Streaming Players & Displays
apps for a screen that may already have them
This is the category that creates the doubling. Every device here is sold to put an app platform on a screen, and most of the televisions in this catalog already state one.

Smart TVs
the one thing in the room that does four jobs
A television is the only item in this catalog that can claim four of the five jobs at once: the picture, the apps, the sound and, through the remote in the box, the input. That is why it is the anchor of every overlap page here.

Replacement Remotes
the button set for a device you already own
Every product in this category is bought for a device that already came with one of these. Sometimes that is the right purchase, because remotes get lost, sat on and dropped behind radiators. Sometimes it is the second one.

TV Wall Mounts
what holds it, and what the listings never state
This is the only category in the catalog where getting it wrong can hurt somebody. A television that comes off a wall or a stand can kill a child. Every page that touches this category says so, and none of them tells anybody how to do the work.

Sound Bars
sound as a separate box
A sound bar takes one job out of the television and puts it in its own enclosure. Whether that is a second one depends entirely on what the television already does, and most of the television listings in this catalog do not say.

HDMI Cables
the part that is usually already in a drawer
The cable is the part of a living room most likely to be bought twice, because it is the part nobody thinks about until the box is open and there is no time to look behind the television.
Jobs this category claims
None. This is the only category here that claims no job of its own.
Four of the categories contain a group with a single listing in it. Those groups get no comparison table, because there is nothing there to compare.
