Gone are the days when the television was so fondly referred to as the idiot box. In fact, we’ve come a long way from looking down on those who spent hours in front of it to actually sitting in awe of it. More often than not, you’ll find yourself awestruck at the vividness of picture-quality and the immersive experience it offers. I’ll take my chances by saying that 8/10 times this happens when you’re considering buying a newer smart model. Oh, how the world of televisions has evolved. Step into any retail store and you’re spoilt for choice. There are sellers displaying models of differing sizes, features, budgets, systems and brands and, almost every owner is walking through the store soaking up all the information of the various smart TV's and thoroughly perplexed. Jargon like 4k TV, Smart TV, HDR viewing, LED picture quality, etc. can be hard to decode. Here’s a low-down on the system differentiation, products and the smart viewing experiences they offer. The Definition of a 4k TV Well, it doesn’t matter how much you know about the inside workings of the set. It all boils down to the viewing quality. And that essentially is the crux of a 4k tv. You’ll hear sellers using descriptions like extremely detailed graphics, to sell the product to their buyers. A 4k tv displays 4 times the detail that a regular smart tv would. It contains so many pixels that they could occupy 4 full HD screens of 1080p. That sure is bound to be a viewing experience you can’t resist. What is the Meaning of HDR Quality? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range formats that are used to play broadcasted and streamed content. This is an open-format technology and fairly new in the world of televisions but will evolve in the future. Currently, most models are enhanced with an HDR10 standard, which is common across the industry. What this particular format does is increase the levels of contrast between the most brightest whites and darkest blacks. This way the graphics appear sharper, more detailed and colorful. It goes without saying that this would be a feature any smart-tv owner would enjoy and love to enjoy within the comfort of their home. Undoubtedly it takes up the viewing experience of matches and concerts up by a few notches. If I get a super deal on a Display Floor Model should I buy it?
Your first instinct would be to buy it immediately, however, you sure have come across the old saying ‘if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t’, and this may be one of those times to draw wisdom from it. Do stop and think awhile as to why the display floor model may be offered at such a steal of a price. What most homeowners or buyers fail to recall is that the very purpose of a floor display model is for marketing. That means it is plugged on and kept on maximum brightness nearly all day long. Of course, this will have an effect on the life-span of the gadget, which the seller will try to distract you from. Why buy something that has already exhausted some of its efficiency. Experts would advise you to hold off and not fall for the deal of a display floor model unless you’re fine with another expense in the future. OLED VS QLED VS ULED – which one should I opt for? While these may sound like a bunch of alphabets strung together, these are the different technologies used to power up the lighting on your tv screen, which affects the vividness of your smart tv. In a nutshell, here are the technologies they are made up of:
Finally, no one but you can be the best decision-maker of what television set you should buy. Irrespective of what the seller says to you, you need to make an informed decision based on your budget, need, and additional investments you will need to make to match the model you are buying. Above everything else, remember to purchase it from a reputed store in Melbourne, a store that values your purchase the way you do. About the Author: Steven Lam Heads Gecko Products.
