-paced action appear more fluid and lifelike.

Stocking up on essential TV and home theater accessories is also a good idea. Items such as HDMI cables, TV mounts or stands and cable management solutions can optimize your setup and ensure a clean and organized appearance. And, depending on where you ultimately position your TV, you may be able to get better reception out of your TV antenna, which is great for watching over-the-air broadcasts of local channels in high definition.

Annual maintenance and cleaning also factors in to your overall viewing experience. Cleaning a TV screen is an easy process, but it's essential to use the right materials and techniques to avoid damaging the delicate surface. Screen cleaners and microfiber cloths can remove dust and smudges while being gentle on the screen.
