The Peak HDR: A Key Feature to Note in Budget-Oriented Televisions

When it comes to budget-oriented televisions, many manufacturers may not disclose the peak brightness of their screens, as they don't want to reveal the limitations of their panels. However, if you put two TVs side-by-side and compare their peak HDR capabilities, you'll notice a significant difference. Most budget-oriented televisions can only reach a certain level of peak brightness, which is typically lower than what premium TVs can achieve.

In reality, most manufacturers will not provide an exact figure for the maximum brightness of their budgets TVs, as they don't want to reveal that it's not as good as what you'd get with a more expensive model. However, if you're in the market for a budget-oriented television and are looking at HDR capabilities, keep in mind that the peak brightness won't be as high as what premium TVs can offer.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a feature that offers improved contrast and color accuracy, but it's not unique to every TV. Most of these panels claim to support HDR 10, but some may only have partial support or use different formats like HDR 10+. Some manufacturers also license Dolby Vision, which requires additional licensing fees.

When shopping for an Android-certified TV, you might come across the term "Android certified" in the marketing materials. This means that the TV is running on a modified version of the Android operating system and comes with support for Google Play Store apps like YouTube, Google Assistant voice control, and more. However, it's essential to note that not all Android-certified TVs will have Netflix or Amazon Prime support pre-installed.

In fact, many budget-oriented Smart TVs in India do not come with Netflix or Amazon Prime apps preloaded, even if they are certified by the manufacturer. This is because licensing agreements can be complicated and costly. As a result, you might need to use alternative methods to access these services on your Android TV, such as using the Amazon Fire TV Stick.

If you're considering buying an Android-certified TV with Google Assistant voice control, keep in mind that it may not have Netflix or Amazon Prime support out of the box. However, some manufacturers like LG and Sony do offer Dolby Vision support on their higher-end models. Samsung, on the other hand, has opted to focus on its own HDR 10+ format.

Testing Budget-Oriented Televisions with Smart Features

I've had the opportunity to test a few budget-oriented televisions with smart features, including Android certification and Google Assistant voice control. While these TVs offer impressive picture quality at affordable prices, they often lack some of the more desirable features like Netflix and Amazon Prime support.

In my testing, I found that some budget-oriented Smart TVs in India do not come with preloaded Netflix or Amazon Prime apps, despite being certified by the manufacturer. Instead, users may need to rely on alternative methods, such as using a separate streaming device like the Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Despite these limitations, many Android-certified TVs offer excellent picture quality and feature sets at budget-friendly prices. If you're in the market for a new television and are looking for a good balance between price and features, consider exploring options with smart features like Android certification and Google Assistant voice control.

Testing Televisions in Real-World Scenarios

I've been putting some budget-oriented TVs through their paces to test their performance in real-world scenarios. While the results have been promising, there are still some limitations to be aware of when shopping for a new television.

One area where I've noticed a difference between budget and premium TVs is in their support for HDR formats like HDR 10 and Dolby Vision. While many budget-oriented Smart TVs claim to support these formats, some may only offer partial support or use different versions.

Another issue I've encountered is the availability of Netflix and Amazon Prime apps on budget-oriented Smart TVs. Despite being certified by the manufacturer, many of these TVs do not come with preloaded access to these services. Instead, users may need to rely on alternative methods, such as using a separate streaming device.

Despite these limitations, I believe that budget-oriented televisions still offer great value for their price. With improvements in technology and feature sets, it's essential to keep an eye out for the best deals and features when shopping for a new television.

Conclusion

When shopping for a new television, there are many factors to consider, including picture quality, smart features, and support for popular streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime. While budget-oriented TVs may not offer all of these features at once, they can still provide excellent value for their price.

