UHD Televisions

Why buy a UHD TV?

The main selling points of UHD televisions are their stunning picture quality, increased colour accuracy, and superior contrast ratios. UHD TVs offer a more immersive experience than traditional HD TVs, with a higher pixel density resulting in sharper images and finer details. They also allow you to sit closer to the screen without sacrificing image quality, making them a good fit for smaller rooms.

Difference between UHD and 4K

Many people wonder what the difference is between UHD and 4K. The truth is that these terms are often used interchangeably, and both refer to TVs with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. However, some people use the term 4K to refer to slightly higher resolution TVs with a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels.

Disadvantages

One potential disadvantage of UHD TVs is that they are more expensive than traditional HD TVs. The quality of the picture on a TV relies on the quality of the input signal and not all content is currently available in UHD which means that you may not always be able to take full advantage of the TV's capabilities.

Buying a UHD TV

Before purchasing a UHD TV, there are several additional specifications you should also consider, such as the size of the screen, the type of panel used (LED vs OLED), the refresh rate and whether or not it has smart features included. Other specs that will affect the overall image quality include the TV’s contrast ratio, colour accuracy, HDR capabilities and viewing angle. For an explanation of these specs, please refer to our televisions category page. If you’re planning to hook the TV up to other devices such as gaming consoles and streaming devices, check it comes with the ports you need for connectivity.
