21st century - a century of technology. Today, one can hardly surprise anyone by showing even a TV that supports 3D format. But the time has come for 2160p TVs. They are undeniably expensive in price, but they have high characteristics of color rendering, contrast and brightness. Another feature of such devices is the presence of a large number of pixels, which gives a clear and high-quality picture, which is accompanied by high-quality sound. Which is better to choose a TV? Indeed, in 2018, the choice of models is simply huge and deciding which one to take is quite difficult.
Today we’ll talk about the best types of TVs with a resolution of 4K, about what you need to pay attention to when choosing such a device and about the features of this type.
To begin with, all products with a resolution of 2160p are the newest look to date. Why 4K? It's simple: the horizontal number of pixels is approximately 4000. The main feature of such models is its quality, the minimum of which is 3840 x 2160p.
Compared to Full-HD, 4K TVs provide richer color gamut. Due to the reduced pixel size, the image on the screen becomes as realistic and as detailed as possible.
In addition, the developers improved the frame rate (120 fps), improved color gamut, as well as the depth of gray and dark shades. 4K TVs are capable of reproducing approximately 69 billion different colors.
REFERENCE! In order to fully enjoy watching your favorite series with a resolution of 4K, you need a screen with a diagonal of at least 55 inches. In other cases, it is impossible to notice the superiority of the new format.
Of course, the first thing many buyers pay attention to is price. There are many types of such devices with a resolution of 2160p. Accordingly, price categories also vary. For example, one of the cheapest 4K models “LG 43UK6200” with a diagonal of 42.5 inches will cost you about 30,000 rubles. There are more expensive options, for example, “SONY KD-55AF8”, characterized by a stylish design and screen size, will cost about 200,000 rubles. One buyer left a humorous review on a site selling similar products: “I sold an apartment in Moscow and bought a 4K TV set. Now I live in a cardboard box, but I enjoy a high-quality picture. ”
Dimensions (diagonal) are no less important. For example, if you rent a room with an area of 8 square meters, but by some miracle you have money for such a luxury with a diagonal of 70 inches, you cannot fit it in a small room.
Frequency is the number of screen updates per second. The frequency in hertz (Hz) is measured. It is believed that the frequency norm is 60 Hz. High frequency will be little noticeable by the human eye.
Matrix. The most common matrix is now AMOLED, which is also the highest quality. The quality of the contrast of color schemes and a clear color reproduction depend on the matrix.
Direct or flat screen. In the race for innovation, manufacturers decided to please the world with curved screens. To be honest, such innovations are more inconvenient than useful, however, they are much more expensive. A curved screen must be viewed from a certain point (from the center), otherwise the picture will be distorted. Therefore, watching such a TV with a family or company will be extremely inconvenient.
Another important criterion is sound. Good sound will be another plus. But it is worth noting that a really good and high-quality sound on a TV is very difficult to find. Modern views are very thin and light, so there is no place to place a good sound system. But if you are a lover of good sound and you have an extra couple of hundred thousand rubles with you, do not rush to get upset.
There are special top-end TV models with really great sound. There are such models as a used car, weigh several tens of kilograms and have considerable dimensions. However, when was this a hindrance for true connoisseurs of quality sound?
One of the leading and budget models is “LG 43UJ634V”. The approximate price of such a device is approximately 25,000 rubles. This is what gave him widespread in the world of 4K. At the expense of its price, any average resident of Russia can purchase it. The device supports the HDR 10 standard, which gives it maximum detail in modern games and movies. Model “LG 43UJ634V” does not boast of sound among its counterparts, because it is equipped with two front speakers of 10 watts each. But in terms of price-quality ratio, products exceed most of these types.
“Samsung UE43MU6100U” is another budget option from the 4K category, the price of which is about 40,000 rubles. This product boasts a stylish design, AMOLED matrix and quite loud speakers, thanks to which it is not necessary to use external speakers. The device instantly responds to remote control signals, has an excellent picture and good sound, as well as a large number of ports and HDR support. Of the minuses, we can highlight only the lack of a headphone jack, but hardly anyone is using them when watching TV.
The model “LG 43UJ740V” has a high-quality and stylish appearance. This is ideal for those who like to play console and video games. The device has as many as 4 HDMI ports. Due to the fact that this type has light sensors in the room, you do not need to constantly adjust the brightness of the screen. The device will do everything for you.
IMPORTANT! Despite all the advantages of this product, its price is about 42,000 rubles, which makes it another leading and budget option among other models.
If you still decide to buy a 4K TV, here are a couple of tips:
- When choosing a new device, it is recommended to take a USB flash drive with high-quality videos. Often, sellers specifically spoil a video clip on cheap products, thereby forcing us to buy a more expensive one.
- Carefully read reviews from real buyers before buying. It happens that reviews on store websites are fake. Calculating cheaters is very simple. Firstly, most often fake reviews are of the same type. And secondly, you can always talk with a real buyer and learn about the product in more detail.
- When choosing a new TV, pay attention to the price-quality ratio, and not just the brand name. Famous brands have 30% of their price due to a well-known manufacturer. Do not forget about lesser-known manufacturers, whose price is lower, but the quality is the same.
Should I buy 2160p TVs today? Our answer is no. This format has just begun to develop and will remain one of the leading technologies for the coming years. However, to purchase a device of this format, while spending a considerable amount of money, is not necessary. High resolution, high-quality picture, clear color shades and detail - this, of course, is great, but think for yourself: in the near future the number of products will increase significantly, and the price for them will decrease.
