Android Smart TVs are one of the best options currently on the market, at least as far as the operating system used by televisions is concerned. If you have in mind to get a model of this type that meets perfectly, we will tell you what you should take into account and, also, some models that we recommend buying.
The development of Google has many virtues compared to others on the market, since access to the Play Store ensures that you have access to a large number of applications that increase the functions of the television. Thus, for example, it is possible to install all the clients for streaming video services and, also, many games that can be enjoyed to the fullest by using a Bluetooth controller (to give an example). Therefore, it is clear that this software is highly recommended.
What should not be missing on Android Smart TVs
Taking into account that we are talking about small screen models, the dimensions of the panels should be between 40 and 50 inches . These, thanks to the work of reducing the frames, do not take up much space and are completely viable options for use in living rooms and bedrooms. In terms of resolution, the minimum required is that it is possible to enjoy HD, but it is much more recommended that you get to 4K to be perfectly prepared for everything (this, yes, forces the integrated processor to be four cores so that the scaling of the images is done with quality).
It is very positive that the television that is selected allows to reproduce HDR content, already present in various streaming video platforms, since in this way the colors are much more realistic (even, this with console games is greatly appreciated). It is important, by the way, that the sound is stereo , so there must be two integrated speakers, with a minimum power of 10 W. Support for options such as DTS and Dolby, should not be missing so that the location of the effects be good.
Another thing that should always exist on Android Smart TVs is that they must include Internet access. For this, an Ethernet cable port must be present so that it can be used if the device is next to the router and, otherwise, WiFi must not be missing so that everything can be done wirelessly without having to depend on anything physical . By the way, if the integrated adapter is Dual Band, much better since its efficiency is much better.
Connectivity, a section that is essential
If this is not suitable, you have a bad experience of use. As simple as that. If the number of HDMI ports is low, you have to be changing the cable from one device to another on a regular basis … a nuisance since the ideal is to always have the console and the sound bar connected, for example. Therefore, the minimum requirement is that there are two connections and that they are compatible with version 2.0. Regarding USB , at least one must exist so that it is possible to connect external discs with multimedia content and, if possible, record the broadcasts.
Bluetooth should not be missing either, which for example allows the use of game controls, and sound output such as optical or analog is always positive that they are present. With all this, you can be sure that when it comes to connectivity, the purchase is right.
