What is a smart TV?

In simple words, a smart TV is an Internet-enabled TV that includes both paid and free streaming apps such as Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix and YouTube. Alternatively, it is also called a connected TV and may provide you with a browser for conventional net surfing aside from implementing games and related applications.

What’s more, when you have a smart TV at home, you need not install a set-top box separately also including Roku or Apple TV etc. But, in case you need a cable TV imperatively, you can get a cable set-top box integrated and connect it to your Television set subsequently.

Coming to its most prominent features, many smart TVs allow the operation of tablet apps along with the Television set to showcase the program manually and regulate the set aside offering a couple of information more.

Types of Smart TVs

Depending on the display technology, a Smart TV can be broadly categorized into three main types, QLED, OLED, and LED.

QLED TV

QLED TVs primarily use light-transmitting diodes and quantum dots to create rich and bright colour lights on the Television set. Compared to LED TVs, these are way better in terms of performance. And the Samsung Smart TV model is a prime example of the QLED TV. They come in medium-price options.

QLED TV

OLED TV

Undoubtedly, OLED TVs are the finest version of smart TV in the market. This type of TV comes with a contrast ratio having bright colours and zed blacks aside offering outstanding picture quality to its users.

Also, the precision in colour formation because it uses natural light-transmitting diodes, results in eye-appealing shades of white, red, blue as well as yellow. And you the best part? OLED TVs don’t need any backlight, so they are considered much slenderer as compared to the LCD or LED models out there.

As a result, more space is saved on the cabinet or wall of your TV, making them seem sleeker when kept against other devices with flat screens such as digital projectors etc. To buy the best OLED TV, LG and Sony are some of the most reliable brands to consider.

LED TV

Nowadays, homeowners are increasingly buying LED TVs over the OLED or QLED models as they are cheaper and are so far the most common variant of smart TV in the market. The slender and sleek screen that it has makes it perfect for binge-watching your favourite shows during the day.

LED TV

Also, it optimizes a backlight that emanates light from behind the screen, getting you an amazing TV viewing experience. At present, Realme, TCL, Onix, Samsung and LG are some of the top brands selling premium LED TVs to their customers.

Things to look for when buying a smart TV

Buying a smart TV takes a great deal of effort and acumen. So, when shopping for your favourite smart tv, make sure you consider the following things.

  • Budget
  • Sound
  • Connectivity Options
  • Refresh Rate
  • Screen Resolution
  • Screen Size and
  • Display Type of the TV

Having said that, let’s break down each of these points for you in detail.

Budget

Before buying the smart TV of your choice don’t forget to set your custom budget first and then move on with your shopping spree. The price options for smart TVs vary greatly as per the variant you have chosen. So, keep that thing in mind.

To the minimum, a smart TV can cost you as low as Rs.10,000 and can stoop up to Rs.3,00000 also. Hence, set a budget and compare the price points that trendy smart TVs come with.

At last, zero in on the option that suits your tailored needs in the best way possible.

Sound

While looking for the audio quality of your smart TV, you need to know one thing. That is the greater the wattage, the louder the sound will be. So, if you live in a big house, installing a smart TV that offers adequate sound must be your choice.

Also, make sure that the sound can travel longer distances within your residence to create a harmonious effect all around.

To assess this aspect properly, you can play a few formidable action scenes first. Subsequently, see whether the sound seems bass for those spine-chilling moments, distorted and thin when set at high volumes aside verifying the details inside as well as the extent to which it sounds realistic.

Besides, also scrutinize things such as a peculiar buzzing sound under pressure, directional distortion and TV cabinet rattle etc. So, if first-rate sound quality is what you are up to, then consider investing in a premium sound system integrated with the desired soundbar.

Connectivity Options

Give thought to your connectivity options for sure when buying a smart TV. Consider the number of HDMI inputs it has while doing so. You can use these ports in many different ways such as adding a game console, Chromecast and soundbar etc.

