Key features of the TV

  1. Smart connectivity: Modern TVs include smart features that let you use apps, streaming services, and online content directly. With Wi-Fi, ethernet ports, and Bluetooth, you can easily connect other devices and enjoy a smooth entertainment experience.
  2. High-definition display: TVs are available in HD, Full HD, 4K, and 8K resolutions. Higher resolution means sharper, clearer images. HDR (High Dynamic Range) also improves contrast and colours, making visuals look more realistic.
  3. Advanced audio systems: Many TVs now come with in-built audio technology like Dolby Atmos or DTS for immersive sound. Some models also support external sound systems, letting you set up a home theatre with powerful audio.
  4. Voice control: Voice features allow you to control your TV using commands. With Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, you can search for shows, change settings, or even control smart home devices hands-free.
  5. Gaming features: New TVs include gamer-friendly features like low input lag, high refresh rates, and special gaming modes. These ensure smooth, fast gameplay and a better overall gaming experience.

Sports and action content (less common now)

  1. CRT: CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TVs were once popular before flat screens arrived. They use electron beams to show images and give good colour and angles. They are bulky and have now been replaced by LED and OLED models.
  2. Plasma: Plasma TVs were early flat screens with strong blacks and contrast. They used charged gases to create images. These TVs delivered rich colours but used more energy, and newer LED and OLED models have taken their place.
  3. LCD: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TVs use liquid crystals between glass layers. They are lightweight, affordable, and widely used. They offer good colours and brightness but may not show deep blacks as well as OLED or plasma.
  4. LED: LED (Light Emitting Diode) TVs are improved LCDs that use LED backlighting. They are bright, energy-efficient, slim, and reliable. They are one of the most common TVs today and suit almost every viewing need.
  5. OLED: OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs use organic compounds that light up when powered. They provide perfect blacks, vivid colours, and sharp contrast. They are premium TVs and popular among movie enthusiasts.
  6. QLED: QLED (Quantum Dot LED) TVs enhance LED screens using quantum dots. They produce bright, sharp, and colourful images. They are ideal for bright rooms and are popular with gamers and sports fans.
  7. Mini-LED: Mini-LED TVs use thousands of tiny LEDs for backlighting. This creates deeper blacks and better contrast compared to standard LED TVs. They are energy efficient and a good choice for high-quality viewing at reasonable prices.
  8. Micro-LED: Micro-LED is the newest technology. It works like OLED but with better brightness and durability. It uses tiny LEDs to form images with outstanding contrast and colour. Micro-LED TVs offer top picture quality with no burn-in issues.

Types of smart TVs according to screen sizes

Choosing the right screen size depends on your room and how you use the TV:

  1. 32-inch and below: Best for kitchens, bedrooms, or small flats. Good for casual viewing.
  2. 40 to 49-inch: Ideal for medium rooms and balanced viewing. Suits most living rooms.
  3. 50 to 59-inch: Great for larger rooms and entertainment spaces. Works well with 4K and HDR.
  4. 60 to 69-inch: Perfect for home theatre setups and big living rooms. Offers a cinema-like feel.
  5. 70-inch and above: Designed for very large spaces. Gives a truly immersive and premium experience.
