You don't necessarily need the most expensive TV, but you should choose one with a panel quality appropriate for your viewing distance and room lighting conditions.

Why the Right TV Makes a Difference for Movies and Series

Modern movies and series are filmed with very high-quality standards. A TV with good color reproduction, deep contrast, and HDR support allows you to see more detail in dark scenes and more realistic colors.
