The episode begins with Mr. Kim and his daughter Janet visiting a discount electronics store to peruse their selection of TVs. While there, they run into Gerald, Janet's ex-boyfriend, which leads to some awkward conversation as Mr. Kim tries to find the right TV for his family.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Kim becomes increasingly frustrated with their old TV and begins to pressure her husband to make a decision about buying a new one. She becomes enamored with the idea of getting a smart TV that can connect to the internet. Mr. Kim, however, resists this idea, claiming that they don't need all those extra features and that it will only complicate things.

Despite this, Mr. Kim decides to surprise his wife by purchasing a new TV without her knowledge. However, when he brings it home, Mrs. Kim is not pleased with his choice, citing that it's too big for the room and too complicated to set up. The family spends a large portion of the episode trying to figure out how to mount the TV on the wall and get all of the new features to work.

As they work through these issues, some unexpected guests drop by the store - a group of tourists who mistake Kim's Corner Store for a museum. The tourists are led by a young woman named Shannon, who Janet befriends and invites over to the store. Shannon's presence causes some tension between Janet and Gerald, as Gerald becomes jealous of Janet's new friend.

Throughout the episode, the family works together to navigate the new TV, with each member having their own struggles and successes. Janet and Alex, a friend of the family, work on mounting the TV, while Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim figure out how to navigate all of the new features. Eventually, they succeed in getting everything to work, and the family sits down to watch a movie together.

Overall, "New TV" is an entertaining and heartwarming episode of Kim's Convenience that explores the dynamics of the Kim family as they adjust to a new piece of technology. With some great comedic moments and touching scenes between the family members, it's a must-watch for fans of the show.
