Staff Reporter, Dhaka : Remember when television sets were big, heavy boxes in the corner, playing programmed shows and not much more? The early stages of those television sets were simple and straightforward: a screen to passively watch news or pre-scheduled shows, with limited control and absolutely no customization. Fast forward to now, the television has become a smart, adaptable device that conforms to our smart lifestyles.
Imagine starting your mornings with a TV that plays your morning workout videos, switching later to a crisp and clear screen for your work slides, and finally, turning into a cozy home theatre mode for evening movies with family. This transformation is how new
TVs have moved beyond mere entertainment devices to being active companions that fit perfectly into our lives.
Old TVs were simple. Picture quality was substandard, and sound often lacked depth or clarity. Additionally, one could never set up a TV opposite a window for fear of sunlight washing out the image. On the other hand, modern TVs can now automatically adapt picture and sound to the content and environment. Scenes packed with action, with lots of bright lights, are sharpened for details and clarity, while quiet dramas are enhanced with richer, more detailed audio. Some TVs even adapt to the sound of the acoustics
within your room so you can always hear the dialogue without having to turn up the volume. With improved screen coatings, adaptive visuals, and audio, watching TV is now convenient at all times of the day.
Notably, even controlling the TVs is now easier than before. You can control many smart TVs with voice control or just your phone. Newer models of these smart TVs support features such as gesture control, which means you can now change channels or volume with just a simple flick of your hand instead of using a remote. The fact that you don’t have to rely on a remote or complex menu makes TVs even more convenient to use and more accessible for everyone, regardless of their age, physical ability, or familiarity with tech. Some of the latest Samsung TVs include most of these technologies, including the universal gesture controls, demonstrating how smart
technology is subtly creeping into our day-to-day lives without demanding our constant attention.
Ultimately, the television is no longer merely ‘the big screen in the corner’ of our homes.
It is now an intelligent, responsive companion that can support health, work, play, and so much more by shaping picture, sound, and simplicity into modes that reflect the shifting rhythm of modern living.
