South Africa’s hottest tech deals and sales of the week (6-10 May) | 4k Smart Tv

While we’re yet to get a Vizio TV into our test rooms, the pricing and feature lists of these sets alone should provide plenty of food for thought. 

Because of these issues, the LF621U19 isn’t a particularly great television choice for use in brightly lit spaces and when it comes to HDR movie playback from sources like Netflix, it pretty much fails at the job when it comes to highlighting HDR content luminosity. Oddly though, the contrast ratio isn’t much affected by the Toshiba Fire TV’s screen brightness woes, simply because its excellent black levels do a lot to save the situation here.

QLED, on the other hand, is a proprietary technology developed by Samsung. QLED uses a filter of quantum dots to enhance color and contrast, and make do with dimming zones rather than individual pixel control. QLED TVs are a lot brighter than OLEDs (thousands of nits versus hundreds) though can struggle to show both light and dark images at the same time as a result. There are OLED die-hards who hate the washed-out colors of overly bright TVs, while many with Samsung sets would find the far dimmer OLED displays far less impactful.

This 2018 Sony TV is down to $1,998 at a few retailers including Amazon, Dell, and more. That’s a new price drop and $300 off what it has sold for since last year.

Just a few years ago, it was estimated that Samsung’s LCD panel manufacturing business in Korea was perhaps realizing one to two points of profit on finished LCD panels. There is speculation that the company may want to ease out of panel manufacturing, most likely sourcing the glass they need from their joint venture fab with TCL (China Star) or buying it on the open market.

While not as surefire as professional calibration, a great first DIY step is googling your exact TV model and see what settings other home theater viewers are using.

Following the settings for your specific TV at rtings.com will put you very much in the ballpark, allowing you to make slight tweaks to adjust to your specific tastes and the light level in your room.
