The main difference between a Full HD TV and an Ultra HD TV is the picture quality. You’ll find that Ultra HD TVs offer a sharper, crisp image resolution over a Full HD TV, with 4x more pixels. Full HD allows you to watch your free-to-air 1080p HD channels in perfect clarity, while Ultra HD TVs do justice to both your HD channels plus all the latest 4K (Ultra HD) entertainment via your subscription streaming apps. Also, many Ultra HD TVs upscale Full HD content to be closer to lifelike 4K.

When Full HD TVs came onto the market, they were promoted as the best resolution for Blu-ray players and videos. You may also have heard it referred to as 1080p. Many movies produced on Blu-rays use the Full HD resolution, so you’ll find that movies you watch on a Full HD TV using a Blu-ray player will be high-quality with brilliant images.

More and more movies are being made in 4K Ultra HD, so you’ll find Ultra HD Blu-ray players, Netflix, and YouTube will stream content perfect for viewing on an Ultra HD TV. As the picture quality is much higher in Ultra HD TVs, you’ll find you can sit further away, watching your shows on a big TV screen, and still enjoy a clear and crisp picture. Watching a 4K film on your 4K Blu-ray player in conjunction with a 4K TV takes home viewing to exciting new heights.

Ultra HD TVs come in a range of sizes starting at 43” and going up to a whopping 100” plus in the latest Home Theatre Projectors.

Bigger sized TVs using Ultra HD (4K or 8K) are hugely popular for their striking clarity that can be viewed further away. As a general guide, here’s how far away you should sit for the ultimate viewing pleasure: 55” TV = 1.7m, 65” TV = 2.0m, 75” TV = 2.3m & 85” TV = 2.6m. If you’ve got the room and you’re in the market for a new Ultra HD TV, you deserve to go all out and grab a big screen TV.

It’s believed that the bigger, the better does apply to Ultra HD TVs! And with so much Ultra HD content now available (streaming from Netflix, Apple TV and so on), you’ll be taking full advantage of having an Ultra HD TV.

If you’re looking for a cheap Ultra HD TV as a secondary TV, you’ll be pleased to know that Ultra HD TVs come in a range of sizes and prices to suit everyone.

And finally, to get the ultimate viewpoint for your Ultra HD TV, you may consider Wall-Mounting it for optimal viewing. 

You may have read arguments against 4K TVs being true Ultra HD TVs. But honestly, you are safe to believe that manufacturers refer to 4K and Ultra HD as being the same thing (the same resolution).

UHD stands for Ultra High Definition and is exactly what 4K resolution offers – Ultra High Definition. Resolution means the number of pixels that make up your TV screen. You’ll find 4K resolution is often referred to as 3840 x 2160 pixels (4 times more than Full HD).

The majority of today's TVs are 4K Ultra HD TVs. There’s a lot more 4K content around these days, with many subscription streaming services offering content filmed in 4K or "4K HDR" - it's safe to say that almost all 4K TVs support some form of High Dynamic Range (HDR) content.

Where 4K resolution may live up to its true measurement (4096 pixels) is on a movie projector. The Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) created 4K as a standard spec for producing and projecting 4K content. All movies are filmed to 4096 x 2160 pixel dimensions.

There are now also 8K Ultra HD TVs - delivering even more pixels than 4K. Just keep in mind there is very limited content available in 8K however many of these TVs come with resolution upscaling to take your 4K content and sometimes even Full HD closer to incredibly lifelike 8K.

As with most types of TVs, all the leading brands make an Ultra HD TV. 

Samsung, Hisense and FFalcon are amongst the top sellers for Ultra HD TVs, with LG, Toshiba, Sharp, Sony and TCL also producing high-quality models.

You’ll find that a UHD TV gives you sharp and vibrant colours with a crystal-clear picture. If you’re a sports fan who hates lag time, you’ll love watching soccer, football, tennis, and more on a UHD TV.

When you’re looking for the best UHD 4K or 8K TVs, you also need to consider the screen technology. You can choose from OLED (the best in TV realism with the best picture quality and lifelike contrasts without a backlight), LED LCD (the most common type on the market), or QLED (tiny quantum dots magnify brightness and colour, using a backlight made up of LEDs). The latest LED LCD TVs are called "Mini LED": offering superior contrast and brightness compared to conventional LED LCD. 

The contrast capabilities within LED LCD can vary - if you're wanting the best of the best, look out for models listed as having "Full Array" dimming.

Finally, you’ll find that all UHD TVs are smart TVs, offering effortless online streaming of movies, sports and gaming, some with the Android TV interface for seamless management of your entertainment.
