How not to buy a "pig in a poke" if you can check a new device in an online store only visually? 3 simple tips.

Checking the TV upon purchase

Check the packaging and contents of the product:

  • the packaging must be undamaged;
  • the presence of a remote control, cables and correctly filled documentation is required - a technical passport, a warranty card and a check. The latter is completed by the seller, indicating the date of sale, the warranty period and sealed. The warranty card helps you obtain service. Therefore, keep your documents in a safe place. Please note that the serial number on the coupon must match the number on the TV;
  • the presence of protective films on the body and stand. Chrome elements or metal panels must be free of scratches or other defects.

Checking the TV for dead pixels

If you buy a TV during the cold season, do not rush to check its operation after delivery. The device must warm up at room temperature for 2 hours for condensation on the panel surfaces to evaporate.

In our store, LCD TVs are checked upon purchase by competent specialists with experience, the necessary skills and equipment. They will professionally install and connect any equipment purchased on F.ua, as well as check for dead pixels on the TV.

To check your TV for dead pixels yourself:

  • download full-screen images of static images to a USB device,
  • turn on the TV, activate viewing and launch applications,
  • with the help of the color tints of the image, it is easy to detect dead pixels on the screen in the form of a flickering point on a light background or color - on a dark one.

Checking an LCD TV for grayscale

To ensure the quality of the matrix, test the device for dynamic resolution and grayscale in the "Cinema" mode.

The optimal range of gradations is 16-235. The more shades of gray the matrix displays, the better the picture details on a dark background.

Pay attention to the smoothness of the transitions in the movements. They must be clearly distinguishable and not double.
