In cooperation with authorized European smart TV brand KIVI 24 Channels has prepared a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed choice and buy exactly the innovation that will delight the user every day.

Placement is important

Where the new TV will stand is an important factor influencing the decision. Different rooms may require certain device features. For example, the volume and volume control of the built-in speakers in the kitchen is very important, while in the nursery, parental control and the stability of the work are important.

It is also useful to decide in advance where the space for the new TV will be allocated in the room. An additional need may arise if the user plans to place it on a wall, corner or flat surface. fastenings or brackets

One of the most important features of a TV is its size. It is defined by the diagonal and measured in inches (”) and should be chosen in proportion to the viewing distance. A generally accepted recommendation is that the diagonal size should be equal to half the distance from the viewer to the screen.

The following indicators will guide you when choosing a TV:

• 65″ – minimum 2.5m (Full HD) or 2.1m (4K);
• 50 to 52 inches – at least 2.2 m (Full HD) or 1.7 m (4K);
• 46″ – minimum 1.9m (Full HD) or 1.5m (4K);
• 40 to 42 inches – at least 1.7m (Full HD) or 1.3m (4K);
• 32 inches – minimum 1.3 m (Full HD).

For example, KIVI smart TVs are available in the popular 32”, 40” and 43” diagonals. Mounting options include furniture or wall mounting using special brackets. If viewing from different angles is expected, it is recommended to use a special swivel bracket.

The TV should be installed where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. It is also important to take into account the proximity to the outlets, otherwise you will have to drag the extension cord across the room, which is very inconvenient. But there are situations when this is the only way out. Then you should determine in advance exactly how many meters of extension cable you need. It will not be superfluous to have additional connectors on it for connecting a set-top box or other devices.

The size of the room also determines the sound requirements: in large rooms it is better to use external acoustic systems.

Full HD, 4K, HDR: which display features to consider

The scenario of using the TV depends on which features of the screen should be preferred. Even in 2023, a screen with HD or Full HD resolution will be sufficient for normal TV viewing. So if you need a 90 percent background TV for the kitchen, don’t overpay for options you won’t need.

However, for full immersion in high-quality movies, it is recommended to choose the 4K (Ultra HD) option with a larger diagonal and a more realistic image. Such a TV will give the most pleasant emotions from watching Netflix and time spent at the console.

It is also worth paying attention to additional software technologies that increase image quality. Among the features that KIVI TVs can offer are the following technologies, for example:

• Super Contrast Control: prevents dark frames from coalescing by increasing the contrast in certain areas of the image;
• Maximum Live: optimizes the brightness for different parts of the video;
• MEMC (Motion Prediction and Motion Compensation): Provides smooth image transition in fast-moving scenes. The trick is to “finish” missed shots;
• game mode: created especially for gamers. It prioritizes game performance and image quality and disables all unnecessary background features.

We must not forget the technology that is currently popular HDRThis can significantly improve image quality. The presence of this chip will improve not only the experience of watching movies and TV shows, but also gaming sessions. Basically, the higher the dynamic range (brightness and colors) the more realistic the image. HDR provides greater accuracy and depth of color toning, as well as stronger contrast.

Which operating system should you choose

There are three most common operating systems in the TV market:

• AndroidTV;
• Tizen operating system;
• webOS.

All of them are similar in functionality and differ in the availability of applications. Android TV can still be called the most versatile and functional operating system. TVs with this system may have the largest library of applications. That’s why these TVs are the best choice for entertainment and productivity. By the way, the latest KIVI TVs run on Android TV 11 and there are more than 10,000 apps available in the Play Market.

What iron should be in it

Buying a TV is always an investment in the future, so it is better to give preference to the latest models with modern processors. A reliable processor ensures the stability and smooth operation of the system. Note that KIVI uses a chipset that is 30% more powerful than the market average and guarantees optimum performance.

It is wise to consider the number of ports for external devices, especially if you plan to connect a game console, headset or other accessories.

Installed apps

Choosing a TV that integrates directly with known apps like Google and Netflix will provide extra convenience. Official apps guarantee smooth operation, regular updates and smooth operation.

Netflix and Amazon have an ever-growing library of 4K HDR content, so it’s best to have these shows installed on your TV right away.

Also, residents of Ukraine who want to watch Megogo or Sweet TV content will be interested in installing these programs, although they are usually available on TVs.

Conclusion

Choosing the right TV is a complex but fairly simple process that must be approached consistently. It remains to decide on the installation place and purpose of the device, choose its features and functions – and then the novelty will bring maximum pleasure.
