GADGET/TV SPECIAL.... The finest screens coming to adorn your living room

The finest screens coming to adorn your living room

These TVs will excite you with modular 146-inch screen, rollable OLED, 8K resolution and more

LG W8 OLED
The new LG W8 OLED isn’t all that different from its predecessor LG W7 — but it’s still a fantastic panel to gaze at, and a number of improvements on the software side (hello Google Assistant) make this TV irresistible. The 65-inch TV comes with a Dolby Atmos-equipped soundbar. You have also got no less than four types of HDR to choose from.

Sony A8F OLED
The Sony A8F OLED is similar to last year’s A1E model. The only differences are the addition of an extra subwoofer out back and a redesigned stand for it to sit on. Apart from that you get a fantastic-looking picture, held in a monolithic design that’s going to dominate any living room, with a top size of 65 inches. With Android TV on board, you get a better choice of apps and smart TV features.

Samsung’s The Wall
It’s the newest television concept from Samsung, a 146 inches of display that will wow you. It’s a gorgeous-looking and massive TV set. It makes use of MicroLED technology — that’s something we don’t know much about, but it uses smaller LEDs and is intended to close the gap with OLED as far as dark blacks go. It’s also bezel-free.

TCL 6-Series
TCL has been making a name for itself for some time now (with the help of Roku), and the 6-Series TVs unveiled recently continues its tradition of fab-looking panels at reasonable prices. Available in 55 or 66 inches, the sets come with built-in support for Dolby Vision, as well as some smart tech for improving contrast balance and colour gamut.

Samsung Q9S 8K
Is the world ready for 8K? Samsung certainly is, and the Samsung Q9S 8K TV was a sight to behold. It is able to convert anything, even rubbish SD, into more than 33 million pixels. Beyond that, Samsung is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest when it comes to the rest of the specs of Q9S. One screen size has been announced so far, which comes in at 85 inches.

LG Super SK9500
This is LG’s top Super UHD TV of 2018 and it’s going to be available in 65 or 55-inch sizes. It employs Nano Cell display technology with full array local dimming, for uniform black dimming, and is powered along by Alpha 7 processor. The TV is set to come with Dolby Atmos audio and Google Assistant.

LG Rollable OLED
LG recently showcased its 65-inch rollable OLED screen, a bigger and improved version of an 18-inch model that the company demoed back in 2014. You still can’t buy it, however. The television screen rolls down into the base, which is one way to limit the amount of screen time the kids are getting or to transport your television set into another room. It has a 4K resolution.
