DATE: 25 January, 2018 // BACK TO ARCHIVE »
With TV becoming ever more stylish, cinematic and complex, having a home entertainment system that does your favourite shows justice is more important than ever. If you’re still making do with a bulky old TV set, poor sound quality and dull colours, now’s the perfect time to upgrade your viewing experience and bring your home cinema system into the 21st century.
To help you pick the perfect TV for your family, and take your TV watching to the next level, here’s our quick guide to the latest terms and innovations.
4K
If you feel like the images on your TV are missing out crucial detail, colour and contours, a move to a higher definition screen could transform your viewing experience. You’ve probably seen initials like HD, UHD and 4K about when you’ve been shopping for a TV. Knowing the difference between these terms will help you find the TV set that’s right for you.
A 4K TV screen boasts an astounding resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. That’s more than eight million pixels in total, a whopping four times more than standard HD. This super high resolution ensures you’ll see everything in crystal clear detail, with colour, depth of field and focus all pin sharp. As there’s so much detail contained in a 4K screen, you’ll need a TV that’s at least 40-inches in order to appreciate it properly.
Amazon Fire
Though there is a fantastic choice of streaming services now available, Amazon Fire is one of the easiest to set up. A streaming media player, the Amazon Fire Box takes content from the internet and streams it straight to your TV screen.
Once set up, you’ll be able to watch a huge variety of TV shows and movies, plus you’ll be able to play games, get the latest news headlines and stream your favourite audio tracks.
Audio systems
Now you’ve got your super high resolution TV and your state of the art streaming service, it’s time to find an audio system to match. A number of wireless speaker systems are now on the market, allowing you to place speakers around your living room to give you complete audio coverage.
Some speaker systems also allow you to connect you smartphone or mp3 player directly, allowing you to stream your music throughout your home.
