TV technology has evolved over the years. There was high-definition at 720p and then 1080p. Recent advancement has come thick and fast and in some cases might even eclipse existing technologies before they mature. Here is a look at the most recent and most prominent technology to hit the TV:
3D
Avatar made 3D popular and was thought be the next big thing in movie theaters and at home. Sadly, not all movies took to 3D and the ones that did were mostly poor uses of the technology. There are several theories on why 3D failed, but the most believe that it will make a comeback when glassless 3D is a possibility. Still, almost all TV’s have 3D support.
4K/8K
This is the next big thing is basically an increase in the number of pixels on the screen. There are various names for the standard but the most popular (aside from 4K) is UHD (for Ultra High Definition). The resolution of a UHD display is 3840×2160. The problem for 4k is both the lack of content and the fact that people are already talking about 8K. As a result, there are plenty of shopping deals for 4K TVs already.
HDR
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and has the ability to display a much wider spectrum of colors. The goal is a much more realistic depiction of real life on screen. It does this by preserving the details in the brightest and darkest parts of the screen. These details are lost in current TV standards. One thing to look out for is the contrast ratio and brightness on the shopping website when buying an HDR TV.
