NVIDIA compatible

TV compatibility with special frame synchronization technologies used in NVIDIA graphics cards, namely G-Sync.

You should pay attention to this parameter if you plan to use the TV as a gaming monitor for a PC or laptop with an NVIDIA graphics adapter. Special timing technologies are used to match the screen refresh rate to the frame rate of the incoming video signal. Such a need arises for the reason that the frame rate issued by the graphics card can “float” when the load on the video adapter changes (this is especially true for resource-demanding games); and if this frequency does not match the screen refresh rate, tearing and other unwanted artifacts appear in the image.

The NVIDIA technology used to eliminate this effect is called G-Sync. Nowadays, you can find both the original G-Sync and the extended version — G-Sync Ultimate, which implements HDR support (see above). In addition, there are screens labeled “G-Sync Compatible”: they were not originally designed to work with G-Sync, but they turned out to be compatible with this technology (at least when working with graphics cards based on the GPU GeForce GTX 10 series and GeForce RTX 20th series).

Audio decoders

A decoder can be broadly described as a standard in which digital audio (often multi-channel) is recorded. For normal playback of such sound, it is necessary that the corresponding decoder is supported by the device. Dolby Digital and DTS were the first in multi-channel decoding, gradually improving and introducing new features. The final stage for 2020 is Dolby Atmos and DTS X decoders.

Dolby Atmos. A decoder that uses not a rigid distribution of sound across channels, but the processing of audio objects, due to which it can be used with almost any number of channels on a reproducing system — the sound will be divided between channels so that each audio object is heard as close as possible to its proper place. When using Dolby Atmos, ceiling speakers (or speakers facing the ceiling) are highly desirable. However, in extreme cases, you can do without them.

— DTS X. An analogue of the Dolby Atmos described above, when the sound is distributed not through individual channels, but through audio objects. The digital signal contains information about where (according to the director's intention) the object audible to the user should be and how it should move, and the processor of the reproducing device processes this information and determines exactly how the sound should be distributed over the available channels in order to achieve the required localization. Thanks to this, DTS X is not tied to a specific number of audi...o channels — there can be as many as you like, the system will automatically divide the sound into them, achieving the desired sound. Also note that this decoder allows you to separately adjust the volume of dialogues.

Picture-in-picture

The ability to display on the TV screen "pictures" from several sources at once. Usually, in the picture-in-picture mode, a small window is displayed in the background of the main image (or several such windows), which is displayed in full screen, in it you can see an additional image. One of the most popular ways to use this “multitasking” is to skip commercial breaks in TV broadcasts: for this time, you can switch the main image to a more interesting channel, and leave the ad in the auxiliary window to not miss the end of the commercial and continue watching. It is worth considering, however, that the images for each window must come from different sources — in other words, it will not work to turn on two channels at the same time from one tuner.

Built-in memory

The amount of memory installed in the TV to store content in the device. The larger size is especially relevant given that modern TVs allow the installation of additional applications that enhance the capabilities — and these applications also require space. However, do not forget that the TV system also requires space. And manufacturers by the volume can indicate both the total value and the free memory calculated for installing applications. And the volume itself can vary from 4 GB to 16 GB or more. However, a TV with 8 GB memory may be the best option.

RAM

The amount of random access memory (RAM) installed in the TV.

In general, this volume is selected by the manufacturer in such a way that the device can normally cope with the tasks that are claimed for it. On the other hand, all else being equal, more RAM ( 3 GB, 4 GB or more) usually means faster performance. This parameter is especially important if the TV runs on Android: such firmware allows the installation of additional applications that may have rather high requirements for RAM. However, TVs with 2 GB of RAM and below can also not be discounted — they just can't pull high-demanding applications. But do not forget that this is a TV, not a laptop.

Power consumption

The electrical power normally consumed by the TV. This parameter strongly depends on the screen size and sound power (see above), however, it can be determined by other parameters — primarily additional features and technologies implemented in the design. It is worth noting that most modern LCD TVs are quite economical, and most often this parameter does not play a significant role — in most cases, power consumption is about several tens of watts. And even large models with a diagonal of 70 – 90" consume about 200 – 300 W — this can be compared with the system unit of a low-power desktop PC.
