Many new audio video entertainment technologies have become commonplace in the recent years, but none have progressed as far and as quickly as video displays. After the introduction of High Definition television displays in 1998, the format has evolved and grown more capable ever since. We look back on standard DVDs and the monitors designed for that type of resolution as artifacts of the past. Transitioning from 640x480 lines of resolution to 1280x720 and 1080x1920 seemed amazing in its day, but now screens with 4096 x 2160 (4K) and 7680 × 4320 (8K) resolutions are becoming the standard. Content is never far behind, and in some cases is actually the driving force behind the emergence of these standards.

Why upgrade?
While it may seem difficult to keep up with the pace of new products in the consumer electronics market, the most popular form of home entertainment still involves watching movies or other video content. Your 40 inch 1080p high definition TV may seem adequate to enjoy the latest movies, but if you experience the same content on a 65 inch 4K display, it will quickly become obvious what you have been missing.

Is my old HDTV worth anything?
The short answer is yes. If your HDTV is in good condition and proper working order, it is definitely worth something. It might end up being a great unit for a student moving away to college or someone that needs another TV for a bedroom or kids gaming setup. There is an average of 2.3 TVs in an American home, so there is always a demand for them. And most people do not buy the cutting edge product for a guest room or kitchen location. But even if you do, we’ve got you covered. Give us a call or swing by the shop to see what your TV is worth, and possibly upgrade to the coolest, newest technology on the market!
