Factors To Consider Before Buying A TV

Published

on

When considering buying a brilliant TV to stand against or hang from a wall as the centerpiece of a living room, many people think about just two factors: how big it is, and how much it is.

For some people, buying a TV may never come down to anything more than that. Jumia, the online store you can trust, examines the most important factors to consider when buying TVs.

Contrast ratio

The contrast ratio is simply the difference in brightness between the darkest black and whitest white the TV can produce. With a low contrast ratio, black areas of an image might appear more like a washed-out gray, or bright areas may lack vibrancy. You’ll often see numbers like 2,000:1 or 5,000:1 to indicate the contrast ratio, and the bigger that ratio, the better.

Colour reproduction and colour depth

This may not be an issue as most TV manufacturers will keep their colour depth at a level that won’t frustrate consumers. But if you’re shopping for a real bargain-priced TV, you may want to make sure that you get one with a bit depth of 8 bits per channel or more. This will ensure that the TV is able to create enough colors to satisfy the human eye and present photo-realistic images.

Size matters

When it comes to size, things can go one of two ways: you get your TV home, mount it on the wall and realize it looks too small. Size is tricky, it helps to measure in advance and even tape a rectangle on the wall to ensure that your selection isn’t too big or too small for space.

TV resolution

Once you’ve chosen a size and display type, you will want to tackle picture resolution next. A TV’s resolution simply refers to the number of pixels that make up the picture on the TV. The more pixels (or dots), the finer the resolution and crisper the picture. Too few pixels, and you’ll have a grainy image.

Display types

One of the first things you will want to do when buying a TV is to figure out what type of TV you want. There are LCD TVs, LED TVs, OLED TVs, and plasma TVs to choose from. The display types will make your decision making easier.

“My boy. My son . Adieu. I feel like a man who has lost a son. You came to dance in my music video. I paid you and you said ‘Thank you sir’ I was touched by your gratefulness and I asked my production manager to call you back. I took your number and told you I d push your career cos out of all the people I paid that day you were the only one who said THANK YOU. So one month later and after auditions , I cast in a leading role in the movie DEEPER THAN FACES. I surrounded you with established actors like Tonto Dikeh. Uche Elendu and the legend Uncle Pete Edochie. Cos I knew casting you among them would make you fly. And fly you did. I carried your career AMAKA MUSTAPHA. BE NOT AFRAID. NEW JOY etcetera, and you kept flying.

“Others began to cast you and I was happy watching you grow. Casting you as Churchill son of legendary actor Kanayo O Kanayo in GLOBACOM’s sitcom Professor Johnbull was one of the best decisions of my career because again you showed your versatility.

“I don’t know how this happened, it s only God that knows, JP, for me you are not dead, you have only gone to another level. That is the only way I can cope with this terrible news. We will keep holding the flag until we meet again”.
