Best of the best

The best reason yet

to buy a 4K QLED. It

boasts superb HDR

images, outshining

rival OLEDs when

it comes to peak

HDR brightness, and

offering convincing

black level

performance.

£1,799, samsung.com/uk

PHILIPS 65OLED984

Part high-end

OLED, part high-end

loudspeaker, this has

VXSHUEGHĆQLWLRQ

excellent contrast,

vibrant hues and a

three-channel audio

system. If you have

space, it’s quite the

audiovisual setup.

From £4,499, philips.co.uk

LG OLED55C9

Probably the best

bang-for-buck

TV on the market

right now. It offers

high-end OLED

image quality and

processing, but

without a high-end

price tag. And it’s still

packed with features.

£1,399, lg.com

PANASONIC TX-55GZ2000

Featuring an OLED

panel able to run

brighter than rivals

DQGEXLOWLQXSĆULQJ

Dolby Atmos

enabled speakers,

this advanced OLED

TV is a home cinema

solution AV fans will

be lusting over.

£2,399, panasonic.com

PANASONIC TX-58GX800

It may not feature

the local dimming of

its pricier stable-

mates, but it holds

a full hand of HDR

compatibility. And

it also reveals vivid,

detailed contrasts

and wide-ranging,

punchy colours.

£699, panasonic.com

PHILIPS 55OLED754

Pennies less than

a grand buys you

a super-skinny

OLED with a stack

of connectivity and

inkily deep black

tones. There’s no

doubt it will make

your 4K content look

its absolute best.

£989, philips.co.uk

SONY KD-49XG9005

Everything you

might expect from a

Sony product, minus

the price. Serving up

lovely pictures, it’s

a master of colour

temperature and

balance, and gives

black tones plenty

SAMSUNG QE49Q70R

This 49-inch

charmer has almost

everything offered

on pricier QLED

screens. It has a

picture that lays

bare even the

ĆQHVWGHWDLOVDQG

generates deeply

inky black tones.

£739, samsung.com/uk

ACER V7850

Acer really hit the

sweet spot here:

VPDOOHQRXJKWRĆW

on a coffee table,

whisper-quiet in

operation, and yet

still produces a

bright, crisp HDR 4K

picture of 70 to 110

inches (at 3.5m).

£1,699, acer.com

EPSON EH-TW6700W

If you’re happy with

Full HD resolution,

this is the best

option, partly thanks

to a super-easy setup

process. The image

quality is good, you

just don’t get the

IXWXUHSURRĆQJRI

HDR and 4K.

£999, epson.co.uk

OPTOMA UHZ65

This is very aimed

at the proper AV

enthusiast, but

laser projection at

this price makes it

worth it for anyone.

4K HDR video is

supremely rich, and

it can hit 120 inches

from just 4m.

£3,499, optoma.co.uk

OPTOMA UHD40

4K resolution and

HDR in a projector

for this price is hard

to beat. It doesn’t

quite have the pop

and HDR richness of

more expensive sets,

but it’s way beyond

HD projectors at the

same price.
