Why Now is the Time to Buy a 4K TV

Shopping for a new TV set can sometimes be overwhelming. With the limitless options and all the resolution talk, it can leave you feeling frustrated. Lets make it easy! 4k!!!! So what is 4k? Pure and simple, 4k means a clearer picture! That’s it? Yep, well…almost! 4k means more pixels on the screen at once. More pixels at once means crisper images. Simply put, it’s capable of showing more details than your standard HD screen! 4 times the amount of pixels means 4 times the level of detail. Or to put it another way, you could fit EVERY pixel from your 1080p onto one quarter of a 4k screen. The time to switch to 4k is NOW and we are going to tell you why we think so!

1) It’s Finally Affordable

It used to be that if you wanted a 4k set, you’d have to part with thousands of dollars. Those days are gone. Technology has improved and as a result, prices are falling rapidly. The price difference to upgrade to 4k is far too insignificant at this point to buy anything else. Get the bang for your buck!!!!

2) The Newest Version of every Set Top Box comes with support for 4k and/or HD

No matter your preference, you can be sure it comes with plenty of content for your 4k set. Whether you prefer Apple, Roku, FireTV….there are 4k/HDR options from every set top box maker at this point. Chances are, the devices you already have in your home are capable of powering a 4k/HDR TV. You can even download films or TV and then watch them in 4k/HDR on your new TV.

3) Your Streaming Services have beat you to it

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and even YouTube are all there already! Your favorite services offer steaming in 4k with HDR support….RIGHT NOW!!!!!

4) Gaming in 4K

Gaming has come leaps and bounds since the launch of consoles like Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. 4k is going to make your favorite games pop!!! But if you want to get the most out of your consoles, you need an equivalent TV. Rest assured that if you switch over, you’ll notice the difference right away! The jagged edges of diagonals are eliminated, offering a massive increase in texture detail! Plus, you’ll love the difference in color quality! The era of 4k gaming has arrived!!!

5) All of the best sets are 4k

It’s a well known fact you put the latest and greatest features in your top models, right? Well, the TV world is no exception. So you’re not only getting the higher 4k resolution, the sets also boast smarter TV interfaces and services. And it doesn’t stop there! We are talking greater brightness, truer colors, and even improved sound!

6) It’s not a forgettable fad…

It isn’t another forgettable fad, like the disappointments you had with bad smart TVs and 3D TV. One major point to note about 4k is that it’s here to stay. Remember, its simply improving on an existing experience. You don’t have to fight with an uncooperative system, wear special glasses, or buy another version of a movie you already own on VHS, DVD, and BluRay.

7) It’s the New Standard for the Future

Naturally, we have saved the best point for last! The next standard in TV visuals WILL be 4k. This isn’t a maybe, it’s a certainty. Buying a standard HD TV at this point would be a mistake. Even if you didn’t plan on watching 4k content (trust us, you’ll want to) the price is too close not to. PLUS you’ll undoubtedly be delivered a sharper picture even for standard HD programs. (For example, watching a BluRay disc on a 4k set can be a huge improvement over a standard HD set.) It’s happening! Just like when standard definition TVs transitioned to HD, so too will HD TVs transition to 4k. Why?? More and more content is being filmed in 4k. Not to mention, the average TV size is growing! Why does this matter? Simple! The bigger the TV, the more important resolution is. Low resolution visuals look blurry, stretched, and lets face it….way less fun to watch!

With that being said and with 4k TV prices decreasing significantly in the last year, these prices will continue to fall as 4k inevitably becomes the new standard! With Black Friday approaching, we are sure to see some of the lowest prices yet! Now is the time to get your new 4K TV and let Ctrl Alt Repair mount it over your fireplace or entertainment area!
