40-Inch TVs (33"–40")

Buying a new 40-inch TV.

Finding the best 40-inch TV for you.

Start by thinking about how you will be using your 40-inch television. If you’re seeking a smaller TV to keep in the garage or in the kitchen, a Full HD 40-inch TV can be perfect. However, if you prefer advanced image quality and want a more visually immersive viewing experience, it might be better to go with a 4K 40-inch TV or an HDR 40-inch TV.

Next, consider the capabilities a smart 40-inch TV has to offer that you might find useful. If you opt for a non-smart 40-inch TV, you’ll have to invest in a separate streaming media player to enjoy streaming content. However, smart TVs have built-in streaming and browsing abilities. This allows you to search the web and access your favorite streaming services without any extra devices or hassle.

When you are setting up your 40-inch television, remember to stock up on some TV and home theater accessories you might need. Using a TV mount and keeping your TV on the wall is a great way to save space, and, it may even provide better reception for your TV antenna. Having an extra remote control on hand is also a good idea, especially considering how easy they are to lose.

Getting the most out of your 40-inch television.

Make sure your 40-inch TV is securely hooked up and set up properly with the TV connect and setup services provided by Best Buy. TV and home theater services can help ensure that your TV is mounted correctly, all cables are neatly managed and the TV is connected to your home network. Professional setup can also optimize your 40-inch TV's picture and sound settings, helping you get the best possible viewing experience from the start.

You should position your TV at an ideal viewing distance. Since your new TV is 40 inches, a recommended viewing distance would be approximately five to eight feet away from the screen. This distance allows you to fully appreciate the detail and clarity of the images without feeling overwhelmed by the size of the screen.

Finally, don’t forget to keep up with regular upkeep. If you’re wondering how to clean a TV screen, carefully wipe dust and debris away with a non-abrasive cloth. Specific screen cleaners can also be used to help ensure you don’t scratch or smudge the surface. Additionally, check and clean the vents and ports periodically to prevent dust buildup, which can cause overheating and reduce the lifespan of your TV.
