Good TV to Buy
There are a lot of different factors to consider when choosing the right TV to buy, including the type of screen you want and what other features might be important to you. This guide will help you make an informed decision about what’s the best TV to buy for your needs.
The first thing to consider is the type of screen you want. OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screens are currently the most popular option, thanks to their perfectly black blacks and pixel-level contrast control. LCD is still a huge part of the market, though, particularly at the budget end, where manufacturers like Hisense and TCL offer excellent value models with good picture quality.
There’s also the premium end of the market, where you’ll find OLED TVs from Samsung and LG, as well as QLED TVs from Sony and TCL, which use a combination of OLED or Quantum Dots with Mini LED backlights to get brighter, more vibrant images. When considering what kind of tv to buy, you should also think about the size you’ll need and your budget. We’ve got a guide to help you decide how big to go and what budget to aim for, but ultimately the choice is up to you.

We’ve picked out some of the best TVs on the market for a range of price points, so whether you’re looking to spend just under PS1,000 or are happy to splash out for a top-of-the-range set, there should be something here that will suit you.
The Toshiba is an impressively specced TV for the money, with a 4K resolution and a wide color gamut that should give you brilliant pictures no matter what you’re watching. It’s an Android TV too, which means it comes with lots of built-in apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime and iPlayer. There’s also a dedicated gaming mode that gives you low input lag and high refresh rates for better performance when playing games.
Another great budget pick is this Samsung QLED, which comes in at just under PS2,000. It’s one of the few TVs that can be called truly HDR, with support for Dolby Vision and the more generic HLG. Dolby Vision adds extra contrast and brightness to the image, while the latest version of HLG does a better job at balancing dynamic range frame by frame.
This TV is also an excellent choice for gamers, with a fast response time and low input lag that should mean it handles all the latest games without issue. It’s not quite as bright as some OLED TVs, but it’ll be plenty bright enough for most people.
