Why You Should Wait To Buy A New TV | Best 2020 TVs
I'm gonna say something I haven't said
in maybe a decade I think you shouldn't
wait to buy a new TV
[Music]
hey everyone I'm Caleb Denison for
Digital Trends and I've had some time to
think
since the madness of CES is now in the
rearview mirror
turns out the TVs coming out later this
year are actually worth waiting for
I know you might be looking at a new TV
for the Super Bowl and I know you are
about to see some really killer deals
coming up in the next few months but if
you can hold on for just a bit longer
with the TV you have the wait will be
worth it here's why the new TVs coming
this spring have some legit upgrades
that make them better performing more
future-proofed and very likely less
expensive let's start with HDMI 2.1
which brings a bunch of new
possibilities hdmi 2.1 is coming to most
major TV brands at this time the jury is
still out on sony so look for an update
on that in the comments and there are 7
features in particular that i think will
benefit you variable refresh rate or VR
our auto low latency mode or alm
enhanced audio return channel EARC
dynamic HDR quick media switching and
quick frame transport it's a lot I know
but let me run through them really quick
three of those are aimed squarely at
gamers VR RAL LM and quick frames
transport within HDMI 2.1 give gamers up
to 4k resolution at 120 Hertz with at
least free sync compatibility as well as
Nvidia g-sync and many models
this means killer picture quality with
less screen tearing high refresh rates
and some of the lowest input lag we've
ever seen never mind a high-end gaming
monitor just get a TV you'll get a
better experience the EARC part is also
clutch not just for those who want
uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound
going from their TV to their AV receiver
or sound bar but also if lip sync issues
drive you nuts with EARC those things
are gone
dynamic HDR means the better HDR
experience and quick media switching
means no more black screen when you
switch from cable satellite to a
streaming app or a console it will be
absolutely instantaneous now all this is
to say that I think the full suite of
HDMI 2.1 features are well worth having
and if we're talking about
future-proofing i think you need hdmi
2.1 to be as future-proofed as possible
next let's talk about OLED for a minute
not only is there a new 48 inch full
adoption coming from LG and Sony which I
think will make a killer gaming monitor
as well as a more accessible size option
for a lot of people let in the bedroom
anyone sorry
the other thing here is that Visio
Phillips and Conca are all bringing in a
led to the US this year what does that
mean competition it's been LG and Sony
only for the past two years and with
competition coming from noted
budget-friendly brands you can bet
prices are going to drop across the
board for Olin so if you thought OLED
was out of reach because they're too
expensive that will probably change this
year suddenly OLED looks like a viable
option for lots more people and I'm
stoked about that next let's talk about
what TCL and Vizio are doing Vizio is
bringing what will likely be the
brightest TV of the year it's p-series
quantum X into 2020 and it's got a new
picture processor that from what I was
able to see is looking way better than
previous years then you've got TCL which
and I'm still amazed by this brought the
first mini LED TV to market last year
now that mini LED tech is coming down to
its 6 Series TVs which means mini LED at
more sizes and at a much lower price
plus TCL has this new mini LED tech it
calls vid rien and that's going to make
an even more compelling case for mini
LED at the premium tier all of this puts
some serious pressure on Samsung LG and
Sony to bring super high quality
performance at lower prices than we've
ever seen before
so not only should oh let's get more
affordable but I think what we consider
to be high tier LCD TV performance last
year will be seen in the mid tier or at
least that performance will come at what
we've considered mid tier prices in the
past and as a side note I will point out
that LG at least is bringing a TS c 3.0
tuners to some of its TVs so if you want
to be ready for what will be the next
gen of broadcast TV LG has you covered
so there you have it that's my take if
you need a TV right now and you just
can't wait go for it I'm not saying you
shouldn't buy a TV before June or July
when most of these new models should be
out the tvs you can buy right now are
very good and will serve most people's
needs but if you're looking to get in on
the best lend of future-proofing value
and pricing then we've seen in quite
some time
then try to hold out and get something
coming out later this year I think in
the long term you'll be happier hey
everybody thanks for watching
are you willing to wait until the new
stuff comes out later this year leave me
