How to choose a 4K TV

  • Diagonal... The SMPTE-promoted formula for calculating screen size is the distance to the device divided by one and a half. Thus, if you are watching a movie at a distance of about 2 meters from the TV, then you will need a diagonal of 49-55 inches. But this is only a recommendation, and the exact choice depends on the needs.
  • Matrix... Determines the image quality and the viewing experience of the content. Classic models are based on LCD panels. The most popular technology, and the most profitable at the price. LCD panels are IPS and VA, with the former being more common in LG products, and the latter in Samsung. The latter are also promoting QLED matrices. And this is not the usual OLED under a different name, but a completely new technology, which uses an additional layer with quantum dots.
  • HDR... A technology found in all 4K models. But in some TVs, it is present only for show, since the device does not offer the required margin of brightness. Others offer support for improved standards to ensure an even more immersive gaming and movie experience (subject to content, of course).
  • Backlight... It is not found in OLED TVs, because each pixel glows separately there. But ordinary LED panels can be equipped with two types of backlighting: Direct and Edge. The second is contour, and the diodes in it are located from the bottom or from the side. The second is the straight line. Because of this, the body becomes thicker, but with Direct, more uniform illumination and local control of its zones are possible.
  • Interfaces... It all depends on your needs. If the house has both PlayStation and Xbox, and in addition to TV you plan to connect a soundbar or computer, then you need to look closely at solutions where there are 3 or even 4 HDMI inputs. An important point is the ports version. So, you can output 4K images only through HDMI 2.0, and you can only achieve a picture display at this resolution with a frequency of 100 frames and higher on version 2.1, which is available only in modern models.
  • System... For most users, the capabilities of Tizen or webOS are enough. If you need more features, including installing games from Google Play, then you need a model based on Android TV, which are found, for example, from the Sony brand. However, if you like the TV in everything except the system, then the problem can always be solved by purchasing a set-top box with suitable functionality.
