4K Ultra HD Televisions Review. Samsung, LG, and Sony.

TVs are getting bigger and resolution is getting higher. 4K Ultra HD Televisions are now the standard.

If you are coming from an old HD flat screen, then you should believe every word about 4K Ultra HD Televisions. That's because the latest batch from the likes of Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and others present huge visual improvements like Wide Color Gamut, HDR, and better-upscaling processors that TVs made 10 years ago just didn't have.

Your TV resolution matters and it’s the first thing any buyer should consider.

Why?

Ever taken a photo on your smartphone and zoom in real close? 

It gets all fuzzy, doesn’t it? Those fuzzy little dots of color are called pixels. And when it comes to picture quality, the more densely packed the pixels are, the more lifelike things become. That’s called “high resolution.”

Now, if you haven't upgraded from your 1080p TV yet, here's what you need to know about 4K Ultra HD Televisions.

What is 4K Ultra HD?

In a nutshell, 4K Ultra HD is the name assigned to a screen with a resolution that’s four times that of a Full (1080p) HD TV. This 4K display has at least 8 million active pixels. For consumer’s televisions, that resolution has been standardized to 3,840 by 2,160p. Digital cinema 4K (the resolution in 4K movie theaters) is slightly higher at 4,096 by 2,160p.

Whichever way you define it, it's four times the number of pixels on a 1080p display, and over 23 times the resolution of standard-definition television. That translates to 8 million pixels being crammed into the same space in which a Full HD TV fits just 2 million, achieved by making each pixel four times smaller. This means 4K is much sharper than 1080p.

Since each pixel is smaller, and thus each one is assigned a small slice of a bigger picture, the extra pixels have a bigger impact on a large screen because you can fit more of them in. As such, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a 4K TV with a screen smaller than 40 inches.

Polystar and Hisense have produced some impressive TVs with reasonable price tags, and on the higher end, LG and Sony's OLED TVs pack fantastic contrast into incredibly slim designs. Let's talk about some of the best 4K Ultra HD TVs from the following brands. For the best possible visuals, you’re going to want to go with an LG, Samsung, or Sony.
