For a while now, 4k definition has dominated the cinematography industry. For obvious reasons, a significant chunk of the movies produced are this resolution. The videos are super clear, and with the proper hardware, you experience different dynamics where the characters come to life.
Nevertheless, it is pointless to subscribe to entertainment services and get premium accounts if you do not have the proper hardware. If you want to enjoy these next-generation graphics, you will have to spend significantly on the supporting hardware. Here is what you need.
4k Smart TV
A super monitor that supports 4k graphics is part of the top gadgets you should get. A 4k display should come with 3840 x 2160 resolution at the bare minimum. However, the recommended pixelation properties of a 4k monitor are 4096 x 2160.
The Samsung QA9OA NEO QLED TV gives you an unmatched display thanks to its QLED color and mini-LED black and white combinations. It has exceptional features to tweak to heighten your entertainment experience.
However, it would be best to be careful when shopping for a 4k smart TV because most of what is available in the market are UHD. If you are not sure about the quality of the device you want to get, a little help from this shopping guide will give you insight into what you should watch out for when shopping for televisions.
Video card
For anyone that wants to watch 4k movies on the desktop, you might want to invest in a video card. Thanks to new technology, 4k-enabled graphic cards are readily available even though they are costly. A video card that can consistently hit at least 60 FPS will give you a breath-taking view.
Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3090 are currently the video cards that everyone’s scrambling for. These devices can attain up to 60 FPS even when watching a movie with dense graphics.
Thanks to their super-performing character, it is virtually challenging to get one anywhere, and when you do, the price is over the roof. However, when you get either of these graphics cards, they transform your experience from regular to spectacular.
Soundbars
Nothing makes a movie night more enjoyable than getting the best soundbars that match your TV’s quality. They complement your visuals, making the experience an unmatched one. A small, discreet soundbar creates the perfect ambiance within your living room.
However, you can choose other more conspicuous options if they have the perfect specs. Bluetooth connectivity, corded or cordless, and Wi-Fi-enabled soundbars are some of the best picks you can get in the market.
And if you love the extra bass, getting one that has a sub-woofer will add that extra spice to your sound. Of course, the price, specs, and quality come into play when selecting soundbars, but luckily, there is always something for everyone.
Fast internet
One of the most evident properties of 4k videos is they are heavy. Streaming movies over the regular internet (20mbs) can instantly kill your interest in whatever you’re watching as a result of the constant buffering. In the worst case, your webpage becomes unresponsive.
If you can get a hold of a provider that offers at least 30mbs, you will probably enjoy the viewing, even though you may have to wait for it to load before you can watch.
But if waiting isn’t your thing, streaming on superfast internet that offers at least 50mbs will ensure that your streaming session is uninterrupted. With 70mbps, however, you set yourself ready to enjoy a flawless movie without any buffers, glitches, or video quality downgrades to support your internet provision.