By keeping an eye out for certifications like Android certification and understanding the limitations of different HDR formats, you can make an informed decision when shopping for a new television. Remember to also consider alternative methods for accessing streaming services, such as using a separate device like the Amazon Fire TV Stick.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranchi tan in this video I'm going to talk about the budget smart TVs and even we are single off Android certified TVs at a very good budget price but I'll give you the truth about this one and in fact just today morning I tweeted about this and I call love questions from you guys so could answer them individually on Twitter so I decided to make a video and here are all the pointers that are made that I'll talk about you so that you have the understanding what does the smart television and what are you going to get on this and what are the things that you won't get into this and why should you trust me because guys I have owned very high-end televisions like Samsung Hewlett and even I have a LG OLED and have mid-range televisions from Samsung Panasonic and other brands as you can see and I test quite a few televisions and this is the information generally that you are not gonna find on manufacturers website but as you're buying a television I frankly feel you should know about it so first let me quickly talk about the different types of LCD panels or the types of televisions that you get and quickly then move to the budget televisions and if you want to buy that be aware of some of the things that you might think that might be there on that but in reality it won't be there but again let's talk about it and first let's talk about the LCD panels that I used and there is a lot of confusion many on these boxes it's written as LCD LED TV so basically it's LCD TV guys it's not an LED TV the backlighting is led so many people get confused that you're buying LED TV no it's not LED TV it's basically LCD panel but the backlighting the light that is produced is by LEDs and the cheapest that you get in the market is T and LCD types also known as TFT LCD and I would not personally go with this one because in that one the viewing angles are simply not that good and even the color reproduction and other stuffs are not good so frankly speaking if you're going with a TV and you see that it's having a TN or TFS TFT LCD panels just stay away from it the second one that we generally see I'm using quite a bit even in TVs that cost around 15 to 20 thousand these days is IPS LCD panels and actually these are actually really good the good thing is that the color reproduction is very good and also the viewing angles are actually really good so if you have a TV in your hall but the seating as people sit here here here then it will be great if you go over the IPS panel because the viewing angles is good so even a person who's sitting over here will see the picture that'll be good even the person sitting over here will have a good picture next is the VA type panels and these actually produce very good black colors and contrast is actually really got in there for example my samsung culet TV which is a very high-end television is having a VA panel the blacks for use on them are actually really good the picture quality is good the contrast is good but the problem with the VA panel is that if you sit over here just here and here you're viewing the the color would be fine but if you sit from the side the viewing angles on a VA pal is not that good but generally I've noticed that VA pals produce much better blacks compared to IPS panel so I really like blacks because in movies we have a lot of dark country so that is via pal the last type of technology used is OLED TVs this is actually very expensive for example we see LG having older televisions all cost over 2 lakhs but yeah so I won't take into account but yeah if you want the ultimate you can go with OLED TVs but they do cost a lot now also another thing that you have to note as the type of local dimming that is there on these television most of these TVs generally have edge lighting and generally the budget oriented ones won't have any local domain so the light cannot be controlled in the dark scenes and the darks that's right are not very dark but some of the TVs actually now even in the mid-range we are finding have local dimming so these things can actually dim the light let's say this is a dark scene it can dim the light and this stuff so it can produce more darker black so that is also one more thing and in higher-end tvs generally we haven't seen this in budget oriented TVs as backlit full-array a Demming so it can manage the lighting a lot better so that is also an option but generally that full array back lighting domain FL ad that's called it's not generally found in budget television also another thing is that you need to know as many of these are manufacturers even and the budget range are now claiming that the TVs are HD are technically does there but it's not a interview - and I'll get to that right because basically these TV panels are at the panel that they have as in bits the basic is 8-bit panel that you'll see on almost every television that is budget and what do you mean by that it means that it can produce up to sixteen point seven million colors that's good you can say yes it's good enough but for true HDR it needs even more colors and hence a true HDR TV will actually have a 10 bit panel that means it can produce up to 1 billion colors there is also talks about that a 12 bit panel will come out in 2020 that will have 68 billion colors so generally these budget oriented TVs will have 8-bit pal don't get worried about it too much but yeah in true sense it's not a body a proper HDR TV because true HDR requires a 10 bit but we are seeing some 10-bit pounds even with manufacture for example the Xiaomi is me-tv 55 inch one not the 49 55 inch one is having a 10 bit panel so that