These TVs are windows to a brighter world
If you're looking for strong picture quality and a stunning
immersive experience, check out this list of televisions
With an array of new technologies emerging such as 4K, 5K a nd H
DR , it can be difficult to know what tech matters, and what's just marketing.
Here is a guide to the best televisions of this year that will brief you about
what is and is not important when it comes to image quality. You can get
yourself a great viewing experience, without paying for features you simply
don't need.
Samsung
KS9500
Samsung was the first brand to introduce a TV capable of showing high dynamic range pictures in 2015, and it builds on that achievement this year by delivering in the KS9500 series -the brightest TV the world has seen to date. The use of direct LED lighting with local dimming (meaning clusters of the lights behind the screen can have their brightness adjusted independently of each other) also means this TV is able to deliver some gorgeously deep black colours alongside that groundbreaking brightness.
LG OLED
E6
The OLED E6's slim `picture on glass' design creates one of the most gorgeous TVs you have seen. They are not just a pretty face, though. The way each OLED pixel produces its own light and colour independent of its neighbours means the OLED E6 series delivers levels of contrast and light control not possible with LCD. The OLED TV's deep black colours sit alongside even the brightest HDR whites without a hint of light `bleed' -something just not possible with current LCD technologies.
Panasonic
DX802
The DX802 enjoys a unique design that finds its screen hanging
within two easel-style silver legs, between which you also rest the external
sound bar speaker (though you can remove the screen from the legs and wall mou
nt it) . T he DX8 02's edge LED lighting sometimes means you can see bands and
blocks of unwanted light around bright objects. Otherwise, though, provided you
use the TV's adaptive backlight feature on its highest setting, the DX802s
produce lovely, refined pictures with HDR.
Sony
W809
If you have no interest in going for UHD sources, and would
rather go for a high quality HD TV, the Sony W805809C series is for you.It
delivers probably the finest picture quality the HD world has ever seen while
costing precious little by today's television standards. The Android interface
is impressive and carries a huge amount of apps. However, you might want to add
an external sound system at some point to replace the flimsy built-in speakers.
But the W805CW809C TV's pictures are gorgeous enough to overwhelm any flaws
elsewhere.
LG OLED
B6
The entry level OLED B6 series isn't quite as ultra-slim and gor
geous as the premium `picture on glass' OLED E6 models, but it delivers broadly
similar picture quality. This is handy when you are talking about the sort of
beautifully high contrast, colour-rich, HDR-capable, 4K pictures LG's OLED TVs
are offering this year.While its pictures lack some of the refinement of the
expensive OLED E6 screens, it's the most affordable way to get your hands on
LG's latest OLED generation.
SONY
KD-75XD9405
If you are into movies and have plenty of space in your living room, Sony's 75XD9405 should be you r favou rite `giant T V' this year. Its mammoth 75-inch screen gives you deliciously detailed, colourful, high contrast, clear and natural pictures with hig h a nd st a nd a rd dy na mic sources alike. Its pictures aren't the brightest around, but the overall quality of the 75XD9405's .pictures creates a stunning immersive experience
Samsung
KS7000
The combination of an ultra bright panel and Quantum Dot colour reproduction enables the KS7000 to deliver levels of dynamism, colour vibrancy and punch with HDR sources that have to be seen to believe. The sets are attractive too, featuring slim, metallic frames and minimalist desktop `feet'. It's also nice to find the airy design kept relatively free of cable spaghetti by an external box that passes on picture and sound via a single cable.
