Understanding Refresh Rates and Resolution Resolution refers to the pixel count, with 4K being the current standard for clarity. Refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), tells you how many times per second the image updates. A 120Hz display is significantly smoother for gaming and sports than a standard 60Hz model. ## Contrast and HDR High Dynamic Range (HDR) enhances the brightness and color depth of your content, making images pop. When shopping, look for TVs that support multiple HDR formats to ensure your screen can handle diverse movie and gaming requirements effectively.
