Understanding the different aspects of a television screen
While television screens have come a long way in terms of technology and the way videos are displayed, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding TV screens and their various aspects among TV users. The vast number of features and types of television screens can be confusing at times.
So, if you are planning to buy a new television and are overwhelmed by the options available, here are some aspects related to a TV screen, which you can consider when shopping for a new television.
Consider the size
Irrespective of what your television needs are, one of the main factors you need to determine is the screen size.
Screen resolution
Televisions are now available in a number of resolution options. If you are a new buyer who is not so tech savvy, you may get confused with all the various terminologies used as well.
Refresh rate
Another aspect of the TV screen that you should consider is the refresh rate. This refers to the number of times a picture is refreshed within a second. This is measured in hertz and 60 Hertz (Hz) is the standard rate. 60 Hz denotes the refreshment of picture s60 times within a second. You can go for a television, which has a refresh rate of 120 Hz or 240 Hz. Do not get confused with terms like effective refresh rate, as it does not denote the actual refresh rate but the double of it. So, the actual refresh rate would be half of what is stated, if the term ‘effective refresh rate’ is used.
Make sure you do your homework about TV screens well before you step out to shop for a new television. You can always ask the sales representative to clear the differences between the various screen features. As there are a number of brands offering flat screen televisions with an array of attractive features now, make sure to compare the models of different brands to find the right TV for you.
