Which 4k TV to choose?

The 21st century is the century of technology. Today it is hardly possible to surprise anyone by even showing a TV that supports 3D format. But the time has come for 2160p TVs. They are undoubtedly expensive in price, but have high color rendering, contrast and brightness characteristics. Another feature of such devices is the presence of a large number of pixels, which gives a clear and high-quality picture, which is accompanied by high-quality sound. Which TV is better to choose? Indeed, in 2018 the choice of models is simply huge and it’s quite difficult to decide which one to take.

Today we will talk about the best types of 4K TVs, what you need to pay attention to when choosing such a device, and the features of this type.

Features of 4K TVs

To begin with, all 2160p productions are the newest look available today. Why 4K? It's simple: the number of pixels horizontally on the screen is approximately 4000. The main feature of such models is its quality, the minimum of which is 3840 x 2160p.

Compared to Full-HD TVs, 4K TVs provide a richer color gamut. Due to the reduced pixel sizes, the picture on the screen becomes as realistic as possible and as detailed as possible.

In addition, the developers have improved the frame rate (120 fps), improved the color gamut, as well as the depth of gray and dark shades. 4K TVs are capable of producing approximately 69 billion different colors.

REFERENCE! To fully enjoy watching your favorite series in 4K resolution, you need a screen with a diagonal of at least 55 inches. In other cases, it is impossible to notice the superiority of the new format.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a 4K TV?

Of course, the first thing many buyers pay attention to is the price. There are many types of similar devices with a resolution of 2160p. Accordingly, price categories also differ. For example, one of the cheapest 4K models “LG 43UK6200” with a diagonal of 42.5 inches will cost you about 30,000 rubles. There are also more expensive options, for example, “SONY KD-55AF8”, which has a stylish design and screen diagonal, will cost about 200,000 rubles. One buyer left a humorous review on a website selling similar products: “I sold an apartment in Moscow and bought a 4K TV set. Now I live in a cardboard box, but I enjoy the high-quality picture.”

Dimensions (diagonal) are no less important. For example, if you rent a room with an area of ​​8 square meters, but by some miracle you have the money for such a luxury with a diagonal of 70 inches, you will not be able to fit it in a small room.

Frequency is the number of times the image on the screen is updated in one second. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is believed that the frequency norm is 60 Hz. A high frequency will be little noticeable to the human eye.

Matrix. The most common matrix now is AMOLED, which is also the highest quality.The quality of color contrast and clear color reproduction depend on the matrix.

Straight or flat screen. In the race for innovation, manufacturers decided to please the world with curved screens. To be honest, such innovations bring more inconvenience than benefit, however, they are much more expensive. A curved screen must be viewed from a certain point (the center), otherwise the picture will be distorted. Therefore, watching such TV with your family or company will be extremely inconvenient.

Another important criterion is sound. Good sound will be another advantage of the new product. But it is worth noting that truly good and high-quality sound on a TV is very difficult to find. Modern types are very thin and light, so there is no room to accommodate a good sound system. But if you are a lover of good sound and you have an extra couple of hundred thousand rubles on you, do not rush to get upset.

There are special top-end TV models with truly excellent sound. Such models cost as much as a used car, weigh several tens of kilograms and have considerable dimensions. However, when has this been a hindrance for true connoisseurs of high-quality sound?

Good quality models

One of the leading and budget models is “LG 43UJ634V”. The approximate price of such a device is approximately 25,000 rubles. This is what has given it widespread adoption in the 4K world. Due to its price, any average resident of Russia can purchase it. The device supports the HDR 10 standard, which gives it maximum detail in modern games and movies. The “LG 43UJ634V” model does not boast of sound among its peers, because it is equipped with two front speakers of 10 W each. But in terms of price-quality ratio, the products are superior to most similar types.

“Samsung UE43MU6100U” is another budget option from the 4K category, the price of which is about 40,000 rubles. This product boasts a stylish design, an AMOLED matrix and loud enough speakers, thanks to which it is not necessary to use external acoustics. The device instantly responds to remote control signals, has an excellent picture and good sound, as well as a large number of ports and HDR support. The only downside is the lack of a headphone jack, but it’s unlikely that anyone uses them when watching TV now.

The “LG 43UJ740V” model has a high-quality and stylish appearance. This is an ideal option for those who love to play consoles and video games. The device has as many as 4 HDMI ports. Due to the fact that this type has indoor light sensors, you do not need to constantly adjust the screen brightness. The device will do everything for you.

IMPORTANT! Despite all the advantages of this product, its price is about 42,000 rubles, which makes it another leading and budget option among other models.

Recommendations for purchase

If you decide to buy a 4K TV, here are a couple of tips:

1. When choosing a new device, it is recommended to take a flash drive with high-quality videos with you. Often, sellers deliberately spoil the video of cheap products, thereby forcing us to buy more expensive ones.
2. Carefully read reviews from real customers before purchasing. It happens that reviews on store websites are fake. It is very easy to spot deceivers. Firstly, most often fake reviews are of the same type. And secondly, you can always communicate with a real buyer and learn about the product in more detail.
3. When choosing a new TV, pay attention to the price-quality ratio, and not just the brand name. Well-known brands have 30% of their price at the expense of a well-known manufacturer. Don’t forget about lesser-known manufacturers, whose price is lower but the quality is the same.

Should you buy 2160p TVs today? Our answer is no. This format has just begun to develop and will remain one of the leading technologies for the coming years. However, it is not at all necessary to purchase a device of this format and spend a considerable amount of money. High resolution, high-quality images, clear color shades and detail are, of course, great, but think for yourself: in the near future the number of products produced will increase significantly, and the price for them will decrease.
