Television today offers a lot more options. The picture quality is light years ahead of what it was, not just in the last century but even in the beginning of this one. Also, thanks to its integrations with other technologies, it can deliver a lot more than basic programming or games.
The following are the seven key technologies that have changed the television landscape.
High-Definition Television (HD TV)
HD TVs have been evolving so that what counted back in 2005 will not impress anyone today. Back in 2005, there was HD Ready, which delivered a minimum resolution of 720 rows. That was soon supplanted by what is called Full HD (FHD).
Today, every TV you’d find currently for sale would be up to the “HD Ready,” standard. That means it can offer a resolution of 1280×720 (720p).
4K TV
FHD depends on 1920 x 1080 pixels. In contrast, 4K packs in around four times as many pixels with its 3840×2160 setup. That’s super-duper high resolution.
Organic Light Emitting Diode OLED TV
It is also able to do so on an incredibly light and thin screen that can be rendered flexible enough to curve. That can be an advantage to improving the viewer’s experience, according to the experts. Another advantage is that curved screens appear larger and brighter. In addition, the shape “eliminates reflections from ambient lighting on the sides, and it also reduces specular (mirror) reflections.”
Connected TV (CTV) or Smart TV
Just like the Android smartphones, they will automatically update apps as they become live in the store. Android TV also includes functions built into smartphones and laptops today, namely voice-activation. That means that your TV remote will contain a microphone that can put you in touch with the Google Assistant to get what you want from it without having to use your hands.
IPTV: Internet TV
The content for internet TV may be broadcast live, but it also can usually be viewed on demand. Internet TV providers store the content on their servers, so they remain accessible. Typically viewers access the content through the provider’s app or log in on the site for access.
Streaming Services and Over The Top Technology (OTT)
But it has since been joined by several other major players that make up like the growing OTT market, like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube Premium and AppleTV, among others. The outlay for each of these streaming services is significantly lower than for most cable services, though many people will subscribe to multiple services.
