Today’s televisions are saturated with various technologies, and manufacturers are more than ever trying to use more such technologies to better compete with other companies. Amidst such a deluge of information, one can easily get lost and fall for marketing slogans.
In the article below, you will find out which technologies currently used in TVs make a difference and what you should pay attention to when buying new equipment.
While watching a movie in the theater, you’ve noticed many speakers in the room, and the music and dialogues come at you from different directions. This happens due to the use of surround sound, which is reproduced in sync with what you see on the screen. That means that if, for instance, someone calls out a character from the left in a scene, your left ear is the one that will hear it. Similar technologies have also been used for some time in televisions. Still, these do not have a system of 20 speakers surrounding your head.
More often than not, this “magic” is due to Dolby Atmos surround sound. The technology from Dolby allows for a sound that seems to surround you from all sides. This happens because an appropriate sound mixing technique creates the illusion of a “three-dimensional” sound.
This results in a feeling of being thrown into the middle of a theater room, enveloped by the speakers, while playing movies and TV series. Of course, the quality of this effect will depend largely on the quality of the built-in speakers, so check their power in addition to Dolby Atmos certification.
