Sometimes, Alexa can be a little disruptive. There are definitely times when their input is unwanted, and if you’ve reached the point where you want to turn them off, they’ve probably worn your patience very, very thin.

Unfortunately, sometimes Alexa just won’t turn off – seemingly ignoring your command and souring your mood even further! Why won’t my Alexa just turn off?

Echo devices aren’t trying to be spiteful – there’s probably some active setting preventing Alexa from accepting the command to turn off. Your Alexa might be muted, in sleep mode (w/follow up enabled), or simply not connected to the internet.  If you just want Alexa to shut off right now, remember that unplugging your Echo device is always an option!

We’ll be going over some of the most common reasons why Alexa won’t turn off – and exactly what you need to do to wrap all of these problems up in no time flat!

Why Won’t My Alexa Turn Off?

Alexa could be Muted

If your Echo device is muted, Alexa won’t be able to respond or even hear your commands. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to tell if your Echo device is muted – there’ll be a solid red ring light that won’t go away. To unmute your Echo device, press the mute button again. Alternatively, use this voice command, “Alexa, unmute.”.

It’s also possible to unmute your Echo device on the Alexa app, but it’s the most tedious option available given all the menus you have to go through.

Alexa may be in Sleep Mode (w/ Follow Up Enabled)

Alexa’s “Sleep mode” is a setting that mutes your device and disables notification updates. This minimizes disruptions and reduces power consumption (relevant if you were using battery bases), but Alexa will become a lot less responsive.

While you should be able to tell Alexa to turn off even with Sleep Mode active, it has a unique interaction with Follow-Up Mode that removes this option. If Follow-Up Mode is active, Alexa will simply enter a low-power mode instead of shutting off entirely. Repeated commands will simply be disregarded, which can make it seem like Alexa is ignoring you!

Here’s how you can turn off Follow-Up mode in the Alexa app:

1. Look for your device of choice (Under “Echo & Alexa”).
2. Click the “Device Settings” icon on the upper right.
3. Disable “Follow-Up” mode from your menu.

Alexa Isn’t Connected to the Internet

Alexa doesn’t just process complex data through Amazon servers – it processes everything that needs “thinking”, and even the most rudimentary inquiries aren’t exempt from this.

Without Wi-fi, Alexa can’t “think” period. It still maintains schedules or routines and can play music on demand with Bluetooth, but it won’t be capable of independent data interpretation.

Even a voice command as simple as “Alexa, turn off” won’t be understood by your Echo device without the support of Amazon’s cloud-based servers!

If Alexa can’t connect to Wi-fi, it won’t be able to take voice requests – even just to turn itself off! Instead, it’ll say something along the lines of, “Sorry, something went wrong.”, which, fortunately, makes it a very easy problem to identify.

Manually Unplugging Your Echo Device is Always an Option!

If Alexa isn’t shutting down despite the changes made (or if you’ve just lost your patience), remember that unplugging your Echo device from the wall socket is a perfectly safe option! It won’t damage your Alexa at all – in fact, it’ll clear residual electricity and temporary files, improving your overall performance!

Do note that if you abruptly unplug an Echo device, you may have to manually pair it back with your smart home hub once it boots back up. It also won’t retain your music playback progress, so your Echo device will start playing any running albums from the top again.

Final Thoughts

It can be annoying when Alexa won’t turn off, but it’s usually due to settings rather than glitches or software problems. All you have to do is go through your Alexa app to sort it out, and you’ll probably be done in a matter of minutes. If you just want Alexa to stop making weird noises though, don’t be afraid to simply yank out the power cable!

Some people enjoy falling asleep to music or white noise, so being able to set your Alexa up to play music all night long would help create a comfortable atmosphere for them to unwind.

Others may want to set up awesome, memorable parties, and getting Alexa to play music all night long is a great way to keep everyone’s energy up.

It’s pretty easy to set Alexa up to play music all night, but be mindful of the inactivity timer built into your device’s settings. There are also a few more elements to keep in mind.

• Ensure your device has stable power
• Keep it connected to the internet all night long
• Make sure the playlist is long (Loop short playlists)
• Disable profanity filters to improve your listening experience

If you’re aiming for uninterrupted music playback on your Alexa, we know just how to help set that up. We’ll walk you through the steps you need to make your nights more enjoyable – no matter what kind of night you’re aiming to have!

