Everyone wants to buy a TV so that it is better than that of a neighbor or someone they know. In addition, it must be monofunctional and meet all the requirements of the consumer. So which model is better to buy? Also, which brand do you prefer? Should I buy TVs of popular brands or is it better to pay attention to the new company? We will try to answer these and other questions in the article.

What to look for when choosing

Nowadays, the new TV is not just a box with a blue screen for viewing news. A modern TV turns the room into a small home theater. Therefore, when choosing, it must be borne in mind that he should have good stereo sound and a great image. The choice becomes very difficult when it comes to the model, as well as what the screen should be: liquid crystal or plasma. In addition, it is necessary to determine the size of the diagonal and other functions.

The most common are three types of TVs. Namely:

  • with plasma screen;
  • LCD TV with LCD screen;
  • LED TV.

Of these, the best one right now is the LED TV. Many will wonder, what is worse than a “plasma” and an LCD TV? At the moment, they have already sunk into oblivion, their technologies are outdated and they are already beginning to abandon their production. So what is so good about LED TVs? Their advantages include:

  1. Used LEDs last many times longer. Namely, from thirty to fifty thousand hours.
  2. Image contrast and brightness are much better than previous types of TVs.
  3. They are economical in the consumption of eclectic energy, as well as in weight much lighter than their predecessors.

What to consider when choosing a TV?

First of all, when buying a TV, you need to consider exactly where it will be installed. If the room is small, then the diagonal of the screen should be appropriate. To do this, you can buy a device with a diagonal of 32 inches, 81cm. Watching movies with such a screen is possible from two meters.

For a large room, which is specially equipped for a home theater, a TV with a diagonal of 107 centimeters is recommended. In addition, when playing DVDs or movies in HD-format, a resolution of 1920x1080 (Full HD) is required. They are great for viewing from a long distance, and from a small one.

The second condition that you need to pay attention to is how many frames are played in one second. The clarity and smoothness of the image on the screen depends on this. Therefore, modern manufacturers are creating more and more technologies that increase the number of reproduced frames per second, thereby improving the image.

For example, the technology used by LG is called the Motion Clarity Index, while Samsung has a similar technology called the Clear Motion Rate. At the same time, LG uses three main functions:

  • clarity and naturalness of the image is achieved using the backlight LG Backlight Scanning;
  • uses local dimming LG Local Dimming;
  • image enhancement is done using the XD Engine processor.

The number of frames that is reproduced in one second is measured in HZ. This value means that a person sees the image as he would if he had shown the TV with the appropriate frequency. It should be noted that the flickering of light by the human eye can be seen only at a frequency of up to fifty HZ.

The third condition to consider is which connectors are needed. Nowadays, you can connect to the TV not only the antenna, but also various devices, such as a player and even a computer. For this we need the connectors:

  • HDMI
  • DVI
  • USB
  • component input;
  • composite input;
  • SCART
  • analog output for stereo sound transmission;
  • antenna input for receiving terrestrial analogue channels.

In modern models, there are many other functions, such as:

  • thanks to the built-in browser, you can watch videos from YouTube, watch movies directly from the official site, go to social networks, and many additional features;
  • in addition, TVs in 3D format began to appear on the market. And when choosing this type, you must remember that the diagonal of the screen should be large. Quality movie viewing depends on it. The larger the screen, the more realistic the image.

But if you decide to buy a TV, you must also consider the size of your wallet. And then look at other factors that characterize the purchase.

"Chips" from manufacturers

You must also know that you can buy a TV with active 3D glasses, as well as passive ones. The ability to view the image depends on this.

  1. When viewing it using active 3D glasses, the viewing angle can be varied. In this case, the 3D effect is not lost.
  2. Using passive 3D glasses, watching a movie is only possible with direct viewing, as the image does not flicker. But they are much more comfortable and do not irritate the eyes.

Another good opportunity have modern TVs. And this is the built-in USB connector. Now viewing photos or videos is possible without connecting players - just plug in a flash drive.

An important know-how are televisions that no longer need control panels. They work through voice commands or gestures. To do this, they have a microphone and a camera mounted, and this miracle of technology is controlled using the Smart TV function. But in order to use this function, it must first be activated and set in such a way that, in case of involuntary movements, it does not begin to switch and even turn off while watching a movie or your favorite TV show.
