I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?
Refresh rate may play a factor in some of these, especially when you’re talking $1500k+ TVs.
Most American TVs nowadays have a 60 refresh rate but some can have 120 or 200 refresh rate which will drive up the cost considerably.
It’s not always made known what the refresh rate is; you have to search to find it in the details and know what you’re looking for. My TV in my living room has a 120 and it wasn’t made apparent on the box except the small details on the side. And that’s because that refresh is only for the apps, not the HDMI ports, so they didn’t want to get called out for false advertising, being my best guess on that.
ELI5 for refresh rate: it’s how many frames are shown on the tv. It’s like when you see those flip books that make a stick figure look like they’re running. A good flip book will have 100 pages but a really good quality one will have 2,000 pages which gives much greater detail of the stick figure’s movements because there are more pages with more drawings showing more of each step taken.
60 Hz. You should mention the units.
