2023 TV shopping hot spot analysis: no IQ tax after watching

As the most important part of the current TV ecosystem, various new functions/technologies have become important selling points of major TV manufacturers. So, can these TV technologies really bring about a breakthrough improvement in picture quality or a new audio-visual experience for users? In view of the hot spots of TV market in 2023, let's take a look at these emerging technologies, whether they are good for innovative experience or expensive stacking products.

1. Do you really need a high screen?

since PS5 Since the launch of two next-generation consoles, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series X, this trend of "high brush" in the TV market has become popular. Is a TV with a refresh rate of 120Hz or higher a good product for innovative experience, or is it an expensive stacking product? In my opinion, if you are not a heavy host player, this high screen is dispensable.

If you just watch movies, there are few high frame rate movies at this stage, and most movie sources are basically 24 to 60 frames. In order to experience high frame rate video, we can only rely on the MEMC algorithm, which is called frame insertion, so this is a test of the technical strength of TV manufacturers. Behind the output of a frame is a series of programs such as chip decoding, calculation, optimization, etc. If there is any vacancy in the TV's internal adjustment, flickering, tearing, or even serious shadow dragging of the picture may cause trouble.

Of course, if you buy a TV to play games, we need to pay attention to whether the TV is equipped with HDMI 2.1 interface. Because the bandwidth of HDMI2.0 is small, it can only support up to 4K60Hz. If you want to transmit 4K120Hz, you must use HDMI2.1 interface.

2. The more hardware cores, the better

TV computing and processing all rely on its "host" part, that is, the core hardware to complete. High configuration hardware can handle various tasks more quickly, realizing high-speed response and smooth operation of TV. If the hardware configuration is poor, the operation of the intelligent system will be very slow, and the operation will often get stuck, which will greatly affect the user experience.

Therefore, many people believe that the simplest and most effective way to judge TV performance is to look at the number of hardware processor cores. The larger the number of processor cores, the stronger the processing ability.

Therefore, we can often see such words as "eight cores" and "ten cores" advertised in the market. According to the experience of computer, mobile phone and other industries, the number of unsigned cores often refers to the number of CPU cores by default. If it is the number of image processor GPU (graphics card) cores, it is usually signed in front. Therefore, in the eyes of people outside the industry, "eight cores" and "ten cores" refer to the number of CPU cores. In fact, a closer look at the TV parameters shows that the number of cores here refers to the sum of the number of CPU and GPU cores. Some TVs also add VPU recharge, and the final number of cores refers to CPU+GPU+VPU. When we buy a TV, we must understand what the core quantity advertised by the manufacturer means, and do not be confused by the aggregated data.

three Blind expansion of functions

Nowadays, the function of TV is constantly expanding, and manufacturers' positioning of TV is no longer limited to the tools for watching movies, but more an intelligent terminal, or even the control center of smart home. However, for many users, as long as they can watch TV shows and movies, such as online shopping, text news reading, cloud games and other functions, the experience of TV can never be compared with that of mobile phones and computers.

It can even be said that in the development process of smart TV, it is not to improve the user experience, but to expand its functions blindly. At the beginning of the rise of smart TV, it only has the ability to watch online videos and browse online“ Internet TV ”Our products have very few functions. We can only watch online videos and browse on the Internet. We don't even have a complete intelligent system. However, in terms of use functions, the original IPTV is the most suitable for users.

The functions of smart TV are constantly enriched, but the system of smart TV also increases the complexity of operation, which is absolutely a blow to the elderly and children. The vast majority of televisions are developed based on the Android system. Many very basic controls on mobile phones will be extremely troublesome on televisions. Moreover, the chip capability of TV is far less than that of mobile phones, so TV has been used for a long time, the fluency is not enough, and the "stuck" phenomenon is inevitable, and it is torture to use it.

four TV below 10000 yuan has nothing to do with HDR

HDR technology has been a hot spot in the TV market since its appearance, and 2021 is no exception. However, after so many years of popularization, many small white users will still be fooled. In fact, most of the HDR TVs on the market are "fake HDR". Because the hard parameters can not meet the HDR certification standards at all, "fake HDR TV" can not achieve the obvious improvement effect in advertising films. Except for high-end products, HDR has little effect on image quality. In addition, HDR is a video format like 4K, and its movie sources can be said to be very few, and only a few demo movie sources are just a few minutes.

Most low-cost HDR TVs can only decode and play, and the improvement of picture effect is almost zero. If we want to purchase products that can demonstrate HDR capabilities, we should pay attention to the following two points.

First of all, HDR content is produced with a high dynamic range. High brightness is conducive to showing more details of bright parts. Many originally bright or dark details can also be shown well. Therefore, a qualified HDR TV must first have high brightness. Secondly, for liquid crystal or quantum dot TV, it also needs outstanding light control technology and dark detail processing ability. If you blindly pursue pure black and sacrifice dark details, obviously HDR technology cannot be used.

HDR content is produced according to the standards of high brightness and high dynamic range. It pursues a picture that meets the needs of the human eye. Therefore, when selecting HDR TV, attention should be paid to the characteristics such as peak brightness and dynamic range. Only qualified HDR TV can meet the standards. Facts have proved that HDR technology is good, but the starting point is also high. Therefore, you can ignore this parameter when choosing, unless you choose high-end products.

Write at the end:

If you read this article carefully, I believe you will have a more comprehensive understanding of how to purchase TV and from what angles. TV is not a fast moving consumer goods, so you should make rational analysis when purchasing. As users themselves, they often follow the trend blindly, and they buy it in a muddle headed way and finally find that they don't like it. There is no best TV, only the most suitable TV, according to their actual needs to buy a suitable one, is the best.
