Set your needs
First you need to set your needs exactly.Do you just want a simple 4K TV for watching the stations offered by cable providers?
In this case there are already models with prices starting from 1.199 lei, offered by Horizon.Basic models are not smart, giving only 4K UHD resolution.
Horizon is a Romanian brand, being "invented" by Network One Distribution (NOD), a company controlled by businessman Iulian Stanciu.
Next to it can be found on the Romanian market simple TVs from brands such as Nei, Vortex, Orion or Wellington.
If you have found an "offer" at any online retailer, it would be best to go somewhere where you can directly see the device how it works and how bright it is.
Any online purchase can be returned in 14 days
Even if they are not intelligent, they offer functions like USB ports where you can connect external hard disks or sticks from which you can watch movies.Also, if they have multiple HDMI ports you can connect a laptop or chromecast to see movies on the Internet.
If you buy it online, check that the site you buy is not a ghost company so that they have then unpleasant surprises.You must also know that any online purchase can be returned in 14 days to the trader, without the need for explanations, as provided by European Consumer Protection Legislation..
How smart is it smart?
If you set that you do not want a 4K TV just because it is big and looks good then you have reached the next dilemma level.
Foarte multe companii oferă televizoare 4K accesibile ca preț, dar care sunt și smart.
Remember, however, that what "smart" means to a consecrated brand is not the same with smart functions from weaker companies.Usually the smart part of them does not exceed a few functions, and the operating system is weak and moves hard, especially to low -price ones.
In addition to cheap brands, such as Star-Light, Horizon, Thomson, Manta, Tesla, Vivax, Vision Touch, Telefunken, etc. There are also companies that still have a reputation, such as Hyundai, Polaroid, Grundig or JVC..
Other manufacturers are Hisense, TCl or Haier, all of China.They are increasingly successful worldwide, but in Romania their presence is quite low.
As a general rule, they offer 4K TVs with larger diagonals than famous brands but at lower prices.But this happens precisely because the software part is weaker, but also because at the image level they do not come with all the "breezes" of others.
The differences between operating systems
Also Japanese groups Sharp, Toshiba or Hitachi offer 4K models and operating systems.Are not very bright but are an additional step on those on lesser -known brands.
A special system is the Opera TV, newer renamed Vewd.It provides access to Netflix, YouTube and many other applications and games.You must keep in mind, however.
Sony's entry-level models come with Opera TV, and the system is present on a number of other Sharp or Toshiba models or on a series of Blu-ray players.
Already, at this level, the producers begin to offer HDR functions, CRE means Romanian "high dynamic range".The name does not say much but all you need to know is that it allows higher brightness and a better viewing.
The top line
Dacă ați trecut prin toate astea, vă place imaginea, vă doriți funcțiile, dar nu sunteți mulțumiți de partea smart, atunci ajungeți la cele mai avansate sisteme de operare.
The most advanced is Android TV, which allows both downloading video, news, music, and better games on TV.If the rest of the systems allow naive games, as for children, such as tanks, on Android TV you will find titles like Asphalt 2, Dead Triger 2, Badland, Bomb Squad, Beach Buggy Racing etc, all with graphics far over what the rest offers and similar to whatWe find on the smartphone.
Basically, the TV is also a mini game console.Sure it is not at the level of a Play Station or a Xbox One, but it is still more advanced.At this time, Android TV TVs are marketed by Sony and Philips.
Attention, however, what kind of Android you choose.Only Sony and Philips sell "authentic" Android TV TVs, the rest using the Android operating system on tablets.Their interface differs, like the list of applications that can be installed.
The next line is represented by the webos from LG and Tizen de Samsung.They have very intuitive interfaces and are very easy to use.Not missing applications like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Go or Deezer.
Also these two operating systems also offer web browsers.
Finally, the operating system on the Panasonic TVs is the former Firefox OS, currently rendered My Home Screen 2.0.And it has basic applications except notable HBO Go.Unlike Webos and Tizen, it is more primitive, but this year Panasonic is about to bring version 3.0 of it, which greatly improves processes.
Already 4K models from LG and Samsung start from 1.700 lei for 100 centimeters diagonal versions and grow in price as the diagonal is higher and other top technologies are included in them.
OLED, Qled and other top technologies
And here we get to the expensive side of the problem.The higher the brightness or contrast the greater the price increases.Also the more you add the various technologies the more it is.
Așa este cazul cu tehnologia Local Dimming – care asigură un contrast mai mare, funcția Ambilight prevede o luminare a camerei cu ajutorul unor led-uri montate pe spatele televizorului, în vreme ce altele au la pachet sunet de calitate de la branduri audio de renume, precum Harman Kardon sau Bang & Olufsen.
Also, the quality of the panel - the name given by those in the connection for the screen itself - matters enormously.Usually, TVs are LCD and use LED lighting technology.However, manufacturers include technologies that provide amazing images in top models.
Companies such as Sony, LG and Panasonic use in top TVs OLED, similar to those used by Samsung on its smartphones or Apple on iPhone X..
The main differentiator of OLED technology is that each pixel ignites individually so they consume less.Also, the black is very intense, "infinite", and the very intense colors.The disadvantage is that any OLED screen will come to a time to present traces of burn-in, that is, small "ghosts" impregnated on the background due to static images.
The good part is that OLED screens allow companies to make extremely thin TVs and SF technologies.For example, LG has invented an OLED TV of only a few centimeters, which "sticks" magnetically on the wall with a support.Sony, in turn, made a smart TV in which the screen is really the box.It costs, however, about 15.000 euros.
On the other side Samsung bets on Qled technology, based on Quantum Dot.This allows a brightness far over everything that offers competitors.Samsung has already presented a Microled -based world -based world -based television..This provides all the benefits of OLED but with no problems listed.Including Apple develops Microled screens for future generations of Apple Watch smart watches and iPhone.
The cheapest OLED model available in Romania is 7.000 lei, and the cheapest QLED costs 5.400 lei.