Setting Alexa Up to Play Music All Night

Setting Alexa up to play music all night is as simple as asking her to do so!

1. Select your playlist of choice on Spotify or Soundcloud.
   • Make sure it’s linked to your Amazon account first
2. Ask Alexa to play that content, “Alexa, play”
3. Alexa will continue for the duration of the playlist.
   • To extend that, “Alexa, loop for [x] hours.”
4. (Optional) Set a sleep timer.

Inactivity Timer

It’s important that you understand Alexa has a built-in inactivity timer. This feature is designed to prevent your Alexa device from wasting power and takes precedence over loop requests.

For example, if you asked Alexa to loop a song for four hours, your device would shut down well before that request is completed. Alexa devices have their inactivity timers set at two hours by default, though you can change this in the settings menu.

1. Open your Alexa app.
2. Select the device you plan to modify.
3. Choose the “Settings” tab.
4. Scroll down until you reach “Your Device”
5. Modify your Inactivity timer to your preferences.
   • Your options would be “15 minutes”, “30 minutes”, “1 hour”, or “2 hours”.
   • You could also disable it entirely by selecting “Off” in the above menu.

It’s important to note that older Alexa devices may not be able to modify this feature in the Alexa app settings. Using the voice command “Alexa, leave on.” may be able to circumvent the issue and allow you to play music on Alexa all night long.

What You Need to Keep Alexa Playing Music All Night Long

If you want your Alexa to play music all night long, you’ll need to clear these hurdles first.

Power

Alexa needs a steady power supply to remain functional, and a disconnected device will stop your night-long music stream cold.

This is important for Alexa devices using battery bases, as these can last anywhere between five to fifteen hours from a full charge. Given that you’ll be using their speakers to stream content all night long, your device’s power is going to drain at a significant rate.

A wired Alexa is ideal for sustained power. If you must rely on a battery base for your Alexa, be sure to charge it completely first.

Internet Connection

Alexa will need a reliable connection to the internet to stream content all night long. If your Wi-fi signal isn’t steady, your Alexa might start to display a red ring light. In this situation, Alexa may still respond to your requests, but it won’t be able to play any music.

Streaming content with unstable Wi-fi has a high chance of causing your music to buffer intermittently, making for an unpleasant listening experience. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to party or go to bed: no one likes laggy music playbacks!

This element is in your internet service provider’s hands, but if you need to use your Alexa while the Wi-fi is down you could connect it to your phone’s data hotspot. It’s not something we’d personally spring for, but the option might be worth considering for some users.

Long (or Looped) Playlists

Alexa will only stream each song in a playlist once unless specified otherwise. If you have a long playlist, it won’t be a problem. If you don’t, your stream may cut off earlier than you’d like.

You can solve it with this command, “Alexa, loop this playlist”. Alexa will try to loop your selected playlist indefinitely, stopping only when sleep timers or inactivity timers kick in.

Disabled Profanity Filters

Profanity filters won’t pose a direct problem to your goal of getting Alexa to play music all night long but will become a nuisance to your listening experience in just about every other way.

Explicit content filers can prevent access to some music streaming services, skip songs with known explicit content, or worst of all, censor obscene sections with obnoxious sound effects.

Here’s how to quickly deal with this frustrating feature:

1. Open your Alexa app.
2. Tap “Devices” and pick the device you’re planning to use.
3. Select “Settings”
4. Scroll down to “Music & Podcasts”
5. Toggle “Explicit Language Filter” to your desired settings.
   • The “Off” position will disable it entirely.

Final Thoughts

Having Alexa play music all night long might be just the thing you need to unwind after a long day. You’ll have to put in a bit of prep work to make it happen, but we promise that it'll be well worth the effort. Just follow those guidelines above and you won’t be disappointed!

Having multiple Alexa units offers users a ton of convenience, but it’s very important that you separate all your Alexa devices first. Properly separated devices will be more responsive, more efficient, and much easier to personalize.

The best way to separate multiple Alexa devices is by using different Amazon accounts, which allows everyone to retain their personalized settings. While this comes at no additional cost, you’ll be restricted to a handful of accounts per Alexa household.

