They all have different technology, functions and prices according to the consumer’s need.

Space where it will be located: Entertainment centers, desks, TV panels, support racks, among others. Each of them has different measurements and functionalities. In the case of racks, they have fixed, swivel, ceiling, or arm alternatives, among others. At this point, it is also important to take into account the angle and height of the television. Experts recommend calculating that the eyes are not in the middle of the screen, but 1/3 of the upper end of it or with a vision of at least 30 degrees.
Screen size: There are more than six sizes of televisions, between 32 and 86 inches. The choice of size, in addition to space, will depend on its purpose. For example, if you are in a room, you will most likely need a larger size, since it is intended for viewing by multiple people. Also, if the user is passionate about movies, they usually use higher inches, while gamer users opt for inches between 42″ and 48″.

panel technology: Despite having various alternatives on the market, there are only two types of panels: LED and OLED. Within the LED category, there are the QNED, QNED MiniLed, Nanocell, Ultra HD models, among others. In the OLED category, there are OLED signature, OLED evo and OLED. The main difference between all of them is the way in which their light emitters work. In the case of OLEDs, they are the only televisions on the market that do not use a light source because their pixels emit their own light, generating greater savings and 100% perfect color vision.
Screen resolution: HD, full HD, 4K or 8K. This feature goes hand in hand with the size of the TV. The higher the inches, the higher the resolution should be. For example, streaming platforms produce content in 4K, so it is recommended that televisions between 43″ and 70″ use that type of resolution. From 70″ to 86″, an 8K screen is recommended as the screen needs more pixels. This, in order not to lose definition and be prepared for future content with higher resolution.
Functions and features: Will you use the TV for video games? Do you want to watch videos and listen to music? Will you only use it in your spare time? It all depends on which model to choose. For example, the ports on the back of the television, such as the HDM1 2.1 present in the OLED evo C2, allow greater audio and video transfer, ideal for a better experience with consoles. On the other hand, the functions focused on sports, movies or compatibility with Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-Sync or Dolby Atmos formats will be a decisive factor at the time of purchase.
