You don’t have to buy a television every day, so it’s important that you make a careful decision. You might think, what’s so difficult about choosing a TV? Just go to the nearest electronics store, watch TV and take it home. Well, it’s not easy with so many new technologies, making decisions is even harder.
The formula for buying a TV is still basic. All you need to do is find the perfect size depending on the size of your room and choose the one with the thinnest bezel; every TV now has virtually no bezels until you get a CRT TV. But now the real problem comes when you get stuck by these terms, like HDR4K, Dolby VisionOLED, QLED and others.
Don’t worry, as we’ll walk you through the process today, explaining what it takes to buy a new TV for your family.
Find a perfect size
Finding the perfect size is the first challenge. Sometimes the TV can be a little bigger than you expected or smaller than what you saw in the store. Because TVs are held in such a way that they look larger than life, and your rooms may vary in size, there is a chance to buy a TV that may or may not fit at all. with your room.
Not much to think about. All you need to do is choose a TV from 55 inches to 65 inches, which is a great choice if you have a moderately large room. Typically, a 55-inch TV is perfect for any room size until it’s not a mansion.
Difference between LCD, LED, QLED and OLED
LCD, LED, QLED, and OLED are some of the most common terms you’ll hear when searching for a TV.
OLED TVs are generally priced at the higher end, and if you are looking for a TV at that price point, then you should go for OLED as it offers the best viewing experience. If not, you can also buy a QLED TV, which also costs more, but it’s an undisputed decision as it offers a much wider color gamut, brightness, and a much better experience than TVs. LED or LCD.
Then there are LCD TVs and LED TVs in the affordable or mid-range price segment. So there are two types of LCD panels – IPS and VA (vertically aligned), and compared to IPS LCD, VA panels provide much better contrast range, which means blacks will look like blacks and not blacks. must be grey. Also, you should check how bright the panel is and avoid TVs with edge-lit panels. Furthermore, if you are buying an LED TV, check to see if it has a local dimming zone as panels with local dimming provide better contrast.
What is the perfect screen resolution? HD, 4K or 8K?
There are 8K TVs on the market, but there isn’t enough 8K content to make them a viable option. So there are mainly two options to choose from – HD and 4K (UHD). HD TVs have a resolution of 1920×1080 while 4K is equivalent to 3840×2160 pixels, meaning a 4K TV has 4 times as many pixels as an HD TV.
The logic is very simple; If you are looking for a TV larger than 50 inches, you should buy a 4K TV. Also, even if you are looking for a cheap TV and have already decided what kind of console you want, you should try to buy a 4K TV if your budget allows, as you will be able to experience the quality. much higher than HD TV. Also, avoid buying HD-ready TVs as they are 720P panels, not 1080P. Also, look for TVs with upscaling technology. Furthermore, look for a TV with a 60Hz refresh rate.
How many ports do you need?
You mainly need HDMI and USB ports on your TV. But more than the number of ports, you need them easily accessible so check first if you can easily reach these ports. Also, look for a TV with HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 2.1 instead of HDMI 1.4 for wider compatibility. In addition, HDMI 2.0 or higher gets you higher resolutions and faster frame rates. A pair of USB-A ports can be useful when you want to plug in an external media device. In addition, an ethernet and optical port can be added.
HDR, Dolby Vision and more
You may have heard these terms a lot, but what do they mean? For starters, HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range, which means your TV will provide better brightness and contrast. In addition, your TV will support a wider color spectrum, which means a better viewing experience.
HDR and HDR10+ are industry standards, and most TVs support HDR. Then we have HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), designed for HDR broadcasts and available on many TVs.
Dolby Vision is also an HDR technology designed by Dolby, but it uses dynamic metadata, which means it defines how each frame will look on your TV, close to how it will look in the real world. So a TV with Dolby Vision will show you content the way the creative minds behind it intended, but not many TVs have Dolby Vision support other than a few OLED ones.
Sound is important
Sound quality is just as important as picture quality when it comes to TVs. Without good sound, you cannot fully experience what you are watching. So what you need to do is look for the speaker configuration. If it reads 2.1, that means there are two speakers and a bass unit. Try to find a TV with a subwoofer that will give you better sound quality. And pre-shot provides a healthy experience.
Dolby Atmos and DTS doesn’t mean the TV has great speakers. Sometimes instead of these certifications, the sound quality can be very disappointing. So instead of looking for a Dolby Atmos card, you should buy a TV with a good pair of stereo speakers and a sub-woofer that would be the cherry on top of the icing.
All TVs are smart, but which TV is the smartest?
Almost every TV these days claims to be smart but which one is actually the smartest. There are basically three platforms – Android TV, TizenOS and WebOS. Good, Android TV is Android for TVs, as the name suggests while TizenOS is found on Samsung TVs while WebOS is a Linux based operating system for LG TVs.
All three of these apps provide every app you need on your TV, but Android TV still has broader compatibility. Also, look for TVs with a clean version of Android TV and check the brand’s reputation for delivering timely updates.
