Breaking Through the TV Terminology
4K, HDR, and OLED Defined
When you shop for a new TV these days,
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 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.
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.
Dismantling Disability How Can a Lawyer Help You Keep Your Disability Income
If you’re living with a chronic condition or serious injury, you know how physically and emotionally taxing everyday tasks can be — especially a job. Luckily, disability income is designed to help those who are struggling to make ends meet when they cannot work due to a serious injury or condition.
The best way to figure out what your rights are when you’re considering disability income is to hire a qualified lawyer to walk you through the process and any complications that crop up. Since these complications can vary from person to person, legal aid is the best way to find a solution. But there are some intricacies that are important to learn. First of all, your disability qualification will be reviewed periodically, based on your condition. If you’re more likely than not to recover from your condition, your case will be reviewed on a more frequent basis. Furthermore, if your benefits are terminated — you will receive a letter if this happens — you have 10 days to file an appeal to continue receiving payments until the matter is resolved.
Unfortunately, it’s also very confusing.
There are three different kinds of a disability a person can qualify for, each with a varying level of coverage and guidelines. Social Security Income is available to anyone with a qualifying disability, and it never requires the
user to pay or contribute to its services. However, this places a limit on howmuch users can receive. For those who have worked in the workforce prior to qualifying for disability payments, they can apply for Social Security Disability Income , which gives them access to more benefits. Lastly, some employers opt to get Long-TermDisability Insurance . This covers their employees who become disabled and cannot work for a minimum of six months, but it can be a confusing process.
Overall, you have 60 days to file an appeal on the issue. If you don’t win your appeal, you could be asked to pay back the money you did receive during the appeal process.
