Way better. Once upon a time, the family sofa determined how big or small the TV should be. As in: the further away the sofa, the bigger the TV. In fact, the one thing every serious review of current 4K TVs will tell you: bigger is better. Go too small, and you will regret it. Samsung's The Frame TV. LG Gallery TVs. The newest TV mounting options let you put your TV flush to the wall like a sticker or over the fireplace with the latest fireplace friendly mounts that are really clever.
The end-effect: the TV takes up less space, seems smaller, and is less intrusive. Plus, a wall mount means you don't have to buy some giant piece of furniture to put the TV on.
Keep in mind: a inch TV has more than twice the screen real estate of a inch TV. Odd but true. Geometry rocks. At 65 or 75 inches, your TV will turn your den into a cozy cinema. And don't forget, TV screens are measured diagonally, corner to corner. Not side to side. Curved or flat? We vote no. Both are awesome, but one is better. End of story. First came plasma.
By the way, no one makes plasma TVs anymore. Then came LCD short for liquid crystal display , which was awesome but had severe shortcomings. Here's how they stack up against each other:.
LED TVs are backlit, which means a light shines through a panel of crystals to create the picture. LEDs are especially good in well-lit spaces and can be made even brighter for sunny Florida rooms.
OLED is spectacular in dimmer rooms. With OLED, colors pop, black is true black which is huge , and contrast and shadow detail are true to life.
The deeper the blacks, the better the contrast. And the better the contrast, the better the picture. Important: Make sure your TV will look good from various angles in your particular room!
This is not an issue with OLED technology — every viewing angle is optimum. A better TV generally is great out of the box with factory settings, but they do come with menu settings that improve fast action — though sometimes at the expense of the picture.
Your call to turn it on or leave it off. If you really want to see a side-by-side OLED vs. LED contest, visit a showroom near you and ask to see a video of fireworks at night on both types of panels - at the same time. Take LG vs. Vizio, for example.
The LG will have better blacks, better contrast, more vibrant color, and wider viewing angles. It was a fad. Truth be told, it seems people just didn't want to wear 3D glasses all day. Go with 4K. Boom, done. Hint: more pixels wins. And 4K has 6 million more pixels than regular HD. Why the two names,? Who knows, we missed that meeting. Both refer to screen resolution, and the number of pixels on the screen.
The more pixels, the better, sharper, and more lifelike the picture. Quick history: Back in the old days, TV resolution was awful, but it was all we had. Then 5 years ago, 4K arrived and we went from over 2 million pixels to over 8 million pixels, and we all found out what perfect really looks like.
Yes, 8K made an appearance at CES this year , but let's not go there just yet. Your new 4K TV makes even regular old HD content better, thanks to new upscaling technologies that beautifully and instantly transpose P to 4K by adding pixel density in the process.
Blu-ray movies in 4K? Also mind-blowing. Gaming in 4K? Moral of this story: you want a 4K TV. If you watch a lot of TV and plan on having your new TV for 5 years or more, then yes, spending more is worth it. That said, there are still reasons you may want to get a regular old p TV :. HDTVs are cheap these days. And they're just fine for a kitchen, spare bedroom, etc.
HD resolution p on a smaller screen 32 inches or less is still a fantastic picture. What is 4K HDR? In spite of the same name. HDR on a phone allows the camera to take multiple exposures at the same time, and then combines them for higher contrast. The results are often unnatural. HDR on your TV generates higher contrast within the existing pixels, expanding contrast and color so the end result is more natural, accurate, and has more depth. But HDR fixes that by greatly expanding the two most important factors for a great picture: color and contrast ratios.
At least. If you don't currently watch 4K content, a 4K TV will still be a huge improvement. Through a process called up-converting, a 4K TV will take p content and turn it into 4K.
