The so-called "Language gradually appealing to the eye", "I do not understand, is that the world changes quickly." . . Since the flat-panel TVs entered the LED era, the frequency of replacement of television technology has begun to increase dramatically, and many consumers who are not familiar with flat-panel TVs have also been confused by various terms and concepts that are plentiful in the market. We are dedicated to helping consumers understand the product, especially enumerating several important parameters and concepts common to mainstream flat-panel TVs on the market, so that the majority of netizens can have a simple understanding and not be fooled.

LED TV




The concept of "LED TV" is not new anymore. The reason why it is still called out is because the name itself is a mistake. Strictly speaking, "LED TV" should be called "flat-panel TV with LED backlight." Only in the original (LCD) flat-panel TV technology, the backlight is replaced with an LED light source, which is more energy-efficient and lighter, and has not been significantly optimized for image quality.
The so-called "LED TV" is already a technology that has been widely used for a long time. Therefore, if you want to buy a flat-panel TV that is not yet a "LED TV," then you can still sleep.

3D
In fact, 3D technology seems to gradually withdraw from the mainstream of flat-panel TVs. Currently, major TV manufacturers have no longer focused on describing 3D video playback when new products are launched. Some new products even no longer support 3D video. The situation is mainly due to the fact that the actual experience of 3D video on TV has not yet reached the desired effect.
Of course, although many manufacturers no longer promote 3D video playback, it is still the standard feature of most mainstream TVs at this stage. If you still want to use early adopters, you can pay special attention to this feature.

Smart TVs Smart TVs are now the mainstream television technology. The full-scale intelligentization of flat-panel TVs is already an unstoppable trend. Smart TV adopts a smart operating system that can install applications, games, on-demand video resources, and some even support voice control and gesture control.
Currently, mainstream smart TV systems are roughly divided into Android systems based on domestic brands, and private systems (such as Tizen and webOS systems) dominated by foreign brands. It should be noted here that at present, many domestic televisions have deeply customized the system, but in the final analysis, they are all based on the Android system.
The advantage of Android is that the relevant applications have a large amount of memory. Many applications can directly port and optimize the application of Android phones into TV applications, which greatly improves the playability of Android smart TVs. The foreign brands' own systems, because most of them use closed systems, have more advantages in system security, and basically do not need to worry about the problems that may arise in the future for smart TV viruses. At the same time, they seamlessly connect other products of the same brand. It is also easier.

4K Ultra High Definition TV 4K Ultra High Definition TV, in the simplest terms, is a TV with a screen resolution of 38,402,160 pixels. This is a hard indicator. When Full HD was not yet available, it was “1080i” everywhere in hypermarkets. With the "1080P" logo, I don't know how many consumers confused the mess. Fortunately, from the full HD resolution of 1920,1080 pixels to the ultra-high definition resolution of 38,402,160 pixels, no "2160i" or the like appears on the market. the concept of.
4K ultra-high definition resolution is one of the most mainstream television technologies at present, and the doubled resolution can greatly increase the sharpness of the TV picture, make the details of the picture more exquisite, and become more obvious in the larger screen TV. Of course, In the current extreme lack of 4K sources, if you consider the purchase budget and do not want to buy a large-screen TV, then buy a full-HD TV is also not a bad idea.

OLED TVs OLED TVs have some special features. From the technical point of view, because the screens of OLED TVs use self-luminous organic materials, they completely get rid of the backlight module, making the screen light and thin even if it can now be described as “amazing”. The reporter thinks it is no exaggeration to call it "artwork." At the same time, compared with ordinary flat-panel TVs, OLED TVs have also been greatly improved in terms of the color performance of the screen, ie, they are clear and full without rendering transitions.
However, since there are so many benefits, why is OLED TV not yet popularized? The main reason is "expensive." Due to the current technical reasons, although reporters have used the word “amazing” to describe the impression of OLED TVs, its high production cost has caused the OLED TV's price to remain high, which has become a bottleneck for mass popularization. . However, with the gradual innovation of technology, OLED TVs may become mainstream products in the television market after several years.

Curved TV
Curved TV, as its name suggests, is relative to flat-panel TVs, curved TV has changed the flat-panel TV screen we have long been used to, allowing the screen to form a certain arc, imitating the IMAX theater screen design, to create a wraparound visual experience for the viewer.
Curved TVs were introduced to the market last year. In 2015, they increased their efforts to occupy the market. Many front-line TV brands have their own curved TVs sold. Of course, for a TV technology that is relatively new at present, the market price of curved TV is higher than that of a flat panel TV with the same brand. The reporter suggests that if you like new tastes and budgets are sufficient, you may consider choosing large-size curved surfaces. TV.

Quantum TV
Quantum-dot TV is a TV technology just launched in 2015. Quantum-dot TV can be said to be a new generation of alternative technology to LED TVs. It replaces LED-backlit screens, and it can match the performance of OLED TVs in color performance. The promotion helps a lot.
Quantum dot technology is an emerging technology in the TV industry. However, domestic brands are following up quickly. There is a high demand for picture quality that can focus on television products with this technology. With 4K ultra-high definition resolution, detailed performance and color can be achieved. Performance improves synchronously.


to sum up:
The above are several concepts that can often be seen in the market. If you want to experience the latest technology and better picture quality, you can consider 4K Ultra High Definition TV, OLED TV, curved TV, Quantum Dot TV; if you don’t feel new technology Interest is like buying an affordable and practical TV, but at least it must also choose LED TVs and smart TVs.
