TVs & Smart TVs: 4K, OLED & QLED Televisions | Walmart

OLED stands for "organic light-emitting diode," and the pixels emit their own light. QLED stands for "quantum dot LED," and the pixels rely on the LED backlight with more similarities to LCD screens. OLED screens tend to have improved contrast and a wider range of viewing angles compared to QLED while QLED screens tend to be brighter than OLED.

Resolution refers to the number of pixels that make up the picture display. Higher resolution means more pixels and a sharper picture. 8K resolution is four times the resolution of 4K, and 4K resolution is four times the resolution of FHD. The ranking of resolution from sharpest to least is 8K, 4K, FHD, and HD.

Refresh rate describes the how many time per second a picture is refreshed, so the faster the refresh rate, the quicker the image is displayed and updated on the screen. An average TV user would be well suited with 60Hz while gamers would want to look at 120Hz and above.

HDR stands for high dynamic range. This can enhance the TV brightness, contrast, and color to help the picture appear more real life like.

Most important tip in transporting your new TV is to make sure the TV is sitting upright, even in the box. Laying the TV on its backside or screen risks damage in transportation. You will want to measure the length and height of the TV in the box and then measure the space in your car. Best practice is to also have two people to carry the TV, especially if you are going to mount it.

Fixed-position mounts position TVs almost flush with the wall. A fixed TV mount is a type of TV mount that affixes the television to the wall in a fixed position. Unlike other types of TV mounts, such as tilting or full-motion mounts, a fixed mount does not allow for any movement or adjustments once the TV is installed. This type of mount is best for those who prefer a clean, minimalist look and want their TV to be securely mounted in one place without any tweaking.

Tilting mounts tilt up and down to reduce glare or reflections from lights and windows. A tilted TV mount is a type of TV mount that allows the user to adjust the angle of the television screen. With a tilted mount, the TV can be tilted forward or backward, enabling the viewer to find the ideal viewing angle. This type of mount is useful for installations where the TV is mounted higher than the viewer's seated position, such as in a bedroom or above a fireplace. Tilted TV mounts are available in a range of styles and sizes, and can accommodate flat screen TVs of varying thicknesses and weights.

Full-motion mounts extend, retract, tilt and swivel to bring the best viewing angle to every seat in a room. A full motion TV mount is a type of TV mount that allows for a wide range of movement and flexibility when adjusting the position of the TV. It typically allows for tilting, swiveling, and extending the TV, giving you the ability to adjust the viewing angle and position to suit your needs. Some full motion TV mounts even allow for vertical adjustment, so you can raise or lower the TV as needed. This type of mount is ideal for use in large rooms or open spaces where you may need to adjust the position of the TV to avoid glare or optimize viewing angles.
