Specifications to Look for while Buying Android Smartphone / Tablet

• Operating System

• Hardware Configurationa. Ramb. Memory(Internal/External)c. Network Servicesd. OS Versione. Motherboard type

• Service

• Camera There are a number of other factors that you must pay attention to like the optical zoom. A camera

with lower megapixels that offers optical image stabilization and/or optical zoom could be a better option than a camera with higher megapixels that does not offer OIS or optical zoom.

• Display

You need to choose the display that best suits your need and fits into your budget.

• Apple (Retina Display), Sony (BRAVIA), Samsung (Super AMOLED Plus), Nokia (Clear Black) all use their own display technologies to enhance the viewing experience.

• So how many megapixels do you really need? A megapixel rating tells you how many pixels there are in a photo. If it measures 4,000 by 2,000 pixels, multiply the two numbers to get 8 million, so it’s an 8-megapixel photo.

TV Buying Guide – Specs & Comparisons

1. Size Does Matter For bedrooms, we generally recommend a screen that is at least 32 inches, while living rooms or other viewing rooms

generally fare better with a 40-inch screen or larger.2. Plasma vs. LCD vs. LED Once you decide on the desired screen size, you need to choose a display type. Flat screen TVscome in a couple of different

platforms: plasma, LCD, and LED.LCD• Size: 19 inches to 65 inches• Makes: Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Vizio, and more• Best for: General use in brighter rooms where potential flaws won’t be as visible as they would be in dark rooms.• Pros: Light energy usage compared to plasma models. Matte screens work well in bright rooms.• Cons: Dark-room performance is usually worse than plasma. These models also provide minimal viewing angles and

uniformity.LED• Size: 32 inches and larger• Makes: Sony, Vizio, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and more• Best for: Big spenders who want thin panels.• Pros: Better energy savings than LCD. Many LED models offer super thin panels, and some models have improved picture

quality.• Cons: Expensive – sometimes prohibitively so. Also, most LED TVs offer little picture quality benefit over LCD.Plasma• Size: 42 inches and larger• Makes: Panasonic, Samsung, LG• Best for: General use, except in bright-room viewing. Aficionados who put a premium on dark-room picture quality may

appreciate a plasma TV.• Pros: Superior black-level performance, uniformity, and viewing angles.• Cons: High power consumption. Also, the glass screen can reflect light in bright rooms.

Specifications That Don’t Really Matter

• Refresh Rate (60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz, 480Hz, 600Hz): The refresh rate refers to the number of times an image is refreshed on the screen. The main reason that this is a highly touted feature is because LCD TVs have long had a reputation for having a blurry display during high-action scenes. But what manufacturers don’t tell you is that the human eye can’t perceive the blur at even the lowest refresh rate (60Hz).

• Resolution (720p, 1080p): I’m sure you’ve heard the commercials touting the importance of having an HDTV that can produce images in true high def (1080p). The problem is that even though most TVs of today are 1080p, you can’t tell any significant difference between this resolution and the less expensive 720p models – unless you have a super-sized screen.

• Viewing Angle: The ideal TV stays bright and colorful when viewed from any angle. But the truth is, with LCD TVs, this never happens, despite the manufacturer’s claims to the contrary. The rule of thumb here is that if you have viewing angles that stray too far from dead center, then you will most likely be happier with a plasma TV.

Basic Features That Do Matter

• Inputs: The inputs are the connection points where you attach your peripheral equipment. The most important thing to remember here is to get a TV with as many HDMI ports as possible. This allows you to easily connect your video game system, video player, and home audio system. If you have older peripherals with other types of connections, make sure that the TV you choose has those connections available as well.

• Screen Finish: If bright-room viewing is going to be a mainstay of your viewing experience, you need your TV to have a matte finish. This cuts down on ambient light glare and reflections. However, this may be a problem for you if you are looking for a few other features, as the higher-end LCDs and plasmas tend to come with glossy screens only.

• Remote Control: Unless you plan to use a universal remote to cut down on remote clutter, pay special attention to the included clicker. Some models have remotes that allow you to program peripheral equipment controls into its interface, and larger TVs should include a backlit model.

• Picture Controls: Everyone likes to see the picture a little differently. Some like a darker picture, while others like it brighter. Bringing the colors in line might also be a challenge if you are missing picture controls. Look for TVs with plenty of picture presets, as well as the ability for users to tweak those presets to optimize the picture.

• Ease of Use and Support: User-friendly TVs are the only way to go, especially in the world of multi-feature models. Look for easy-to-use menu systems that allow you to intuitively set the TV to perform the way you want. I personally love onscreen manuals that include product support sections including phone numbers, troubleshooting steps, and setup guides.

Determining Which Extras You Need• 3D: At-home 3D content is a relatively new technology – most manufacturers hit the market with this in 2010. Only higher-

end manufacturers are offering TVs that have at-home 3D capability, and they charge quite a premium. • Internet Connectivity: Mid-range to higher-end TVs now offer integrated Internet capability, which eliminates the need to

connect your TV via wired connection to stream audio and video content from sites like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Prime.

• LED Backlight: LCD-based TVs that utilize LED technology are significantly more expensive than those that rely on the standard fluorescent (CCFL) backlights. Unless this technology is also accompanied by the use of local dimming, there really isn’t any advantage to spending the additional cash on the LED technology. Of course, LED TVs can be manufactured with razor-thin panels, so if the look is a must-have, then LED backlighting is for you.

Necessary Accessories• While the selection of add-ons for flat screen TVs is overwhelming, there are a few that you simply should not do without.

However, this doesn’t mean you should pay a fortune for them:

• Buy Cheap HDMI Cables. Don’t let a salesman talk you into purchasing expensive HDMI cables – the cheap ones are just as good as the expensive ones.

• Get a Surge Protector. No consumer should gamble with their new investment by plugging it directly into the wall. Get a surge protector – it won’t give you a better picture, but not having one could definitely put a dent in your viewing experience.

A surge protector (or surge suppressor) is an appliance designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. A surge protectorattempts to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold

• Consider Room Treatments. Watching TV in a brightly lit room results in a washed-out picture and an unpleasant viewing experience. You don’t need to build a home movie theater room, but I firmly recommend that consumers equip a viewing room with room darkening curtains to block out some of the sunlight. This prevents image fade on the screen, as well as reflection and glare.