If you’re focused on reducing false or overlapped activations, make sure each Alexa is set to respond to a different wake word.  You could have your Alexa trained to recognize the voice profiles of people in your home. While personalized settings can’t be changed this way, you can assign unique Alexa routines to match each profile.

You can separate your Alexa devices in a few different ways, with each offering its own unique advantages. Pick whatever option – or options – would suit your household’s needs best.

Separating Multiple Alexa Devices (What to Do)

Create Separate Amazon Accounts for Each Alexa

Link to Account Creation

Creating separate Amazon accounts allows you to keep settings and preferences distinct. This can be done quickly at no cost, but you’ll be limited to about six accounts per Amazon household.

Specifically, an Amazon household is composed of two adult accounts and four teen or four child accounts, allowing everyone involved to share content and Amazon privileges.

If you’re just trying to separate your Alexa devices and settings between users, extra Amazon accounts are the simplest way to accomplish that. The difference between adult, teen, and child accounts is significant, so we’ll go over that in a bit more depth below.

• Child accounts (For users below 13 years old) don’t require email verification. They also won’t require users to provide payment methods upon account creation.
• Teen accounts (For users between 14-17 years old) will have their purchase history accessible by the main Alexa household account.
• Adult accounts enjoy the most freedom but are restricted to two per household.
  • The lead Alexa household account can remove the other adult’s account.
• All Amazon household members benefit from privileges owned by adult accounts (i.e., Amazon Prime, Prime Reading, Spotify, etc.)

All in all, if you only want a more convenient separation of Alexa devices in your household, child accounts are the way to go. Teen and adult accounts may offer more privileges, but will take up more time and personal information to get up and running. Do be mindful of each account’s distinct login information and privacy settings, as it’s pretty easy to lose track.

Set Each Alexa Up with a Different Wake Word

Another way you could separate many Alexa devices is by changing their wake word.

Wake words activate your Alexa unit, cueing it to prepare for a verbal request. Sometimes, Alexa can mistake other sounds for their wake word. Television, music, or even other units speaking up could trigger your Alexa device, causing it to light up randomly and listen in.

Here’s how you can change your wake word:

1. Go to the Alexa app
2. Select “More”, then navigate to “Settings”
3. Mouse over to “Your Profile and Household”
4. Select “Wake Word”
5. Choose your new wake word.
6. Save your changes.

The default wake word for Alexa units is “Alexa”, but you can replace it with any of the following options: “Amazon”, “Ziggy”, “Echo”, or “Computer”.

Make sure that Alexa devices in close proximity to one another don’t share wake words. This small change will not only reduce the likelihood of Alexa devices responding to one another but lower the overall risk of accidental activations (“false wakes”) in your household.

Have Each Alexa Tuned to A Different Voice Profile

This method will take a little more effort to accomplish – and unlike the prior suggestions, you need the people in your household to help directly. Other than this bit of extra tediousness, creating different voice profiles is an excellent way to separate your Alexa devices.

Alexa voice profiles are a fun feature that allows you to train Alexa to recognize your voice and manner of speaking. It offers a personalized experience with unique advantages such as…

• Being able to greet you by name
• Handle your alarms, timers, and calendar schedules
• Track and play your music (only when linked to your streaming account)
• Control smart devices, when set up properly

Here’s how you can set up voice profiles for your Alexa:

1. Open your Alexa app
2. Navigate to the “More” tab
3. Select “Settings”, then “Your Profile and Household”
4. Choose “Voice Profile”, and follow the on-screen instructions.
   • You’ll be asked to say a few phrases to let Alexa profile you.
5. (Optional) Personalize your voice profile.
6. Save your changes.

Having distinct voice profiles makes it easier for Alexa to recognize the current user and respond to their preferences appropriately. You can even assign routines to correspond with each voice profile, letting users further tailor their Alexa experience to their needs!

Alexa voice profiles also reduce the likelihood of false wakes occurring and even improve your Amazon account security (especially if you purchase items on your Alexa directly!).

While Alexa voice profiles are great for individualizing users, the main device’s settings won’t actually shift between voice profiles – for starters, the wake word will remain unchanged. For that reason, this approach works best when coupled with either (or both!) of the prior methods.

Final Thoughts

It’s important to separate multiple Alexa devices as soon as possible, as multiple linked units could overlap in functionality, inhibit Amazon account usage, or even trigger one another’s wake words.

