Laser tv, 4K cinema enters the living room thanks to laser. Buying Guide

by admin

Everyone’s attention is now (rightly) turned to the switch off which will sanction the transition to the new transmission standards and the consequent need to replace the old TV that is no longer suitable for receiving the digital terrestrial signal or to purchase a compatible decoder. The race to grab a new device, also thanks to the bonus for scrapping the old TV, has obviously already started: between 11 and 17 October, over 217,000 televisions were purchased in Italy, according to Gfk, 120% more. compared to the same week of 2020.

What if the forced change of the device was an opportunity to embrace a new entertainment experience? Laser TVs are one of these options. We are talking about short-range projectors as large as a console and able to reproduce images even over 100 inches diagonal at extremely close distance (from 10 to 50 cm), reaching 4K resolution. The advantages? A visual surface that emulates (and exceeds) that of mega screens and that allows you to replicate the atmosphere of a small cinema in your living room. And then, certainly not negligible, there are also several pluses compared to a traditional lamp projection system: zeroing of heating and cooling times, very low operating temperatures and (above all) reduced energy consumption, thanks to the self-regulation of the lighting according to the content to be reproduced.

From a technical point of view, a laser projector is not very different from a common high definition projector and processes the signal coming from the light source thanks to a display engine (a Dlp-Digital Light Processing or LCoS-Liquid Crystal on Silicon chip) . The viewing quality is usually high with image detail, brightness and color depth that is definitely appreciable even in a room that is not particularly large and with the lights on: the support of the Hdr10 standards to raise the level of visual rendering and the Dolby Atmos to give an audio up to the occasion are attributes that prove this assumption.

There are those who describe laser TVs as advanced home theater systems and others who instead see them as new concept televisions, with all the attributes to become the main entertainment center of the home thanks to the USB ports to which to connect keys or hard- disk and Hdmi ports to connect decoders such as SkyQ or smart hubs such as Apple TV, Google Chromecast or Amazon’s Fire Stick. Furthermore, thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, it is possible to use the smart TV and access the apps of the main streaming platforms while the integrated tuner makes it possible to connect to the digital terrestrial antenna or to the satellite TV dish.
