How to choose a TV: several important amendments to the general rules – 3DNews

Guides on TV a year ago today, better not read for the 2014 progress not just stepped, he jerked forward. Start, perhaps, is with the fact that the plasma into oblivion. Many manufacturers have abandoned the release of plasma TVs due to unprofitability of production and the availability of a promising technology: It all began with Panasonic, by mid-year to completely stop production, then its latest plasma TVs released LG and Samsung. Because if planning to purchase a plasma rush to the shops, while still on the shelves of anything left.

Matrix type

LED LCD TV now occupy most part of the market: LCDs are equipped with LED backlight, depending on the type of which is possible to achieve better contrast, color (only in models with RGB-LEDs), reducing the thickness of the panel (only models with the end LED-backlit), and low power consumption. Such models are compared with manufactured by other technologies, is not so expensive, and manufacturers provide a wide enough choice. LED LCD – the market is not new, but for 2014, this technology has appeared in more models and increased its demand.

OLED also began to produce active. These TVs are much more expensive than LED LCD, but there are several good reasons. Firstly, it is more subtle and more color models: the average thickness of OLED TV is 5-8 mm, and more LG released two years 4-mm model with a diagonal of 55 inches – TV LG 55EA980V. Only OLED-technology is able to convey such a deep black color, and the colors do so saturated. Secondly, it is OLED-TVs – the most “healthy” for the human eye technology: the eye even from a long view does not get tired, and the harm caused by non-compliance with the distance from the panel to the viewer, as compared to other technologies, much less.

By the way, today is OLED-TV holds the title of the best model of the year: a speech about LG 55EC9300 – 55-inch model with a curved display. Price tag passes for 100 thousand rubles – the norm for the category art. For reference, in class LCD-panel TV from the best budget Panasonic – Model TC-AS530 – costs a little more than 22 thousand rubles, while the best-in-class OLED – LG 55EC9300 – worth about 145 thousand.

Resolution

The golden mean when choosing a TV-largest display resolution – is a Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels). Full HD is perfect not only for television programs, but also any other content – games and multimedia.

A popular and expensive novelty – TVs with 4K (3840 × 2160). This does not mean that the image on the screen for only 4K will be 4 times sharper Full HD, but the difference is still visible even to the naked eye (especially on displays with wide screen).

Yes, 4K gives amazing picture, but 4K TVs already have, and 4K content in enough yet. Technology, however, is one of the fastest developing in the world: 4K started rolling in compact cameras and camcorders (eg, Sony Alpha A7S and Sony FDR-AX100E), the function of recording 4K got some high-end smartphones (Samsung Galaxy Note 4, LG G3 ), because the content market 4K media – only a matter of time. But still today 4K broadcast more often to be found except in the base of streaming television.

Plus, the icon of “4K” on the box does not mean that it’s really good technique. Qualitative 4K TV can cost as conventional LCD-panel, because again you have to be ready for a price tag of 80-100 thousand rubles.

3D, IPTV and other add-ons

Streaming TV – the technology of tomorrow. Imagine that any media content that is to be found in the network, is available on your TV, viewing YouTube-videos, programs of individual channels (HBO, for example), as well as movies and cartoons, TV shows of any genre and in any language. Support IPTV – a good thing for those and a set of 150 satellite TV channels limits in the choice of what to edakogo evening look.

In the Russian IPTV already have and significantly increases audience (the latest figures for 2014 have “Independent Television” there has been an increase of 29% of the audience), though, compared to the level of foreign introduction of this technology, we still have to grow and grow.

To view streaming TV in 90% of cases you will need a special device (like a charm Chromecast from Google or a set-top box Apple TV), but in 2014 were issued by TCL models with built Rocu TV.

3D and Smart TV today – the function is no longer considered a privilege only expensive models can be found, and the average TV price segment having data capabilities (eg, Samsung UE-32H6410 and Sony KDL-42W817B – Full HD models smaller and medium format, the value of which does not exceed 30 thousand rubles).

Because buying a TV today, you need to remember that this is not just a “box” to see the evening news – a true multimedia center, which remained just that to learn to use.
