LG was responsible for some of last year’s best TVs: With the help of Sony, Panasonic and Philips, they have managed to make OLED a dominant technology in the high-end class, and a favorite among image enthusiasts. But there is no point in resting on your laurels: With arch-rival Samsung and their QLED monitors notch …
Sony has always had a special position in the TV industry. The Japanese manufacturer has become a small putt compared to the Koreans LG and Samsung, but their TVs – especially some selected models – may lag behind the best. At the very end of 2018, we tested Sony’s new LCD flagship KD-75ZF9, which was …
Samsung has long been one of the trendsetters when it comes to TV technology, design and ease of use. Last year’s introduction of TV with 8K resolution was a good example of that. However, the development is fast, and now there are brand new 2019 models that apply. Many people wonder if this will be …
Laser-sharp TV screens with 8K resolution are the latest craze on the television front. With four times as many pixels as today’s 4K screens, the new screen technology promises us such sharp and vivid images that it almost surpasses reality! The technology is still in its infancy, it will probably take 4-5 years before the …
The old adage, “two heads are better than one”, inspires a popular strategy in the audio and video industry. When a manufacturer launches a new product, you can almost bet it has “audio from producer Y” or “designed by producer Z” included in the description. This can range from pure licensing to more in-depth cooperation. …
Long before many of today’s manufacturers made their first “goggle-box”, Philips was established as one of the TV heavyweights – literally. Anyone who ever tried to lift a hippo-heavy 32-inch Widescreen CRT television can vouch for this! A lot has happened since then, but Philips still plays an important role in the TV jungle. They …
Modern TV’s are getting ever more beautiful image quality, but the sound is worse. The slimmer the display, the less room there is for proper speakers. No wonder the sale of separate audio solutions has skyrocketed! A soundbar can significantly elevate the audio experience – the downside is that it takes up extra space, rarely …
Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture about ourselves. As long as it is turned on, we can barely take our eyes off it. But when it is turned off, it appears most of all that is “black hole” on the wall, and rarely contributes anything positive …
TCL has in a short time become a name to watch out for in the TV jungle. The Chinese manufacturer is a current challenger to Samsung and LG, especially in the budget class where they can offer more well-equipped TVs for the money. Among other things, we have tested the TCL 55DP600 model with good …
We didn’t hold back on the superlatives after testing Samsung’s flagship TV QE65Q9FN earlier this year. The new QLED top model can measure itself with ease against the best OLED competitors, thanks to advanced LED backlighting and “Quantum Dots”, providing scintillating contrast and colour reproduction. But this comes at a price: With a cost around …
What primarily distinguishes the new Philips 55POS9002 from the competition is the patented Ambilight that lights the back wall with the same colours you see on the TV screen. This gives a contrast-enhancing effect that can definitely boost your experience of the picture by several notches. It will be extra exciting to see how this …
LG currently has the wind in its sails. Their OLED screens are considered by many to provide the best picture quality that money can buy and with superior contrast and black levels. Several of the competitors have realized this, humbled themselves and licensed the technology from LG to use it in their own top models. …
The Samsung UE55MU7075 is a stylish TV in a very thin frame with a dark, brushed design. Samsung has thought holistically, and fitted the backside with smooth surfaces and covers to conceal the wires that lead to a separate “Mini Connect” junction box. It makes for a smooth and attractive installation. Usability and features Samsung …
While the other TV manufacturers are busy with their final adjustments, Philips has managed to get its first 2018 models shipped to the store. Philips 65OLED873 is out first, which by all indications will be the most affordable OLED TV this year. The recipe is very similar to last year’s models: OLED panel, P5 picture …
Participant number 2 from Philips is a slightly more expensive variant. The 8303 series has a more exclusive and confidence-inspiring finish than the 7363. The TV is heavier, everything seems a bit more sturdily put together, and the base in plexiglass gives an impression of luxury. Usability and features Like other Philips models, this is …
