LG OLED65G1

£2999 / stuff.tv/65G1

£3k is a lot of money to pay for

a television, even one as slim and

well-specified as this, especially

when you take the humdrum

audio into account – not to

mention the absence of a stand.

But the OLED specialists have

made good on the ‘Evo’ promise

by serving up pictures that exceed

expectations... so maybe LG is

entitled to charge what it thinks

it can get away with. Between this

and the Samsung at No1, there’s

really nothing in it.

Sony KD-65A8

+++++ £1898 / stuff.tv/SonyA8

What’s a few gaps in specification when

performance is as barnstorming as this?

Hisense A7200G

+++++ £379 / stuff.tv/A7200G

This 50in budget buy is a perfectly good way to

get a biggish screen at a little price.

LG OLED55CX

+++++ £1195 / stuff.tv/OLEDCX

LG knows exactly what it’s doing with OLED

and the results here are mighty impressive.

Samsung QE65Q65T

+++++ £899 / stuff.tv/Q65T

Overlook the humdrum sound and this is one of

the best pound-for-pound goggleboxes around.

Philips 55OLED805

+++++ £1199 / stuff.tv/OLED805

All the things we love about OLED without the

flagship price tag.

Samsung 75Q950TS

+++++ £3999 / stuff.tv/Q950TS

Extravagant even after a £2k price drop... but no

other 75in TV looks quite so elegant.

Sony KE-48A9

+++++ £1399 / stuff.tv/A9

Don’t be fooled by its relatively small size: the A9

is a real smasher of a 4K OLED.

Samsung

QE65QN95A

£2699 / stuff.tv/QN95A

This is Samsung’s single most expensive 4K

TV for 2021 (unless you buy a bigger version),

but the pictures justify the outlay. The Korean

giant’s implementation of the new Mini LED

tech is, on this evidence, something to be

reckoned with. It’s difficult to imagine how

any of the other sets that are incoming this

year could be better.

Stuff says +++++

This Mini LED television is a fearsomely

accomplished set – and the one to beat

Stuff says +++++

Probably LG’s best ever OLED...

which is saying something

You can configure

this TV to work with

the voice assistant of

your choice, not just

Samsung’s Bixby.

Samsung’s remote

is solar-powered, so

don’t lose it down the

back of the sofa – it’s

dark down there.

Philips 48OLED+935

£1499 / stuff.tv/OLED935

Our former No1 telly bounces

back onto this list now that the

984 model is no longer available.

Considering the audio-visual

fidelity you’re getting here, not

to mention the convenience of

the integrated soundbar, it’s hard

to argue the 48OLED+935 isn’t

worth every penny. Next-gen

gamers may lament the lack of

HDMI 2.1, but for anyone other

than ardent button-bashers the

lovely picture (with Ambilight) is

quite immersive enough.

Stuff says +++++

Expensive for its size, but the picture

and sound justify the price
