Smart TVs are on the podium of electronic devices with the highest demand. If a year of World Cup, great Hot Sale promotions and free shipping are added to the equation, the big concern is not to get caught up for the sales line. On this note, what is The 5 main aspects to buying a television for the next 7 years.

During times of large auctions, many manufacturers take the opportunity to sell at the price of old equipment that has been in its boxes for several years. Although it seems tempting, if the price is less than 50 thousand pesos, you have to trust.

As with smartphones, the cheapest is not always the best choice. Because the point of its obsolescence – associated with low internal capacity, no software updates, problems adding new applications and connections – is set at three years.

Next, the five items that most affect the changing economy: the screen resolution, the type of processor it uses, the panels, the operating system it runs and the sound technology it handles.

Resolution

This is a term that indicates how thick the pixels are packed on the screen to form the image. The higher the number of these points, the higher the quality.

The current resolution on televisions is 4K or Ultra HD which generates 3,840 by 2,160 pixel frames. While the size considered standard is 50 inches. The price of a base model starting at 70 thousand pesos.

The technological threshold is set on Full HD televisions, which have four times lower resolution than 4K and have been in retreat for 10 years. They are rotating models the 50 thousand pesos.

If we add some enhancements such as HDR (high dynamic range) a technique that expresses details in the content, both in very bright scenes and in very dark scenes. It offers a more natural and realistic image output even with a wide range of contrasts, the price will be 90 thousand pesos.

The next step in the evolutionary chain is 8K, which has four times more pixels than UHD and its price -as is the case with the 75 “Samsung Neo QLED- which costs 999 thousand pesos.

Processor

It is present in teams already exceed 90 thousand pesos. This is an important piece because it graduates with resolution dimensions, HDR content management, color accuracy and makes the transition between one scene and another regular. All elements that define the visual experience.

Another job of the processor is to scale the frames from 64 to 120 per scene. In real time, it checks the quality of the image signal and if it is too low, it reduces noise and adjusts the signal to avoid ghosting, especially in scenes with a lot of action.

These changes are seen in series or films that are over 20 years old, as is the case with The Sopranos. On a conventional television it can be seen as it is broadcast at the time. While these devices make corrections so that it looks rejuvenated and lasting color.

panels

Televisions bet on different screen technologies. The most common are LCDs with LED backlighting – with some derivatives such as Samsung’s QLEDs – and OLEDs.

That a model is LED, OLED or QLED refers to the way in which pixels or color points are illuminated. It is an important thing to assess the image quality and where the biggest price difference is between the televisions.

QLED panels They are an evolution with respect to LEDs, as the pixels can be activated individually, allowing for greater contrast and capture of pure blacks.

instead, the OLEDs they produce their own brightness to control individual brightness, save layers and achieve the lowest thickness of screens. The vision is almost perfect from all angles.

Operating system

Televisions are increasingly complex and need to send multiple orders at once. To organize this ecosystem made up of applications and services, the operating system (OS) will emerge, which makes a difference in user experience, configuration and customization options.

There is no OS that is universal, like Windows on PCs, because each brand adapts an existing system in its own style. This implies that each Smart TV is equipped with an exclusive interface, its own functionalities and an ecosystem of adapted applications.

The four OS running behind these UHD screens are WebOS for LG, Tizen is chosen by Samsung and Philips uses Saphi. The remaining bet is on Android TV, which is owned by Google, which is the most popular.

Among the cheapest televisions simplified operating systems or own, which is static. Indicating that they do not support software downloads, some streaming applications that come with it, come from the factory and are often not updated.

sounds around

A screen with impressive contrast and optimal balance is less usable, if it is combined with a low-resonance sound system. A sign of confidence is that the TV supports Dolby Atmos (DA), which is considered the new industry standard.

This technology offers surround sound in a radius of 360 degrees. The big advantage of DA is that it can use a channel of 128 tracks and coordinate up to 118 sound objects simultaneously. In addition, it detects the number of associated channels and is responsible for the distribution of voices, noise and impact.

To enjoy DA, content must be embedded in this technology. And at the same time, the device that plays it, in this case the television, must be compatible. Both Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney + offer their recent content. When activated, an icon will be displayed warning that you are using this option.
