As we greet the coming year, some significant developments have begun to shape up in the world of TV displays. Consumers can expect more 8K displays from their favourite brands and a few upgrades in LCD technology to address its inherent weaknesses. In addition, experts anticipate some of the TV companies to offer customers OLED TVs.
But from the consumers’ point of view, the one trend that will likely stand out the most is that they’ll become cheaper and bigger. But how big exactly? Last year, 65-inch displays were a popular size, and analysts expect 70-inch to 80-inch displays to be the models that shoppers may willingly spend their hard-earned money on, making it an exciting year to buyers.

There was a time when 50-inch TVs appeared to be gigantic. However, these days, display screens that are 65 inches are commonplace. And next year, industry experts expect the prices for these sets to go down to encourage more shoppers to make a purchase. As a result, many predict that 60 to 70-inch sets will make up a sizable portion of sales.
Large sets are already available in some stores. And by the end of this year, these sets would have firmly supplanted their smaller counterparts as widespread and prevalent displays. And you can watch your favourite shows or play games at NetBet with these larger displays without spending more than you need.
Mini-LEDs will enhance LCD TVs
In the past couple of years, the OLED displays from popular brands like Sony and LG have topped the ratings, but LCD/LED sets account for a sizable bulk of the TVs found in homes, primarily because of their cheaper price points. And the LCD TVs are improving every year. One of the breakthroughs this year for LCDs is the miniature LED backlights by brands like TCL, LG, and Samsung.
The backlights will remain on in the set, and all the pixels will close and open to ensure that every scene gets the proper light amount. However, in darker scenes, some light may leak through. As a result, black tones may look grey, and halos around lit objects may form. With OLEDs, this issue is non-existent since it doesn’t have any backlight. Instead, each pixel will emit its own light, and you have the option of turning them off if you want, so the darker areas will remain as they should.
8K TVs
While the 8K sets are relatively new, they’ve taken up a small portion of all TV sales. The reason for this is the additional detail it offers over 4K displays is only evident with larger TVs, and they can carry sizable price tags. But next year, 8K is expected to be seen from a lot more brands with more modest screen sizes. However, even for all the pixels and sharper image quality it promises, it may not make sense for many people right now.
Conclusions
It’s not surprising that screen technology continues to evolve. With people today forced to stay at home because of the restrictions imposed upon by the pandemic, TVs are one of the few luxuries for entertainment that many are left with. And with these trends, you’ll be able to make an informed decision on what kind of TV will best fit your needs.
