Breaking Through the TV Terminology

4K, HDR, and OLED Defined

When you shop for a new TV these days, you’re greeted with a bevy of acronyms and numbers — marketing terms you can’t make sense of. These are terms like 4K, HDR, and OLED, just to name a few. TV makers leave it up to you to figure out what these terms mean. Well, look no further. We’re going to cut through the marketing speak and get to the point. Here’s what today’s popular TV marketing terms really mean. 4K The TV buzzword “4K” has replaced “HDTV” and “1080p” as the go-to marketing term. In short, it’s a reference to the number of pixels on the screen. Standard high-definition TVs (1080p) have a vertical resolution of 1,080 pixels and a horizontal resolution of 1,920. Here’s where it gets weird. 4K TVs have a vertical resolution of 2,160 pixels with a horizontal resolution of 3,840. Marketers decided to swap the vertical resolution as their reference point with the horizontal resolution, because higher numbers are more impressive, right? But 4K TVs seem to fall short of the moniker. Regardless, these TVs have improved color and image quality over standard HD, but you have to have YourAuto Insurance Policy Decoded A FREE Consult Just for You!

devices — such as the PlayStation 4 Pro or a Blu-ray player — or services that output in 4K to take advantage of the boost in pixels. HDR High Dynamic Range, or HDR, is a type of image processing. When an image is processed, HDR is used to increase or decrease the luminosity of the image. It means bright whites, deeper blacks, and improved colors overall. It’s been used in photography for decades and in video since the 1990s. Most 4K TVs have built-in HDR processing, resulting in better color quality, which translates to better image quality overall. OLED Short for organic light-emitting diode, OLED TVs feature a microscopically thin layer of an organic compound that emits light when an electric current is introduced. Typical LED TVs rely on a backlight in order to produce a lit, visible image. These backlights take up space, resulting in a thicker TV. The major advantage of OLED TVs is they are incredibly thin and light, and they produce deeper blacks for an improved color and image quality.

Do you know all the details of your auto insurance policy?

The startling truth is that a lot of people don’t.

Unfortunately, too many insurance agents are only interested in selling you a policy. They will tell you what you want to hear so you’ll sign on the dotted line and move on. A lot of agents don’t sit down with their clients to discuss all the details of their policy.

One of the worst things that can happen during your personal injury case is to experience the terrifying realization that you don’t have the right insurance or your policy is too limited. Even worse, maybe the other person doesn’t have insurance at all. I’ve blogged and written in this newsletter about the importance of underinsured motorist coverage. Despite this, a lot of people discover the pitfalls of lacking this insurance only after they’ve been in an accident.

I don’t want this to happen to you.

This month, I’m inviting you or anyone you know with auto insurance questions to come into our office for a free meeting. I’ll take a look at your coverage and tell you exactly what you have, what you don’t have, and what you need.

They tell me, “My insurance agent said I had full coverage. I thought this was included.”
