If you’re already aware of what HDR (high-dynamic range) is, you might find yourself with more questions now that you’ve understood the concept.
If you pull out a list of the best 75-80” TVs, you’ll notice that they’re all very evenly split between these three. Ultimately, these are formats of HDR, and each has its relative merits. This article compares the three formats with each other…
Televisions have enjoyed evolution on a level perhaps quicker and more visible than any other technology; no longer do our televisions rely on antennas, no longer do we have to bang on the TV set to get the picture right and no longer are we glued to them all the time.
Well, maybe not everything’s changed.
Still, televisions continue to get bigger and better with newer, more futuristic features…
Of all the things affecting the color depth and image quality on a television screen, the most frustrating might just be the dirty screen effect.
With any technological issue, not knowing where the problem’s coming from might be much more annoying than being faced with a knowable problem. We speak anecdotally, but the importance of the “formulation of a problem” has been known to experts…
The best monitors out there seem to have it all; having one of those top-of-the-line 1440p monitors seems to ensure perfect visuals and cutting-edge technology all in exchange for a few hundred dollars.
You might already know, however, that this is not always true. Of the many factors that influence the overall quality of a monitor, such as color depth and image quality, even the most expensive…
Color might be one of the most striking aspects and a key deciding factor in any considerations we make based on one of the most important sense perceptions: sight.
In fact, a marketing study claims that up to 90% of rapid-fire judgments made about products rely on color alone. The effect of color is paramount, then, and anything being “off” (without getting into discussions of qualia) about…
Behind the scenes of your favorite films and television shows, hours and hours of work (equaling months) is put in to achieve the final result. This is not just limited to the writing, directing, and producing, however, but also in bringing the end product to you: DVDs, rentable downloads, and streaming services all work hard to make the at-home experience as enjoyable for the viewer as…
Color depth and image quality are intertwined in a highly crucial way; image quality is as dependent on color bit depth as it would be on something as fundamental as color space.
The best monitors out there, no matter what type – whether they’re gaming monitors or ultrawide monitors – all present a total package that fires on all cylinders with great resolution, ideal response time, a…
The seemingly always-relevant allure of retro-tech and nostalgic music and shows leads many to wonder what it’s all about, especially with the popularity of VHS and camcorder apps, prompting the need for a better understanding of what analog is and what digital is.
Houses that still employ or need things such as weather radios or outdoor TV antennas and antenna amplifiers are a good example of…
A common misconception about TV and home theatres is that bigger is always better, and having a 50″ (or perhaps even larger) screen is all you need to have a premium viewing experience. However, while it is true that larger screens may help you see the image itself better, larger screens can be overkill in smaller rooms. Your overall viewing experience will depend on much more intricate factors…
If you had been under the impression that TV screen technologies had peaked already, then think again! 2018 brought us a new candidate for the best TV technology: Micro LED. Micro LED is, by no means, a brand new technology, but it is now beginning to be championed by major brands like Samsung and LG, so now is a good time for you to learn more about it.
Samsung has also confirmed that its Micro…
The TV industry is always changing; we see new and improved technologies being released every year. This may make you think that it is time to upgrade, but you need to be able to make an informed decision. Take HDR, for instance.
Over the past few years, as CRT has evolved into thinner TVs, and as we have witnessed plasma’s introduction and downfall, terms like HD, Full HD, and Ultra HD have…
Visuals on your screen – on TVs, monitors, projectors, phones, and so on – are made up of various forces interacting together. Brightness, gamma, and contrast are three things you might already know of just from having looked at the Settings on an app or device at some point!
However, of these, the most important for how rich the colors and how clearly defined the edges are that determine the…
