The 6 Best Ultra HD TV

Table of Contents:

The German technician Paul Nipkow is regarded as the inventor of television. He developed a device with which it was possible to receive and play back television signals. He patented his idea in 1886. The initial flickering of moving images gave the television the colloquial nickname Flimmerkiste. But even long-distance sound cinema, armchair cinema, television set, tube, TV set or matte screen have become known in the course of the history of the television set. The first television sets in black and white reproduced the images only in gradations of grey tones. They were so-called tube devices invented by Karl Ferdinand Braun. In contrast, the later colour televisions worked with the colours blue, green and red. The last tube units were manufactured by Philipps in 2011. The triumphal march of flat screens had already begun 10 years earlier. The advantages of flat-panel televisions lie in their low depth, regardless of the size of the screen. Tube units usually required a construction depth of 60 centimetres. The so-called interlaced method of tube sets could be replaced by a full-screen method for flat-screen televisions. Flat-panel displays have a higher picture resolution and also receive HDTV signals. The disadvantage of flat-panel displays is their sound quality. Sometimes the image impression depends on the viewing angle of the viewer. And many consumers consider the service life of less than 10,000 operating hours to be too short. Since 2005, the worldwide spread of flat screens has been increasing. The components for receiving digitized signals are now integrated. Well-known manufacturers such as Grundig, Telefunken or Nordmende are no longer to be found on the market for televisions. Today German companies such as Löwe, Blaupunkt, Metz, TechniSat and Wortmann have to hold their own against the leading competition from Asia.

Television & Home Cinema: Ultra HD TV Video Guide

The meaning of Ultra HDUltra HD is translated as high-definition video format. The extremely high picture resolution corresponds to four times the value of HDTV. Full HD is replaced by Ultra HD. It also replaces the previous 4K or 4K resolution. Ultra HD quadruples the total number of pixels from 2 to 8 million. Therefore, only with a minimum resolution of 8 million pixels can one speak of Ultra HD. The Sky television channel has announced the first Ultra HD channels. Video-on-demand companies like Netflix offer only a few films so far. One reason for this is the high production costs of Ultra HD films. That’s why consumers keep discussing the question of whether the purchase of an Ultra HD television is worth it at all. But the 4K TVs don’t necessarily need a high-definition film to be used. Based on the data entered, they reliably calculate the existing number of pixels. As a result, image quality is clear and sharp even with fewer pixels. But of course the Ultra HD televisions only show their full potential with at least 8 million pixels. This number of pixels is reached, for example, by image files from the digital camera, which are available in almost every household. Viewing photos on an Ultra HD TV can be a special experience for the whole family. Ultra HD television in comparisonThe best Ultra HD television currently available is the LG G6. The product was presented at the beginning of 2016 at the CES in Las Vegas. The previous problems in the sound quality are solved by LG through a special sound bar, which is included in the scope of delivery. It enables clear and clean voice reproduction. This new technique is called “Picture-on-Glass” design language. The OLED screen is only 2.6 millimeters thick. Its back wall is made of glass. The screen diagonal is 65 inches. The Samsung SUHD television features a curved screen of 165 centimetres. The SUHD technology provides enormously high-contrast images with even more colour. The image quality of the KS9090 model is pin sharp. Consumers can use the numerous apps and online video libraries of the in-house operating system Tizen. An external one-connect box is used to securely store USB ports and HDMI inputs. The JS9090 and KU6079 models from the previous year, which are also convincing in their image quality, are cheaper in price.
