Since televisions stopped being an XXL screen to become sophisticated entertainment devices, innovations in their structure did not stop appearing.
For those who are determined to cross the technological threshold, a
guide with prices and characteristics of the five best smart TVs available in Argentina in 2021
.
In choosing a smart TV, multiple variables converge, with several technical aspects to consider in order to aspire to a
top-of-the-range model
.
On the purchase scale, the characteristics with the greatest weight are:
the panel type, its size, the resolution and the operating system
.
Add to that the input latency and the transfer speed of the port.
The five most advanced televisions available in the country respond to
Samsung, LG, TCL, Noblex and Sony.
What are the aspects that must be taken into account when choosing a TV.
Samsung Photo
Density
.
The current standard is
4K Ultra HD
and it manages to form a 3,840 by 2,160 image.
The letter "K" is for Kilo (1000), which means that the TV achieves a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels.
Resolution is a term that indicates how densely the pixels on the screen come together to form the image.
The higher the count of these points, the higher the quality.
The next step in the evolutionary chain is 8K, which has four times more pixels than a UHD.
Samsung QLED 8K
Samsung QLED 8K 75Q800T TV.
With QLED panels and 8K resolution (7,680 by 4,320) and 33 million pixels.
It is 75 inches.
$ 599,999.
Locally, the first to go on sale is
Samsung's 8K QLED
TV
($ 599,999).
This model, like many cell phones, does not have visible edges, so the screen takes advantage of 99% of the surface, making it blend in with the environment thanks to its ambient mode technology.
“One of the main differentials of the 75Q800T is the artificial intelligence to bring whatever content is played (4K, Full HD, HD, or even SD) up to 8K resolution, reducing image noise, restoring lost details and even fine-tuning the borders around objects and text.
This allows you to enjoy the highest quality of the equipment, ”explains Martin Hilgert, senior product manager at Samsung.
High frequency
.
The introduction of the HDMI 2.1 port provides an improvement in the transfer flow, reaching up to 48 Gbps (against the 18 Gbps of HDMI 2.0), which opens the doors to higher resolutions and refresh rates.
This port is even more justified if one has the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5. Since it allows to take advantage of the automatic low latency mode (ALLM) and adaptive refresh rates (VRR) or the possibility of sending sound to several speakers through the Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC).
LG OLED BX
LG OLED BX TV.
It has HDMI 2.1.
It supports HDR10 PRO, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and Filmmaker Mode.
It is 65 inches.
The new
OLED BX
series
from LG ($ 409,999)
is designed to offer the best gaming conditions since they have HDMI 2.1, to synchronize the refresh rate of the screen with that provided by the graphics card of the PC.
It also comes with the “3rd Generation ALPHA 7” intelligent processor that offers an over-the-top viewing and sound experience.
This quad core chip (Quad Core) operates in 64 bits.
“The Quad Core processes images or content in High Dynamic Range (HDR) allowing you to see greater detail in dark or white scenes, in HDR10 and HLG formats.
The first is found on many platforms such as Netflix and the best thing is that the LG TV recognizes the format and notifies that it is in that HDR format.
While the HLG is for live transmission of 4K signal ”, explains Sergio Jung, LG product manager.
Updates
.
While the bulk of the equipment is Smart TV, there are some cheaper models that include simplified or their own operating systems, the top models opt for the consolidated ones such as Android TV, WebOS (LG) and Tizen (Samsung) that offer constant updates of their firmware.
TCL TV C715 QLED
TCL TV C715 QLED television.
Quantum Dot 4K technology with Dolby Vision-Atmos and Google Assistant with Hands Free Voice to control TV with your voice.
66 ". $ 169,999
The
TCL TV C715 QLED ($ 169,999) produced 100% in Argentina
brings certified Android TV operating system and Google Assistant with Hands Free Voice Control.
Alongside Dolby Audio's immersive technology is DTS intelligent sound processing, which enables audio decoding without any compression.
"In addition to the Frame Less design, which allows an immersive view of the screen, it incorporates the Hands Free Voice Control, an innovation that allows the consumer to use the functions of the Android TV just with the sound of their voice," says Gustavo Vázquez, commercial director of TCL.
Panels
.
Televisions bet on different screen technologies.
The most common are LCD with LED backlighting - with some derivatives like Samsung's QLEDs - and OLEDs.
Whether a model is LED, OLED or QLED depends on the way the pixels or colored dots are illuminated
.
It is important to assess the quality of the image and precisely where the difference between televisions lies.
QLED panels are an evolution with respect to LEDs, since the pixels can be activated individually allowing greater contrast and obtaining the purest blacks.
Instead, OLEDs produce their own light to be able to control individual brightness, save layers and achieve minimal thickness screens.
The vision is almost perfect from all angles.
Sony Bravia XBR-65X805H
Sony Bravia XBR-65X805H TV.
4K LCD panels (3,840 by 2,160 pixels).
with the Processor X1 processor and HDR remaster, to improve the contrast.
$ 239,999
The
Sony Bravia XBR-65X805H ($ 239,999)
has LCD panels albeit with some technical tweaks to improve sharpness.
“Through HDR remaster, the processor analyzes the color of the shapes on the screen to adjust their contrast.
As the objects are remastered individually, this television is capable of reproducing greater depth and texture, which translates into more realistic images ”, they point out from the company.
Noblex DK55X6500
Noblex 55 "TV DK55X6500. 4K LED panels (3,840 by 2,160), with Vidaa 4.0 operating system. The screen is 55 inches. $ 80,000
While
Noblex currently offers its
DK line ($ 80,000)
, it is preparing for the launch of the Black Series, consisting of 4 models of 50, 55, 65 and 75-inch televisions with the Quantum Dot (QLED) function that will be launched in June. .
The devices offer innovative features, such as the Vidaa 4.0 operating system, Wifi Dual Band, to amplify the internet connection and Eye Protect, a function that reduces the emission of blue light.
