Being on the cutting-edge can get expensive. Maybe you've noticed. As someone who thinks of themselves as an early adopter, I've spent my whole life finding ways to make high-tech experiences as affordable as possible.
A perfect example is my wish for an OLED TV. My dad bought one for himself last year, and I was so jealous. As we sat on the couch and he played a game piloting his spacecraft, my jaw was on the floor. The depth of the inky blacks made everything pop off the screen. I've wanted one for myself ever since but didn't feel like I could swing the price.
That's why the Sansui 55-inch OLED TV is such a gift. While most of the similar models I've looked at clock in at around $1,300, this Sansui OLED is the first to hit the U.S. market as low as $799, finally giving me access to that high-end image I've been looking for.
Detail and depth
The main selling point of an OLED TV is the visual fidelity. Since OLED screens don't require backlighting, the images are incredibly crisp. The deep blacks offer nuance and detail so you won't miss a clue when you're quietly sneaking through a dark room in a video game.
On the flip side, the colors are vibrant and realistic. OLED TVs allow for more contrast, so the images really pop. Toss on your favorite show and see for yourself. The dough prepared by your favorite British baker has never looked crisper. This is all in addition to Dolby Vision optimizing your image in real time. Whether it's the endless depths of deep space or the vivid colors of your kid's favorite cartoon, this technology will immerse you in whatever is on your TV.
Those colors aren't worth much, though, if your screen is blurry and stuttering. The Sansui 55-inch OLED TV comes with a 120Hz refresh rate. I keep talking about gaming because that's a huge portion of what I use my TV for. If you're playing an online FPS or just trying to beat your last lap in a racing game, you need a TV that is fluid and responsive. This is a refresh rate that will keep up with you. With frame rates climbing all the time, you need a TV that gives you an accurate, up-to-the-millisecond image. This refresh rate supplies smooth gameplay and no motion blur, making sure the input lag is minimal.
Not just a pretty picture
The immersion doesn't stop at the imagery, though. Dolby Atmos offers a rich sound environment by creating multidimensional audio. Want to know when someone is trying to sneak up behind you in a game? Watching an action movie and want to hear the bullets whizzing by your head? The Dolby Atmos technology in this TV can make that happen.
Not everyone has a super-advanced sound setup, though, and that's OK. This TV includes a built-in 2.1 channel audio system. That includes a 40-watt subwoofer, providing punch to whatever you're watching. You don't need a soundbar to get an immersive audio experience. This TV gives it to you without cluttering up your entertainment center.
Your entertainment hub
OLED technology is still relatively new, and this TV will impress everyone in the room. Get a group together to binge a show while everyone marvels at the picture. Play a game and jump at every surrounding sound in the pitch black. Throw a party and give your guests a shot at the AI-powered karaoke. Just pull up a song on your favorite video streaming service, and this feature removes the vocals in real time. Hope you know the words, though.
The ultra-slim 4.6 mm design fits in any room, and the $799 price tag is relatively easy on most wallets. Money is tighter than ever for a lot of folks. That doesn't mean you need to miss out on the latest tech. This 55-inch OLED TV will allow more people than ever to dig into their entertainment. I don't have to be jealous of my dad's TV anymore.
