LED HDTV's "Brucer Picks"
Three most important
https://www.cnet.com/topics/tvs/buying-guide/
1. Ignore (most of) the specifications
·
Contrast ratio is usually
bunk (when
it's listed at all).
·
Refresh rate (60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz, etc.) is complex
and ultimately subjective (when
it's not inflated
on a 4K TV).
·
Seemingly numbers like "Clear Motion Rate," "TruMotion,"
MotionFlow," SPS" and the rest are fake.
·
Viewing angles for LCD and LED-backlit
LCD TVs are
made-up, and LED
does not mean a better picture,
whether or not it it's augmented by Quantum
Dots or Triluminos.
·
And while we're at it, all
HDMI cables are the same.
2.
Bigger really is better
3. 4K and HDR are worth considering
·
A 1080p resolution TV with excellent contrast
and color beats a 4K resolution TV with average contrast and
color every time.
·
HDR,
or high dynamic range,
to be the next big thing in TVs.
TV HDR: Expanding the TV's contrast ratio and color palette
to offer a more realistic image than what's possible with
today's HDTVs.
