Choosing a reliable TV requires a serious approach. The ultimate product quality and customer satisfaction depend on many factors. The main ones are brand, country of manufacture, screen type, parameters and device interface.
Progress cannot be stopped. Less than a century has passed from TVs in the form of a huge box with black and white images without sound to today's "smart" devices. Sometimes people do not have time to follow the new products released in the field of technology, and a trip to the store to buy a TV ends with bewilderment from the number of products offered. How not to get confused here?
Which brand is more reliable
Naturally, it is better to choose a product from a company that has proven itself in this industry, for example, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung. But at the same time, usually the price-quality combination for different manufacturers is approximately the same. That is, for the amount you expect to fit into, you can purchase different TVs, their reliability will be approximately at the same level.
We must not forget about the warranty period for products. In some cases, it reaches 3-5 years. This gives you a certain amount of confidence that the purchase will not disappoint you in the future.
Liquid crystal or plasma?
Here the choice is up to the buyer. Advantages of LCD screens:
- relatively low cost;
- big choice.
The disadvantages of LCD TVs are that they have a delicate plastic coating that you don't want to touch while the device is in operation and when it is turned off. Even minimized mechanical stress can ruin the appearance of the monitor.
Plasma panels, advantages:
- high quality of the transmitted picture;
- brightness of colors.
Disadvantages of LCD panels:
- high power consumption;
- low brightness and contrast in rooms with sunlight.
Brightness, viewing angle and contrast of the TV
The brightness depends on how comfortable you can watch TV in various light conditions (for bright rooms, it is recommended to choose a device with parameters 450-500 cd / m2).
The viewing angle is responsible for how complete the picture will be at different angles - if you plan to watch TV not alone, then the angle should be more than 180 degrees.
Modern LCD TVs have a dynamic contrast ratio function, i.e. the device automatically selects the optimal solution according to the ratio of light and dark points.
Matrix resolution
The working resolution is indicated in 2 digits. The first is the number of pixels in width, the second is in the height of the monitor. A higher matrix resolution corresponds to a sharper image.
The advantage of a Full HD TV will be a high-quality picture, as well as the ability to watch channels in HD quality and Blu-ray discs. It is provided with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Driving dynamics
When watching the dynamic moments of the film, the difference in movement between the TV, which has a response of more than 8 milliseconds, and the same parameter, less than 5 milliseconds, will be obvious. The lower the response time of the pixels in the device, the higher the dynamics of movement, the faster the transparency of each of the pixels changes, without losing quality.
Smart TV
For buyers who are going to use their device not only as a standard TV signal receiver, but also to watch videos and photos from a camera, Internet connections, computer games, it is better to look at products with digital connectors that allow you to connect to a computer, as well as those with connectors for flesh media.
You must be confident in the reliability of the place where you make your purchase. In the case of an online store, before paying for an item, read the forums about this site.
When using a new TV, make sure that your voltage stabilizer is of good quality, because the warranty will not save you from things damaged by your fault.