1. Having multiple Amazon accounts is great to keep everyone’s preferences personalized to their profile.
2. Assigning different wake words will prevent the majority of false wakes from occurring.
3. Voice profiles are an excellent tool for minimizing account overlap between users, on top of substantially improving their Alexa account’s security.

When your Sharp TV displays a black screen but continues to produce sound, it signifies a video output problem while the audio functions remain intact.

Common Causes of Black Screen Issues

• Power Supply Issues: A malfunctioning or inadequate power supply can lead to insufficient voltage for the display although it might still allow for sound generation.
• Cable Connections: Faulty or loose HDMI or other video cable connections can disrupt the visual signal without affecting audio.
• Software Glitches: The TV's firmware may have encountered an error causing the image processing to halt.
• Hardware Failure: Critical components, such as the backlight or the screen itself, might have developed faults.

Diagnosing Audio Presence

• Check External Speakers (if connected): Determine if the sound is coming from an external audio system to confirm the TV's sound circuitry is operational.
• Internal Speaker Test: Use the TV's menu functions to conduct a sound test. This can usually be done even without on-screen display to ensure the internal speakers are working.

Troubleshooting Steps

When your Sharp TV displays a black screen with sound, addressing power-related issues and checking your connections can often rectify the problem. If these do not resolve the issue, a factory reset might be necessary.

Power Cycle Your Sharp TV

To address temporary glitches leading to a black screen, power cycling is a recommended step.

Turn off your TV and unplug it from the power source.

Wait for approximately one minute before plugging it back in and turning it on. This process can clear errors and might restore your TV's picture.

Inspection of Connections and Inputs

Inspecting cable connections is crucial, as loose or damaged cables can cause a black screen with sound.

Ensure that all cables connected to your TV are firmly plugged in and check for any visible signs of wear or damage.

If you are using an HDMI connection, try different ports on your TV to rule out a port-specific issue. You should also consider replacing your cables if they show signs of damage.

Resetting to Factory Settings

If previous steps fail, a factory reset may be your last resort.

Navigate to the settings menu using your remote and look for an option such as "Reset to factory settings" or "Restore default settings."

Be aware that this will erase all your configurations and require you to re-setup your TV.

Technical Interventions

Effective troubleshooting of a black screen issue on your Sharp TV with sound involves updating the TV firmware and inspecting hardware components for potential failures.

Firmware Updates

To address the black screen problem on your Sharp TV, checking for firmware updates is a crucial step.

Firmware is the software that controls the various functions of your television, and manufacturers sometimes release updates to fix bugs or improve performance.

Here is how you can check and update your TV's firmware:

1. Navigate to the Settings menu of your Sharp TV.
2. Select System or Support.
3. Choose Software Update.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to check for available updates.
5. If an update is available, select Download and Install.

It is essential to ensure your TV has a stable internet connection during this process. A power interruption or loss of internet connectivity during an update can cause further issues.

Hardware Component Checks

If firmware updates do not resolve the issue, the black screen may be due to a hardware malfunction.

Backlight failure is a common hardware issue that can cause your Sharp TV's screen to go black while sound remains.

To check the backlight functionality:

• Turn off the lights in the room and shine a flashlight at an angle against the screen while the TV is on. If you see a faint image, the backlight may not be working properly.

Some common hardware components that fail and cause black screens include:

• LED Strips: These provide the backlight for your screen. A short in one of the LEDs can cause the entire array to fail.
• Power Supply Board: If this component is defective, it can lead to insufficient power for the backlight.
• T-Con Board: This board is responsible for driving the pixels on the screen. A malfunction here can cause a visible image without backlighting.

Consider consulting a professional technician or the Sharp support center to inspect these components safely and effectively.

Attempting repairs on your own may void warranties or lead to further damage if not done correctly.

When your LG TV fails to turn on, addressing the power supply, power cord, and remote control battery can often reveal the root of the problem.

Checking the Power Supply

Ensure that your TV is properly connected to a functioning power outlet.

Verify the outlet by plugging in a different device. If the standby light is off, this suggests there may be a problem with the power supply to the TV.

Inspecting the Power Cord

Inspect the power cord for any visible damage, such as frays or breaks.

If the cord is damaged, replace it. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to both the TV and the power outlet.

