TVs aren't just getting better - they're diversifying. There's now a perfect model for you no matter what you love to watch

TVS FOR MOVIE NIGHTS

SAMSUNG QE98Q80C

The first rule of home cinema is that the bigger your screen, the better the experience. And screens don't get much bigger than Samsung's epic 98-inch QE98Q80C.

Its size isn't its only attraction, though. It's also bristling with picture-enhancing tech. Its bright, high dynamic range-friendly 4K pictures, for instance, benefit from vibrant Quantum Dot colours, and are impressively controlled by Samsung's Al-bolstered Neural Quantum 4K processor together with local dimming, where sectors of its LEDs can output different amounts of light for every shot. The processor has even been designed to optimise the pictures for such a huge screen.

The monster pictures are joined by Samsung's Object Tracking Sound system, which places sound effects in the correct place both on and just off the screen with often uncanny accuracy.

TCL 85C805K

TCL's knack for combining aggressive prices with startlingly good picture quality hits an irresistible peak with the 85C805K.

Remarkably, it gives you an 85-inch screen for just 1.85,000 less than half what some premium 'puny' 65-inch TVs cost.

What's more, this value proposition is far from the end of the 85C805K's story. For starters, it's a mini-LED TV, meaning it uses much smaller LEDs than usual to light its screen. Its colours come courtesy of vibrant Quantum Dot technology too, and finally, despite its price, it supports all four of the HDR formats used by today's video sources.
