How not to be mistaken when choosing a TV
Often, TVs fail, their repair is not profitable, the replacement of broken parts is expensive, so the only way out is to buy a new TV. Often, during the acquisition of various questions arise: how to choose what to pay attention to, which models should give their preference? Consider them in more detail.
Screen Specifications
- Screen diagonal. Manufacturers indicate dimensions in inchesIn most cases, you can determine the first two digits that are listed in the model number. 1 inch - 2.55 centimeters, for example, 40 inches = 102 cm.
- Viewing angle. This parameter can be limited, because the matrix of liquid crystal displays is arranged in this way. Budget TVs in particular have a similar disadvantage. The picture quality deteriorates noticeably if the view is from above or below. When viewed from the side, quality distortions are not noticeable.
- Contrast. The parameter determines the brightness of each of the pixels placed on the screen, i.e. contrast bright and darker areas. Higher contrast ratio is better because the image will be clearer and more saturated. Under the standard it is denoted as 1000: 1. In the case when the value of this indicator is minimal, the colors of black shade will simply look gray. Plasma TVs have a greater degree of contrast, as opposed to LCD. But when arose LED backlight - LED, the situation has changed dramatically. The current technology allows you to create a high-contrast image. But each manufacturer uses its own technology development, because of what it may be different. When choosing a TV in the store, you should initially try to change the contrast settings, so you can make the selection of the best model.
- Resolution. The indicator determines the number of pixels vertically and horizontally. The more pixels on the display, the better for image quality. But even if your TV has the ability to reproduce the picture in high resolution, then the video must be appropriate to realize this opportunity.
- Brightness. Image quality directly depends on this criterion. In any case, everyone was faced with the fact that it was necessary to close the windows so that on a sunny day the image on TV could be clearly seen. Our time has simplified everything, because the current technology has a high brightness, because any type of TV has its proper level.
Other options
- Acoustics. This indicator needs considerable attention. After all, standard speakers are not able to convey all the details of the audio stream, in this case you should add a good speaker system to the TV, for example, soundbar. Additional subwoofer connected to TV, allows you to play low frequencies, which is of great importance while listening to audio tracks or watching movies with special effects.
- Communication. It is also important that the TV had exits for transferring data from external drives. You should look to have USB ports, slots for external memory cards, etc.
There are a lot of criteria for choosing home TV, all this must be considered when making a purchase, because further use of home appliances depends on it. Be careful!
