There are several important considerations to make when buying a 4K TV, according to a Bloomberg writer who details the main lessons they learned after purchasing one.
The screen size should be suited to the room, with a size to viewing distance ratio appropriate for the space; 4K TVs also vary in terms of panel types, colour accuracy and contrast performance, so it’s important to look beyond the resolution; HDR improves the picture through better contrast and more vibrant colours, but not all HDR is created equally, so it’s best to look for high peak brightness and wide colour gamut; a high refresh rate is important for sports fans and gamers, while cheaper HDMI cables, sound and internet speed also need to be taken into account; there can be hidden costs to owning a 4K TV.
