85-inch smart TVs: How much does it cost to have your own home theater?
With the widespread use of flat-screen televisions that are around 100 inches , which in everyday terms is 2.20 meters wide by 1.25 meters high, you can now bring a screen into your living room to turn it into a home theater .
Furthermore, the image quality offered by the latest generation models and the audio level that can be achieved with sound bars complete the ideal combination.
Continuing with screen quality, Ultra HD or 4K is the current market standard for large screens . These screens comprise a frame of 3,840 by 2,160 pixels. Resolution indicates the density with which these individual pixels are combined to form the displayed image. The higher the number, the greater the definition.
A good size to fully enjoy movies is 85 inches. And as mentioned above, they're right up there with 4K.
The bad news, of course, is the prices. Although the government reduced taxes on screens imported from abroad more than a month ago , coupled with the drop in inflation, interest-free installments, and all the rest , buying one of these screens still requires a fortune: around 3 million pesos.
Televisions that are around 100 inches are about 2.20 meters wide by 1.25 meters high.
These displays often feature a very thoughtful design . They can feature a slim profile and seamless panel, allowing them to easily integrate into any environment.
Philips ' Ambilight line has a unique feature: it comes with integrated LED lights on the back that react to what is being viewed and form a halo of colorful light that changes according to the content on the screen.
The processor in a smart TV, just like in a computer, is a key element, as its performance influences other aspects such as resolution, HDR content management, color accuracy, and motion. Many of the processors currently included in these displays have Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.
In acoustic terms, one of the most important innovations in today's televisions is the introduction of spatial sound ( Dolby Atmos ), a technology that allows you to hear individual sounds depending on your location in front of the screen.
Unlike stereo sound, where audio comes from two channels (left and right), spatial sound adds an extra dimension by adding height.
These screens are also ideal for video games.
The refresh rate is another important hierarchy, as it determines the number of times per second the TV updates the images on the screen. This figure is related to the frame rate, which is the number of times a video clip, movie, or video game sends a new update to the screen.
To prevent jumps between two high-contrast scenes, televisions use Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). This feature allows the native refresh rate to be modified to smooth out these transitions.
Other details that can make a difference include a TV that comes with Bluetooth connectivity (so you can listen with headphones while the rest of the family sleeps), Wi-Fi to connect it to the internet, and a good remote control (LG's Magic Control is one of the best) to navigate the screen.
It is also important that it has at least two HDMI inputs and one USB input, which is important for connecting consoles, speakers, or a laptop.
