Resolution, processing power, screen technology, and video and audio formats all inform the quality of the smart TV, and all the ways it can serve effectively as your home entertainment hub. A sometimes overlooked, and easily confusing spec is refresh rate. It’s a simple component that companies often conflate or obscure when selling TVs to customers.
