It’s now on sale for $198, which is a huge price reduction from $301.99, equivalent to just over 60% off.

The deal is so popular that Walmart reports that more than 200 TVs are in people’s carts right now.

And even better, this is a 2024 TV model, so you’re not even shelling out for an old set that’s been discounted due to age.

WHAT ARE FLOWS OF THINGS MADE OF?

This particular model has a 43-inch screen capable of displaying 4K content at its native resolution.

So if you have a 4K TV to watch (like Netflix, for example), you can view all the pixels it offers.

This TV also supports high dynamic range formats like HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG.

Thus, it will be able to deliver HDR-compatible content with improved contrast and a wider range of colors.

The TV itself runs on the Google TV platform, giving access to a wide range of free and premium apps.

And it comes with a voice remote to talk to the built-in Google Assistant.

Chromecast technology It’s also built right into the TV for fast streaming and streaming.

TV SHOWING?

The TV has a five-star rating at Walmart, but that’s only based on seven customer reviews.

All of these reviews were five-star ratings, which is an encouraging sign – but there isn’t enough data to properly assess whether the TV is truly exceptional or not.

What is 4K, Ultra HD and UHD?

Here’s an easy guide to what 4K means…

  • 4K, Ultra HD and UHD are different names for the same type of TV screen. 4K refers to the number of pixels on your TV screen – or the “picture resolution”
  • Pixels are small colored dots that make up the image you see on television. A pixelated image is one where the pixels are really obvious because there aren’t many of them. But images with lots of pixels — like a 4K movie — often look sharper and clearer.
  • A true 4K display is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This means that your TV screen is 3,840 pixels wide and 2,160 pixels vertically. There are around 8.3 million pixels on the screen in total
  • 4K gets its name because it has four times more pixels than a standard Full HD TV
  • Full HD (or 1080p) displays are 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels up – about two million pixels in total. So 4K just means your TV has a lot more pixels on the screen compared to a more common Full HD screen
  • Ultra HD, or UHD, is basically the same as 4K. If you buy a UHD television in a store, you can watch 4K content without any problems
  • But there is a small difference. Almost every TV you buy has a 16:9 aspect ratio. This means that for every 16 pixels horizontally, there are 9 vertically.
  • Real 4K images don’t fit this aspect ratio, so you won’t often find TVs with 4096 x 2160 pixels. Instead, to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio, most 4K TVs will be 3840 x 2160 pixels.
  • If it doesn’t make sense, grab a calculator and divide 2,160 by 9. Then multiply by 16 and you get 3,840. That’s the aspect ratio working its magic. So when you see an Ultra HD TV, it just means it’s a 4K picture with slightly fewer vertical pixels
  • If you try to watch a 4K video on a non-4K TV, the video will still play – but it won’t be 4K quality. To watch 4K video in 4K quality, you’ll need to shell out for a 4K TV. Likewise, if you are watching standard or HD images on a 4K TV, it will not magically become 4K quality.
  • Some TVs promise “4K upscaling,” which converts your standard or HD footage to near 4K quality. This works by using software to guess which colors would fill the extra empty pixels missing from HD footage and then filling them in. This creates an effect similar to 4K, but it is not true 4K.

One Verified Buyer said: “Great TV. Love it. Good size – thought it would be too small but it’s perfect.

“The image quality is incredible and the 240 Hz motion rate is very smooth.”

Another Verified Buyer called it an “amazing TV,” adding, “This TV is perfect for rooms with limited viewing distance or space.

“The TV is easy to set up and install, very light for easy movement.

What is HDR? TV technology

HDR stands for high dynamic range and is present in most mid-to-high-end televisions today.

In short, it can increase the quality of your 4K TV’s pixels, resulting in better, more accurate colors and better contrast.

First things first – HDR is not an alternative to 4K Ultra HD (UHD), but rather a complementary TV technology that allows you to watch HDR content on compatible devices.

The amount of HDR entertainment available is growing all the time and includes games, downloadable movies, and 4K UHD Blu-rays and streaming shows.

You’ve probably seen HDR on your smartphone’s camera, but it’s a little different on video.

While 4K refers to the quantity of pixels on your television, HDR is all about the quality of those pixels rather than the quantity.

It not only improves the brightness of the TV, but also adds more details to the picture quality.

As a result, 4K HDR TVs feature darker blacks (or what are known as “true blacks”) and brighter whites (and more contrast in between) compared to non-HDR 4K TVs.

“The color and brightness are great and it has three HDMI ports so I can connect my laptops and PS5 at the same time.

“The sound is also really decent, with enough depth and bass. Very satisfied overall!”
