Results for: Picture Quality

In this episode of You Asked, we tackle common questions related to TV technology, including:

* Is Sony Bravia 9 better than an OLED? While the Bravia 9 may offer impressive brightness and contrast, OLEDs generally provide superior picture quality due to their ability to produce true blacks.

* 4K OLED vs. 8K mini-LED: At most screen sizes, a 4K OLED TV is preferable to an 8K mini-LED LCD TV, especially models like the LG G4 or Samsung S95D. However, factors such as the specific TV models and individual preferences should also be considered.

* Are built-in TV streaming apps better for picture quality? Streaming directly from the TV’s built-in OS does not necessarily offer better picture quality. However, factors like Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ support should be considered. For the best streaming experience, using an external device like the Apple TV 4K is recommended.

* Do people really want accurate TVs? Most people prioritize brightness and vivid colors over absolute accuracy. Accurate TVs can appear dim in brighter environments, leading to a misconception that equates accuracy with dullness.

* LG C3 vs. Hisense U8N: While the LG C3 offers superior picture quality, the Hisense U8K and U8N provide significantly higher brightness, making them more suitable for daytime viewing in common living room settings. The U8K and U8N are also better choices for those who routinely leave their TVs on for extended periods, as OLEDs are susceptible to burn-in.

Buying a new TV can be a daunting task, especially with so many sizes and features to consider. This guide will help you determine the best TV size for your room, seating arrangement, and viewing preferences.

Despite the initial hype, 8K TVs have failed to gain widespread adoption due to several factors. These include limited content, high prices, and the lack of a noticeable difference in picture quality for average consumers. The lack of 8K content is a major concern, as most streaming services and broadcasters primarily offer 4K content. This has led to a chicken-and-egg dilemma, where TV manufacturers are hesitant to invest heavily in 8K production without a sufficient supply of 8K content, while content creators are reluctant to create 8K content without a large enough installed base of 8K TVs.

LG’s 77-inch G2 OLED TV, once the company’s flagship model in 2022, is now available for a significantly discounted price of £3300. Despite being a two-year-old model, this TV offers exceptional picture quality with richer and more expressive bright spots, immaculate shadow detail reproduction, and excellent contrast handling. It also features four HDMI sockets supporting HDR, AI-boosted image upscaling, Dynamic Tone Mapping, and LG’s powerful Alpha 9 Gen 5 processor.
