Ten reasons to rent a 4K TV
TV technology gets more incredible all the time. From the days of black and white to fuzzy figures you needed to squint for to the crystal-clear screens of today. Although there are now 8K TVs on the market, 4K sets are still the perfect all-rounder. They offer high-quality resolution – meaning a crisp, clear picture – for watching your favourite films, streaming and gaming.
What is 4K?
4K is a way of describing a TV’s video resolution and display. The name comes from the number of horizontal pixels. You guessed it, 4,000. When you shop for TVs, you might see 4K alongside Ultra HD or UHD. It seems confusing, but essentially, they’re all ways to describe this format. Interested in 4K? One of the best ways to get your hands on one – is to rent a TV. Here’s 10 reasons why…
Don’t miss a detail
Picture quality all comes down to pixels. The more you have, the better your display. Colours become more vivid, the image gets clearer and even small details are visible and precise. The total pixels in a 4K TV add up to a whopping 8million. To put it into context, standard sets only have about 2 million. So you can be sure that by choosing 4K, you’ll dramatically enhance your viewing pleasure.
Bigger means better
We pay to see movies on the big screen for a reason. A larger screen is easier to see, allows you to really appreciate every detail and feels a lot more immersive. A great benefit of 4K is that it’s often available on supersized screens so you can make the most of the advanced picture quality. This is great for sport-lovers too. It’s the closest you’ll get to watching the action live (without hefty ticket prices). Plus, if you’re hosting you won’t all have to huddle around a tiny telly.
See the rainbow with HDR
Many 4K TVs support High Dynamic Range (HDR). This means you’ll see a wider array of colours, brightness and contrast levels. Every different shade in luscious landscapes on nature documentaries will pop. Movies will be ultra-vivid and the colours more true-to life. Without HDR, your TV will have a duller, less sharp image.
Discover more with Dolby Vision
Dolby are big players in audio, visual and voice technologies. Plenty of 4K TVs now support Dolby Vision, their advanced form of HDR. It gives content creators more range and viewers better visuals and colour. With this technology, you can even see the smallest details in a night shot or bright sunlight.
Feel future-proof
We all want technology that stands the test of time. This is especially true for TVs which often last people 5-10 years. Of course, it’s tempting to rent a cheaper model that runs in 1080p but manufacturers now save all their best updates, specs and benefits for 4k and above. Choose 4K and you’re bound to be pleased with the quality for years to come.
More affordable than you think
Great technology doesn’t have to come with an eye-watering price tag. Hiya! offer 4k TV pay weekly, so you can break down the cost into smaller, more affordable chunks. Plus, we charge the lowest possible flat fee with no hidden costs.
