When buying a new TV in 2018, nearly any set above 40 inches will feature both technologies, even ones normally priced below $300. But don't let the acronyms fool you. It is important to know what you're buying and where you might actually benefit from this technology.

Here are a few things to keep in mind.

HDR

Also known as high dynamic range, HDR automatically adjusts the colors and contrasts of a picture, making scenes more realistic. For instance, with richer colors and a sharper picture, you'll notice HDR when watching really bright or really dark scenes in movies, with those moments looking more realistic.

Often synonymous with 4K and Ultra HD, which are roughly four times the resolution of HD, or high definition, HDR often will be the more appreciated of the two technologies, especially for movie lovers and gamers, who appreciate the added sharpness.

But in order to see HDR shine, you'll need the right shows to stream, movies to watch or game systems to play. Not all programming has it. More on this below.
