Is Buying a 4K TV Worth It?

4K UltraHD TV

If you’re looking to purchase your next TV, you may find yourself faced with what feels like a million choices. How can you choose the best TV type for you? Should you go for a small or large screen? And what resolution should you get? At Electronic World, we have a vast range of cheap TV deals you don’t want to miss out on, including our fantastic 4K TVs.

You may wonder whether 4K screens are actually worth it, especially considering the advent of 8K. However, 4K TVs not only remain incredibly popular, but they also offer many benefits that you should consider when browsing for your next TV.

What Does 4K TV Mean?

First of all, it’s vital to understand what 4K actually refers to. 4K, or Ultra HD, offers great image quality and sharp pictures due to their high number of pixels. With four times as many pixels as HD, 4K resolution has transformed the way we watch TV, since 4K refers to a resolution of 3840 x 2160, the equivalent of 8 million pixels. 4K TVs also tend to come with technologies such as HDR (as well as OLED and QLED screens), which further adds to the quality and vibrancy of the image.

More pixels means sharper pictures and more immersive content; whether you’re looking for a cinematic experience or a screen that is perfect for gaming, 4K resolution will offer you a truly engaging experience.

Should I Buy a 4K TV?

One of the main advantages of choosing 4K over a normal HD television is the ‘retina’ display you will, undoubtedly, love. ‘Retina’ refers to screens that have such a high resolution that you can’t make out individual pixels at a normal viewing distance. With 4Ks, you can get closer to the TV and still enjoy the same image quality, as the picture doesn’t break down.

This means you get a lot more immersion with these types of TV and can watch a large screen from the same seating position as your current television without seeing the grid-like structure of the screen. Due to this effect, 4K has actually become popular for computer screens as well, since it allows for a great image while sitting at a desk.

In addition, 4K TVs showcase a greater degree of detail that won’t go unmissed, perfect for anyone watching sports with an eagle eye; they also come with zero to little blur, ideal for fast-moving images (such as those in action films). You can also look forward to more sublime facial expressions that may be missed with inferior resolutions – this means 4K TVs are ideal for anyone looking to get more enjoyment out of the latest dramas!

The stunning colour depth of 4K TVs will certainly convert you as well. With 1,024 shades of each of the three primary colours, you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite shows with unmatched intensity. You can be confident that your living room will be future-proofed too; after all, these TVs won’t be replaced anytime soon, even when 8Ks enter the market. 4K will remain relevant for a long time and you’ll have access to an increasing number of technologies by choosing this type of screen.

So, Are 4K TVs Worth It?

The short and sweet answer is yes. Some people may want to hold off until 8K comes out and choose a TV with that resolution instead. However, even though there is no denying the image quality will be turned up a notch with 8K (because the pixel density will rise to 33 million at 7680 x 4320 resolution), these TVs will be more expensive right off the bat and there won’t be as much available content at the start either.

On the other hand, our cheap 4K TVs are incredibly cost-effective. Whether you’re talking about an entry-level or a more upper echelon TV, Electronic World has fantastic sets at your disposal. The initial price barrier associated with 4K screens has dropped and this resolution is now offered in a vast range of TVs, whether budget or mid-range, for example. Getting one of these TVs has never been easier, and there’s plenty of content available as well, such as Netflix’s shows and movies, since 4K is quickly becoming the standard. Consoles like the Xbox One S and the PS4 Pro are also compatible with 4K.
