Explain the initial settings required for untuned TVs and answer questions such as differences from monitors】 -INTERNET Watch

It also has a video engine etc and it’s not just a “big screen”

The most common response was, “After all, it’s a big screen, right?” This is true in that it has a display and you can’t receive broadcast TV, but there are actually more “TV-like” features.

In terms of TV similarity, the most important thing is the video engine optimization function. Video can be optimized for content such as sports, movies, and games, and the 4K model also comes with a hardware conversion function that improves video resolutions that were originally lower than 4K.

Some displays are equipped with video engines, but they are not intended for use as televisions, and many are not suitable for video content. In addition, the screen does not have speakers in some products. In this case, it is necessary to separate the HDMI audio separately and connect it to an amplifier, but TVs that are not tuned have speakers as standard.

In addition, with non-tuner TVs, a series of operations such as setup and input switching can be completed using the remote control. This is not always the case with displays.

Tunerless TV uses a video engine to enjoy the video. It can be set and used according to the content

The assumed user distance is also different for untuned displays and TVs. The screen is optimized for close range operation, and 50 volts and above are hardly suitable for home use. The larger ones are mainly used for commercial digital signage. On the other hand, televisions are meant to be viewed from a distance of several meters, so there are many products of the 50V or higher type.

You can cancel NHK even if you remove the antenna

Regarding NHK’s cancellation, there was a view that NHK could be canceled even if the antenna was removed from the existing television. Sure, in the previous article I explained mainly assuming the replacement is from a regular TV, but if the antenna can be removed freely, as when living in a separate house, there is also a way to remove the antenna. he.

You can decide whether to use an existing TV without an antenna + external streamer or a TV without a tuner with the antenna as is, depending on your living environment and when you replace it. There is no difference in use. In addition, if you replace your TV with an untuned TV, you can use your Home Appliance Recycling Card when disposing of your existing TV or the certificate you receive when you replace your TV with an untuned TV to ensure a disposal certificate when you cancel an NHK.

It is inevitable that the smart TV operating system will become obsolete

There seems to be concern that the operating system and functions built into the smart TV may become outdated. This is inevitable, and considering that it will be used for 5 to 10 years, there is a risk that it will not be possible to update to the latest operating system in the middle.

Assuming such a case, we plan to complete the method of introducing an additional external streaming device in a future series. If you’re currently using the Fire TV series, you should be able to use this much more smoothly.