In case you choose to go for a 4K Ultra-HD effect, the ports that you opt for should also be able to support HDMI 2.0 to accommodate the subsequent Ultra-HD sources. Coming to the present-day scenario, a lot of smart TVs are often integrated with a port that enables the 4K copy protection system also called HDCP 2.2 (high bandwidth digital content protection)

Refresh Rate

The refresh rate of a smart TV is usually evaluated in Hertz (HZ). It depicts the number of times a picture has been refreshed on the screen per second. In general, the standard refresh rate is sixty times per second.

But, when watching scenes with fast-moving objects, a refresh rate of 60 Hz can create a blurry impression on the screen, chiefly on LCD HDTVs. Hence, until recently, manufacturers are striving to enhance their refresh rate to a fairly good extent.

In this context, it is pertinent to mention that models that have emerged in the market anew display a massive High-Frame Rate (HFR) support.

This means they have a greater refresh rate integrated with additional support for content having a frame rate of more than 60 Hz. If gaming is more your thing, then such a refresh rate would suffice. But, make sure you don’t go below the extent of 120 Hz while purchasing a smart TV or else the quality will not be that good.

Screen Resolution

You may wonder what resolution to go for while shopping for the smart TV of your preference. Well, resolution means the number of pixels needed to create the picture on the screen. So, more the pixels, the sharper will be the picture along with more accurate details.

And the way TV manufacturers are shedding light on producing Ultra HD sets evinces that thing. Gone are the days, when HD was the conventional Televisual experience, now 4K HD is the mantra, getting individuals the kind of audio quality they have been looking for.

The former has 4X more pixels as compared to the latest HDTV screens. Also, such smart Televisions display even the smaller objects on the screen with a lot of details and accuracy that too with finer texts.

All in all, the picture quality will be more life-like and richer unlike that of the HDTV encounters. And you know what? With the increasing technological progress, some brands have also come up with 8K Televisions in the market.

Needless to say, LG’s 88-inch Z9 OLED and Samsung’s Q900 8K TV is a prime examples of that. The display each of them has can quadruple the resolution standard at the 4K level, offering an enormous yet eye-appealing picture quality to all their users.

Nevertheless, finding an option that lets you take complete advantage of the higher resolution thing is very intermittent these days.

Screen Size

No matter whether you are buying the most standard TV or a more high-end option, don’t forget to consider the screen size for sure. Also reflect upon aspects such as the area wherein you wish to set your Television or how many family members in your unit watch a particular show at a given point in time.

Subsequently, zero in on your budget as well as the space that caters to your unique needs perfectly. In this context, it is pertinent to mention that the distance you sit at the Television must be three times more than the height of the screen when it comes to HD televisions.

However, in the case of 4K Ultra HD, the same should be 1.5 times more and not beyond that. Should you contemplate sitting close to an exceptionally large screen, go for technology with higher resolution to get the much-needed comfort.

Display Type

Yet another crucial factor to consider, the display type forms the most imperative aspect when buying the smart TV of your preference. Depending on your individual needs, display options of smart TVs can be categorized into QLED, OLED, LEC and LCD.

OLED and LED are much better choices as compared to LCD TVs as the latter has failed to offer the desired picture quality after the arrival of the former. LCDs were an extension of the CRT displays that got a little outdated with time after the QLED, OLED and LED came into being.

So, LED is the new normal as it offers the same LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) effect to its users but with more clarity, thanks to its light-emanating diode. In return, the appearance of your smart TV will seem much slenderer.

And you the best part? LED smart Televisions consume the least energy, hence consumed by most people nowadays.

Furthermore, the QLED is a way better version of the LED technology that uses quantum dots and is integrated with coloured lights, taking your Televisual encounter a notch higher. Quantum dots are a type of semiconductor that forms an imperative part of any QLED television nowadays.

So, as a result, you can expect a great deal of brightness and colour on your Television screen than before. However, these smart TVs are a little on the pricier side, so keep that factor in mind.

OLED is another advanced form of technology that smart TV manufacturers are widely using nowadays. Such televisions often emit out light when the current is passed through, resulting in a brighter and more effervescent televisual experience than before.

So, if budget is not a factor, then OLEDs or QLEDs can be more your thing or else you can purchase an LED TV as of now to save a couple of bucks.