Evaluating the Remote Control Battery

Weak or depleted batteries in the remote control may prevent the TV from turning on.

Replace the batteries if necessary and check if the TV responds. Ensure the correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

LG TV Internal Complications

When your LG TV fails to turn on, the issue may stem from internal complications involving its power-on cycle, main board, or LED backlights.

Understanding the Power-On Cycle

The power-on cycle initiates when you power on your TV. It is a sequence of events that the TV's system undergoes to boot up successfully. If this cycle is disrupted, your TV may fail to turn on.

To diagnose issues with the power-on cycle:

1. Verify if the standby light is on — this indicates that the TV is receiving power.
2. Press the power button on the TV itself instead of using the remote control, as the issue might be with the remote.
3. Unplug the TV for a moment, then plug it back in to reset the power cycle.

Identifying Main Board Failures

The main board, or motherboard, is the central hub for processing signals in your LG TV. If your TV won't turn on, this might be due to a main board malfunction.

Signs of main board issues include:

• No response to power button presses
• No standby light
• Inability of the TV to complete its booting sequence

It is often challenging to diagnose a main board failure without technical expertise, and you may require assistance from a professional technician.

Assessing the LED Backlights

Faulty LED backlights can prevent your LG TV from turning on, as they are responsible for illuminating the display.

To assess LED backlights:

• Listen for audio without picture, which suggests that the TV is on but the backlights are not working.
• Perform a flashlight test by shining a flashlight on the screen at a close distance to see if there is a faint image. This may indicate defective backlights.
• Note that fixing LED backlights typically requires disassembling the TV and replacing the faulty LED strips, a procedure best left to professionals.

Manufacturer Support and Service

When your LG TV fails to turn on, you may need to consider the warranty terms, reach out to customer support, or seek professional repair services depending on the issue's nature and your TV's warranty status.

Navigating Warranty Coverage

Before proceeding with any repair attempts, it's important for you to review your LG TV's warranty policy.

Understand the length of the warranty period, what coverage it includes, and any specific terms or conditions that could affect service eligibility.

Typical manufacturer warranties cover a range of defects or issues that are not a result of misuse or external damage. Keep a copy of your purchase receipt and warranty information as you'll need these documents to make a warranty claim.

Contacting LG Customer Service

If your LG TV is still within the warranty period or even if it isn't, contacting LG's customer service should be your next step.

LG provides multiple contact methods:

• Phone: Calling the customer support helpline is often the quickest way to get assistance.
• Online Support: You can find help through live chats, email support, or by filling out service request forms on LG's official website.
• Social Media: Customer service is also accessible through LG's social media platforms, which can be a convenient option if you're already active on these networks.

Prepare your TV’s model number, serial number, and a description of the issue before reaching out for efficient assistance.

Seeking Professional Repair Services

If customer service determines that your TV needs to be examined by a professional, or if your warranty has expired, you’ll need to find a reputable repair service.

You have a couple of options:

• LG Authorized Repair Service: This is generally recommended as it ensures that any parts used will be LG-certified and that the service personnel are trained to handle LG products.
• Independent Repair Shop: If there are no available authorized repair services near you, consider a well-reviewed local repair shop that has experience with LG TVs. Ensure they provide a warranty for their workmanship and replaced parts.

In terms of gaming, monitors are better than televisions (TVs) as they feature lower input lag, higher refresh rates, and greater perceivable pixel densities due to the shorter viewing distance. TVs excel in terms of screen real estate and image quality, especially at greater viewing distance.

Gaming Consoles

Video game consoles like Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo are capable of playing games via optical discs and digital downloads. Previous iterations of consoles made use of ROM cartridges as well as internal memory. Console games are then manipulated and controlled via a handheld device called a controller.

The most common output/display device for consoles is a television (TV). A TV allows the user(s) to view images at a greater viewing distance.

In many cases, consoles are also multi-media devices that allow for other applications like Netflix, Hulu, and other media players. For this reason, screen size (diagonal in inches) is greater than that of a monitor.

Gaming Computers

A gaming computer (PC), or gaming rig is a personal computer that is specifically designed to play video games. Gaming computers are comprised of a number of hardware components like graphics processing unit (GPU), motherboard, random access memory (RAM), and storage (solid state drive and hard disk drive).

