Everything you need to know before buying a 4K TV
What is 4K?
It designates a resolution, which is the number of color pixels displayed by the TV screen.
A 4K TV thus means that the device displays, in width, at least 3840 pixels.
Some TV models display more.
First used by digital cinema, this technology is now aimed at the general public.
What is a 4K Smart TV?
4K TVs are often Smart TVs, but that name is unrelated to resolution.
A Smart TV is a flat screen including services using an Internet connection.
On these TVs, we find video on demand (VOD) or music services, but also wireless broadcasting methods.
In addition, Smart TVs can download various free applications.
What type of panel to choose for your 4K TV?
LED, QLED, OLED ... Manufacturers have multiplied the technologies specific to televisions.
Each of these technologies has specific disadvantages and advantages.
OLED technology, for example, can display superb contrast, but most often does not have an anti-glare filter.
It is therefore important to learn about the technology used by your television.
How do you connect a 4K TV?
Today, the most common connection on 4K TVs is HDMI.
This will allow the television to be connected to many other devices, such as a box or even a games console.
But 4K TVs also have other connections, such as coaxial, optical or YUV sockets.
