Curved UHDTV

Recently a new curved UHDTV was introduced that sparked consumer demand for this new technology, a television featuring a curved design.  Curved UHDTVs will blend their innovative curved television design with advanced UHDTV technology.  Understanding how these televisions deliver an outstanding theatrical immersive experience that changed how the world watches television provides a great technical guidance when installing a new curved television on a wall. 

Technical Benefits

Wider Field of View

The curved screen on UHDTVs gives videos a presence not felt on flat screens whilst a wider field of view creates a panoramic effect that makes the display seem even bigger than it is.  The curved design creates a balanced and uniformed viewing distance for a more true-to-life viewing experience with improved viewing angles and higher contrast from different viewing positions, so everyone watching has the best seat in the house.

4x the Resolution and Pixels

With 4x the resolution and pixels of full HD, an UHDTV provides unsurpassed picture quality in 4K resolution.  Greatly in part to UHD (Ultra High Definition) upscaling featured on ultra HDTVs, these televisions provide the best possible picture even if the signal is being broadcasted at a lower resolution.  The proprietary technology converts full HD, HD and lower resolution sources to nearly-UHD clarity through a unique four-step process that includes signal analysis, noise reduction, detail analysis and upscaling, so everything looks better on UHD televisions.  Ultra High Definition Dimming technology also optimizes resolution quality by delivering improved contrast and deeper blacks.

Up-Scaling

UHD Up-scaling processing enhances broadcast television shows and movies as well as video on demand and more.  First, it takes the source signal, whether it’s Full HD, HD, or even SD! and analyses it.  Then, it reduces the noise and scales up lower resolution content.  Finally, it actually enhances the detail.  Whatever the audience is watching, the UHD television can upscale it to enjoy near UHD picture quality right away.

Technological Milestone Has Been Reached

Without a doubt the new curved UHDTV sets the pace for innovation, design and content across the audio and video industry.  It certainly is a new technological milestone that has been recently reached and that in some sort of way retrofits technologies from the past that now are discontinued and are better suited for recycling centers (remember the old non flat screens? ) and combines it with new audio visual advances of this century to create a completely new high tech product.

Hide Audio and Video Cables When Mounting a TV

Understanding all the ways audio and video cables can be hidden is critical for a professional looking television mounting.  With all the different kinds of audio and video cables and all the technologies that these cables share very often unplanned problems can happen that need a crafty fix.  Knowing the best ways to hide audio and video cables is a fantastic starting point to mount and install a television.

Hide Audio and Video Cables

Track Molding Less Than 1 Hour Installation

Track molding is the plastic type trim with adhesive on the back and a hollow interior designed to hold wiring inside.  Open the track molding and insert the audio and video cables in the middle, then seal the track molding with the superior part, remove the adhesive cover, align the track molding and then press firmly against the surface.  The trim molding may also be decorated or painted so it matches much better with the color of the wall.

Wall Fishing 1-2 Installation Hours

Wall Fishing is described as running audio and video cables inside a wall and since there are different types of walls this method can be a challenging task.  It involves cutting out two openings on the wall that will work as an outlets when the work is completed, then inserting a flexible rod inside the wall and then guiding the flexible rod to the other opening.  After successfully inserting the flexible rod, tape the audio and video cables to one end and route the cabling to the designated destination.

Drilling Holes Through Studs 1 – 2 Installation Hours

When drilling holes through studs, a square opening of approximately 20 inches by 20 inches needs to be cut out on the drywall first.  Then a cordless drill holding a drill bit of at least one inch diameter will need to be inserted in the opening, a hole will be required to be made through the wood stud, then the audio and video cables can be installed through the stud.  Some damage on the wall is expected due to wall notching or stud drilling and is totally anticipated with the procedure.  It is highly recommended to repair the wall opening only after making certain the television is mounted, the audio and video cables are connected properly and everything is fully functional.

Carpet Fishing 1 – 2 Installation Hours

Carpet fishing is required when audio and video cables need to be installed under the carpet.  This particular method requires specially designed flat cables that can be easily installed between the carpet and its padding.  The cabling will be commonly directed through low-traffic areas in order to avoid wear or tear on the cables.  Starting by pulling up the carpet, normally around where the cabling would be run to or from.  Next, feed carpeting tape from the beginning towards the end of run and then tape the cabling tightly to the carpeting tape and then lastly fish the cabling through the carpet until the right location is reached.  This technique is best suited for two individuals  –  One to feed the cabling and the other one to help pulling the cable out of the carpet.

 

 

 

Complete Awareness of What Is Necessary to Hide Audio and Video Cables

It is highly recommended that all the possible precautions are considered before installing audio and video cables inside the walls.  Following city and building regulations is paramount at all times when hiding cabling inside a wall.  Additionally, remember that fishing the cabling is only one part of what is necessary to professionally install a television.  Television height, television mounts, types of audio and video cables, audio and video components to be integrated and several more steps required to successfully complete a project of this type need to be evaluated before even starting.
