Nowadays, purchasing a new TV can be a complex process due to the increasingly higher number of technologies and specifications that make the decision harder.There is a lot of information to process, so a lot of factors can come into play, and although at the end of the day it will always come down to personal choice, this choice should be informed.This means you might want to consider a few factors before deciding on your brand new TV.
Included in the display is not just the resolution or size of the screen, which should also be taken into consideration (especially because you should think about the size of your room and how the viewing experience will be), but also the type of display.
A plasma screen will be different from an LCD or a LED screen.Plasma displays are great for a high-quality cinematic experience, mainly because they tend to have a good colour quality, but they’re not very bright, so they’re best experienced in low ambient light.As for LCD screens, they’re often the cheapest choice and are energy efficient, but they might not be the best choice for high frame-rate gaming, and they also tend to offer limited viewing angles. LED displays are energy-efficient as well, since they use LEDs for the liquid crystals in the display, but they can be more expensive.
This factor is merely the ratio of the TV’s width with the height, and although it doesn’t affect the quality of the image, some ratios will mean that the image might not cover every portion of your screen. So make sure to choose the one you like the most, which is probably 16:9, as it tends to be the one chosen to watch movies.
Contrast Ratio
The contrast ratio refers to the brightness level capable of being displayed by a TV. A higher ratio means that your screen can display more shadows and hues, but it tends to be measured differently by manufacturers – the best way to make sure of your TV’s contrast ratio is to test it with a movie with dark scenes and see how much detail is shown or lost.
Another important factor to consider is price. TVs vary in terms of pricing, since some will have more functionalities than others, so if you’re looking for something more affordable, you can opt for cheap smart TVs or even clearance TVs – they retain a great quality in terms of image and other features, such us resolution, while offering a competitive price.
So when buying a TV there are things you should consider before committing yourself, since its design might have a say but shouldn’t be the main influencing factor.If you want to know more about purchasing the best TVfor your home, or if you’re interested in our other services and products, don’t hesitate to contact us or give us a call on 0121 327 3273.
