You have questions. We have answers. The Digital Trends community has tons of great AV questions and we're going answer them in our new series: You Asked.
Contents This is our first installment of a new series we’re calling “You Asked” because, well, many of you have asked me a lot of questions. And while I do my best to reply to them — in our YouTube comments, Instagram DMs, Twitter or … X or whatever it’s called, even via email — there is just not enough time in the day, week, month, year, decade, or what’s left of my lifetime to get to all of them.
But the higher resolution of those streams is only one element of picture quality for a TV’s processor. The issue with all streaming services, not just YouTube, is that the signal is compressed, and there will be missing information. This becomes most evident with large swaths of color on the screen; you’ll notice color banding when going from, say, a darker shade of green to a lighter one. The better the processing, the less color banding you will get.
There are some exceptions though. If your TV and receiver don’t both support eARC, then it may not support the best available audio signals. For instance, Dolby Atmos would be delivered via compressed and slightly lossy Dolby Digital Plus versus lossless Dolby True HD — and I do think you can hear the difference. Also, if you have more devices than you have HDMI inputs, it may make more sense to use your AV receiver or preamp/processor as the hub.
I’ll address the second part first by saying that I feel like there’s this misnomer floating around that super-bright TVs will prevent you from a washed-out picture and reflections caused by lots of bright light coming into a room. Ultra-bright TVs will produce a better-looking picture in bright rooms than non-ultra-bright TVs. But the picture will always be a little washed-out, and reflections will always be there, no matter how good the antiglare treatment might be.
First, let me say that it is hard for me to report on reliability as a reviewer because I so rarely get to test TVs for many years. I do keep in touch with friends and family to see how their TV brands and models are doing year after year. But that’s a small sample size, so any conclusions I draw would be too anecdotal.
Well, it’s not technically a question, but I’m sure glad that comment was posted because I think a lot of folks feel the same way, and that includes me!