is also one more thing that you have to be aware of and now let's talk about the joke of HDR that has been going on HDR means high dynamic range as you can see more colors and even the difference between the peak brightness and the darkness should be there and these TVs have to produce more brighter images compared to a regular television or HDR and generally this HDR standard says that at least a TV should produce about 750 next to about thousand Nets of brightness for proper headgear for example the flagships do that the LG OLED that I have produces about 750 to 800 Nets and the Samsung qulet TV that I have goes over thousand actually but these budget oriented televisions that do claim to have HD are actually simply cannot go black that great in fact normal televisions that you see in the market generally have the brightness max brightness about 250 to about 3 350 and though these claim to be having HDR it's not true HDR they were slightly brighter but again I don't think so most of them go brighter than even 400 dead so that is also one thing you have to note and generally I find here is a big difference between premium brands like Lex and Sony LG Samsung etc these in terms of HDR have way better performance because they can go 800 minutes tamson goes above thousand nets so that is something again you have to note again you won't notice the difference but if you put the pants side-by-side that is something that you have to note the peak HDR what's the maximum brightness a TV goes generally most of the manufactures in the budget range will not give you that figure because they don't want you to know that figure also now moving to HDR they claim HDR is there and yeah most of them actually support HDR if they see but again the pre brightness won't be that much in budget oriented televisions compared to premium ones because the panel simply cannot go that right that is something you have to note and also the thing that I've noticed is you won't find support for HDR again has various formats like HDR regular one HDR 10 we have now we have even HDR a 10-plus that is coming and we also have to all be versions what are you generally notice is that most of these panels say that HDR 10 is there but many of them will come at Dolby vision again Dolby vision is not free again these certain manufacturers have to take license for that so again you don't generally don't find that one in budget or in television for example LG TVs have Dolby vision even Sony is half them but surprisingly my Samsung one which is also a very expensive one simply does not have Darby vision because they want to push their own HDR 10 or HDR 10 plus in the market so again that is also one more thing that you have to note again don't worry too much again on a budget Orion television generally you won't find dolby vision now coming to another thing is that now you have seen a lot of TV is a touting that they are Android certified teaming what do you mean by that I have actually tested a bunch of Android certified TVs now for example 3 the xiaomi new TV proved that 55 inch one there's also one mark you TV that is lying around right now I just started testing that's also Android certified and also I Falcon TV that I did so if it's Android certified what does it mean yes it is running over Android you have complete support for Google Play support and you have YouTube app that is certified YouTube app on that and also many of these TVs actually have voice control so you can sort in fact Google assistant has sort of built and so again the voice commands and it works but again that doesn't mean that these TVs will have Netflix or Amazon Prime support that is completely different guys and again even in the main TV as of now Netflix or Amazon Prime is not supported even in the mark you what I was testing I haven't seen Netflix and Amazon support directly and even if you go to the Google Play Store within the TV you won't find those apps because these star apps are not certified for those televisions you have to actually take licensing and stuff so it's a complicated thing that's why to bring it on a budget they skip that and for example the ifalcon actually have the Netflix app but it didn't have the Amazon Prime app so again that is also something that you have to note even though if it's a certified Android smart TV or a Smart TV they claim it might not have Netflix and Amazon Prime that is very common in budget oriented Smart TVs that we are getting in India so if you're getting a smart television don't expect that it will be preloaded with Netflix or Amazon yes if it's coming from a renown brand like Samsung LG Sony etc yes it will have but again you are paying a premium for that so I have actually tested quite a few budget oriented televisions so-called smart they didn't have Netflix or Amazon so what I was doing is I was just using the Amazon far stick and using it with that yes it's not the most convenient thing but yeah that's how I felt again you are getting these 4k television for a bargain price the picture quality is good but yeah it's Kim's on amazon prime and netflix unless the situation changes most of the budget oriented smart television in India are not having pre-loaded Netflix and Amazon apps that's the reality guys don't expect that if you were to buy Android certified TV with Google assistant voice control it will have the Netflix and Amazon pre-installed many people confuse for that so guys anyways I hope that you found this video helpful if you again have any specific questions about telophase do let me know in the comment section below and I'll try to include them in my future videos and I'll also try to answer them in the YouTube comments section I'm actually also testing a couple of Android televisions I don't want to reveal the names over still in the testing procedure so again I expect those videos in the tarnex coming weeks and guys if you are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for watching this is
