Here at Electronic World, we have a great range of cheap TV deals at the best value.

So, if you’re thinking about getting a new TV or upgrading your existing set, then we’d recommend one of our fantastic 4K TVs.

4K is everywhere, and it’s getting bigger and better, so if you want a larger size screen with unmatched picture quality, then you should be thinking about 4K. 

In this blog, we’ll look at the main reasons for choosing a 4K TV, including the benefits and features.

Better Image and Brighter Colours 

4K TVs guarantee a sharp and detailed picture with the added pixels making moving images appear deeper.

Nowadays, most films and programmes are shot in 4K, which gives you better picture quality. Each 4K TV has a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels (8 megapixels) which offers you more detail than Full HD TVs, which sit at 2 megapixels.

To get the best picture from your 4K TV, make sure you have HDR on and set the image to a standard-setting. Most 4K TVs come with the option to change the picture setting to game, movie, sports and vivid, which allows you to adjust the colours quickly depending on what you’re watching. Some of our cheap LED TVs also benefit from HDR, which boosts the brightness and colour of the picture instead of just the resolution.

The Benefits of a Larger Screen 

The immediate benefit of a large 4K TV is that the picture will be more detailed, with increased depth and better colour handling. While watching movies, 4K on a big screen offers an immersive experience because the clear picture fills the whole screen.

The added resolution in 4K allows the picture to keep its quality on bigger screens, especially with films where you will see the benefits of viewing the whole frame — on some smaller TVs, the frame has to be cut to size, so you may lose some of the detail.

The social benefits of having a large screen TV are endless. Whether you’re having a movie night with your mates, putting a film on for the kids or spending the afternoon watching football, a bigger TV is more favourable due to the increased picture and better video quality. 

TVs have become flatter and more compact, so it’s important to consider that a modern 50-inch television will fit into the same area that a 42-inch TV would have previously — this means that updating your old TVs is easier than ever.

4K Specific Programmes and Movies 

Whether you’re looking ahead to the Euros this summer or thinking about the latest film releases, rest assured the viewing experience will be so much better in 4K UHD. 

Sky, Netflix, Amazon Prime and BT Sport all have 4K content, with more series and movies planned for 2021. You will not only have more content to enjoy but think about the benefits of watching David Attenborough’s ‘A Perfect Planet’ or the Champions League Final in 4K.

It’s worth noting that some classic movies, such as Rocky, Trainspotting and Tom and Jerry, have been brought back to life in 4K, created by running the old analogue masters through digital scanners, so you can look forward to the best viewing experience.

By combining your 4K TV with 4K content, you are guaranteed to get a picture that is 4X the detail of Full HD.

Watch TV in Ultra HD 

Ultra high definition (UHD) is a derivation of 4K, with 4K being a professional production and cinema standard, while UHD provides a consumer display and broadcast standard.

UHD is a step up from HD, and most 4K televisions will have it. The benefits of the extra pixels in a 4K UHD TV improve the colour and picture, with the bonus of unique features like HDR. 

HDR stands for high dynamic range and is a technique used in photography and films to produce a greater luminosity range than standard digital techniques.
