TV terms explained

Tuning out on what everything means? Check out our TV terms demystified below.

Screen resolutions

HD (High Definition) 1366p x 768p resolution You'll only find this lower resolution in the smaller TVs. It’ll do the job. FHD (Full High Definition) 1920p x 1080p resolution. This is your Blu-ray quality screen. UHD (Ultra High Definition) 3840p x 2160p resolution This is your 4K resolution. This is your most common and pretty standard resolution these days. 8K 7680p x 4320p resolution Although, you won't find much content in this high res yet, it's on the cards and gets your setup ready for the next standard in the future.

Screen types

LCD/LED: This is your standard LCD/Liquid crystal display screen with LED lighting. Some are edge lit, these are your most cost effective. As you move up in models, they start to be back lit. QLED: This is your Quantum Dot LED TV. This is still an LCD screen, but the Quantum Dot technology allows the TV to display the full range of colour. This will give you the brightest and most vibrant colour. NEO QLED: This is your Quantum Dot LED TV paired with the new mini LED lighting technology. It's a fully backlit panel using the mini LED lights which are approximately 40 times smaller than a standard LED. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes): This is an Organic LED. There is no LCD panel in this screen. It's just a screen and lights creating the picture. This technology allows a perfect black, and an instant picture with no lag.

What's a Refresh Rate?

A TV’s refresh rate is measured in hertz (Hz). 100Hz means that the picture is refreshed 100 times in a second and 200Hz means it’s refreshed 200 times a second.

The standard human eye can, on average, detect between 50 - 90 hertz. The larger the screen, the more the naked eye may detect some blur or lag in the picture. A faster refresh rate means that a TV panel can better manage and display moving images, such as sport or action movies.

Operating systems ... please explain

Google TV: This is Google's TV operating system that runs full Android with all the bells and whistles including built in Chromecast. This operating system is probably the most versatile with access to the full range of apps and is most likely to be able to be updated to access any future streaming apps that may come out in the future. Being Google, you can also integrate your TV into an existing Google ecosystem you may already have in your home, and with Google Assistant onboard, you can also say something as simple as "Hey Google, play the Mandalorian" or “Turn off the lights” and Bob's your uncle. Managing all your Google smart devices can easily be done in the Google Home app.

Android TV: This is a smart TV operating system based on Android and developed by Google. Simply put, Android TV is designed to bring the sorts of things you enjoy on your phone to your TV. It comes with a Google Play store which gives you access to almost all apps available.

Tizen: This operating system is used by Samsung. It is an open source platform and has been designed to suit Samsung smart TVs specifically. Samsung have access to almost all the apps available and are very quick to get to work on updates when new apps become available.

LG Smart TV (LG webOS): This is the operating system on LG TVs that’s quick and simple to use. It has access to a wide range of apps, but not all of them - Kayo being one. That said, LG is constantly working on updates.

VIDAA: This is Hisense's operating system. It was designed to simplify the traditional smart TV user interface and is easy to operate. It has access to a wide range of apps, but not all of them – Disney+ being one. That said, Hisense is constantly working on updates.

What are different inputs used for?

HDMI: This is a standard for connecting high definition video devices. All TVs will come with a minimum of 1 HDMI port and can have up to 4. These are commonly used for most devices you would plug into your TV including Blu-ray players, Games consoles, Foxtel and many more.

HDMI 2.1: A newer version of HDMI to allow higher refresh rates and higher resolutions, such as 4K at 120 frames per second, or 8K at 60 frames per second. A must have for next-gen gaming such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S.

Digital audio (Optical output): This is a port on almost all TVs that's designated for digital sound. Currently it's most commonly used to connect a soundbar to your TV or output your TV sound to a home theatre amplifier.
