4K UltraHD TV

From adding some cool new accessories to simply understanding all the different pictures modes available to you, with this guide you can learn how to improve your television experience and get more out of your 4K TV.

 

1) Wall Mounts

Many televisions, especially 4K ones, tend to be rather large pieces of furniture, and while we all love a large TV, we aren’t necessarily making the most of the space one takes up on TV table when it’s turned off.

Wall mounts are an easy space saving solution to this problem; perfect for TV enthusiasts who need a little extra room in their home, using a television bracket will free up your table and make better use of your walls.

Be aware that not all walls can support a TV bracket, be sure to check your wall can carry the weight of your TV before your purchase.

2) Top Quality Sound Bar

Sound bars are far better than most television speakers for one simple reason; they are much bigger. If you have recently bought a 4K TV, or are thinking of researching cheap 8K TVs, then you are probably aware of the effect that achieving life-like realism from your entertainment system can have on your viewing experience.

In short, the more advanced your television set-up is, the more likely that your brain will perceive it as real and you will be able to lose yourself in the show you want to enjoy.

 

3) Ultimate Universal Remote

No doubt you’ve experienced the pandemonium that erupts when the remote is lost, for situations like these you should always ensure that you have a spare. More than just a spare though, you could pay extra for the Logitech Harmony Elite which is considered by many to be the pinnacle of TV remote invention. This Logitech remote professes the ability to connect your home, with the ability to control your TV, Alexa, gaming consoles, Amazon fire and more. You can even connect it up to an app to turn your phone into another remote.

 

4) TV Picture Modes

Understanding TV picture modes can help you to reduce your TVs potential for screen burn and even enhance your viewing experience. For example, many modern TVs come with a gaming mode, but few actually understand how it affects the picture quality. Gaming mode usually means that your television screen will refresh its picture at a faster rate, reducing lag for dedicated players.

For other TVs, the gaming mode might be less functional and more of a style choice, only adjusting the contrasting levels and hues to give the perception of difference while doing nothing to improve lag on games. It’s always important to do some research before investing in a new TV to ensure that it can match your needs.

 

5) Smart TV Channels

If you are yet to download streaming apps onto your smart television then you are in luck! Starting today, your home entertainment experience is about to get a whole lot smoother.

If you are the proud owner of a Netflix or Prime subscription and a smart TV, you can start watching all your favourite shows from the comfort of your living room, rather than curling around a laptop or sitting at your desktop. Some televisions even come with buttons on the remote specifically to take you to these streaming apps, pre-downloaded for your benefit.

6) Blu-Ray Player

Blu-rays are overtaking DVD players due to their far larger storage capacity, allowing them to support resolutions up to 1920×1080. If you are still using normal DVDs on your 4K TV, then you aren’t making the most of the 4K’s superb resolution quality.

 

7) Gaming Consoles

If you’re a fan of gaming then you should consider investing in the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro with it’s improved graphics which will really show off the capabilities of a 4K TV.
