5 reasons to buy a new TV
1. More images, the same amount of TV
A 55-inch TV you buy now is the same size as a 50-inch TV you bought 8 years ago. The modern technology of a TV takes up less space. That's why TVs have a flat design with thin borders nowadays. If you replace your TV with a new one that's the same size, you'll get much more screen space.
2. A sharper image with more colors
Full HD was the standard for years, but nowadays more and more movies and series are released in 4K UHD. This is 4 times sharper than Full HD, so you can see a lot more details. To enjoy that, you need a 4K televison. Other than the higher resolution, there are other techniques that improve the viewing experience. A QLED TV produces a color volume of 100%, and an OLED TV produces the blackest black.
3. Fast-moving images are even more fluent
Older televisions usually have a 50Hz refresh rate. That means the screen shows 50 images, or frames, per second. Newer televisions often have a 100Hz refresh rate, which means they show 100 images per second. You won't notice the difference when you watch a talk show, but you will if you're watching an action movie or a sports game. Fast-moving images like a tennis player's serve look smoother on a 100Hz screen. This makes your viewing experience extra realistic.
4. Smart TVs are getting smarter and faster
Chances are you can already use your current TV to browse the internet or use apps. That doesn't mean that a new smart TV doesn't add anything. Modern televisions have a better platform and better processors. You won't just get extra functions and apps, but they'll also load faster. The remotes often have special buttons for the smart functions. You can open Netflix or YouTube by pressing one button, so you won't have to navigate through menus.
5. More design and accessory choices
Integrating a TV in your interior is getting easier and easier. The Samsung The Frame TV will display a work of art when you're not watching TV. Philips Ambilight TVs light up the wall with colors you also see on the screen. Other than the design, accessories are more innovative as well. The One Connect Box only needs 1 AV cable to connect to your TV. Many remotes have voice control or allow you to control all devices, like your Blu-ray player.