Gaming computers are often custom-assembled, allowing the user to pick and choose compatible parts. However, pre-assembled machines do exist.

Unlike consoles, gaming rigs typically do not come with input devices like keyboard and mice or output devices like monitors.

Television vs Monitors for Gaming

There are several important metrics like resolution, screen size, pixel density as well as external factors like viewing distance and application to consider before making a decision.

Let's take a closer look:

Resolution

Resolution is one of the most important aspects of video display units. A display unit's resolution describes the visual dimensions expressed in "width x height."

Televisions typically come in 1920 x 1080 (Full HD or 1080p) or 4096 x 2160 (4K or 2160p); A 1920x1080 resolution has 2,073,600 pixels and a 4K resolution has 8,847,360 pixels.

Monitors also feature these resolutions as well as 2560 x 1440 (2K or 1440p); A 2560 x 1440 resolution has 3,686,400 pixels.

It's important to note, resolution is not directly related to screen size. Meaning you can have a 24" monitor and a 50" TV with the same resolution which displays the same exact image in terms of pixel count, only the television will appear larger.

Larger images will also be blurrier due to pixel density being affected.

Pixel Density

Pixel density describes the number of pixels there are in an inch of space; It is expressed as Pixels Per Inch or PPI.

Pixel Density is the ratio between a screen's size (diagonal in inches) and its resolution.

Pixel density is calculated as follows:

Assuming the same example screen sizes and resolutions:

• 4K Monitor: 4096 x 2160 @ 24 inches = 193 PPI
• 4K Television: 4096 x 2160 @ 50 inches = 93 PPI

Greater pixel densities result in clearer images, however viewing distance plays a huge role in how PPI is perceived.

Viewing Distance

The human eye is capable of resolving various densities of PPI. However, the ability to do so is affected by the distance between the display and the viewer.

As outlined above, the smaller the screen size, the more dense the pixels. In order for a viewer to be able to discern a difference, they need to be closer to the display.

The following chart by Carlton Bale demonstrates situations where certain resolutions are actually applicable.

From the above, we can see that at a 2-2.5 foot viewing distance, the user can discern the benefits of 4K resolution. However, in order for a user to be able to experience the benefits of 4K on a 50 inch television, they need to be 3-5 feet from the display.

Comparatively, a 24" monitor and a 50" monitor at a 15 foot viewing distance results in the same perceivable pixel density as 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 2160p, meaning application matters.

Refresh Rate

Refresh rate is measured in Hertz or "Hz." Hertz is a metric used to quantify how many times something occurs in a second. In terms of monitors and televisions, it's the number of times the display is updated with new information.

Common refresh rates are 60 Hz, 120 Hz, 144 Hz, and 240 Hz.

• A 60 Hz monitor refreshes the image 60 times in a second.
• A 120 Hz monitor refreshes the image 120 times in a second.
• A 144 Hz monitor refreshes the image 144 times in a second.

Faster refresh rates result in a smoother viewing experience. On many televisions the refresh rate is "interpolated." Interpolation is a form of video processing where frames are generated between existing ones to help compensate for motion blur.

Response Time

Response time is the time it takes to shift from one color to another; This is usually measured in the time it takes to go from black to white to black (in milliseconds). This number is also calculated by gray-to-gray (GtG) and black to white.

• Black to white to black response times are usually higher.
• GtG response times are typically faster and are better for gaming.

It's important to note, there isn't an exact method that is agreed upon to measure this statistic. However, in all cases, lower response times are always better.

Panel Type

There are three main panel types: Twisted Nematic (TN), Vertical Aligned (VA), and In-Plane Switching (IPS).

TN panels are characterized for having faster refresh rates, however they have poor viewing angles and are lacking in color reproduction ability.

VA panels are characterized as having the best contract ratios. An entry level VA panel will start at 2000:1 and can exceed 4500:1. The can also easily achieve 85 to 90% DCI-P3 coverage. VA panels are lacking in terms of refresh rate and have slow response rates.

IPS panels can cover a significant amount of the sRGB color gamut. They are best suited for color-critical applications as they have superior color reproduction at up to a 178 degree viewing angle.

Final Thoughts

Televisions today can feature a number of the metrics that monitors have including the fast refresh rates, lower response times, and high pixel densities, however the price to fit the form factor comes at a cost.
