![]() Which TV brand should you buy?įour brands dominate the market: LG, Samsung, Sony and Panasonic. Our tests have discovered there are some excellent QLEDs, but it's not a guarantee of quality. More and more of Samsung's range is made up of these TVs. QLED is the name of the Samsung OLED-rivalling quantum-dot TVs that we’ve seen in the past few years, where light hits a layer of quantum dots to produce bright, vibrant colours. Some OLEDs are the best of the best, but you can get an excellent TV that isn't an OLED. We’ve been impressed by their picture quality in the lab, but that’s not to say you should discount the traditional LED-backlit TV. Organic LEDs, or OLEDs, are found on some high-end TVs – they produce dazzling pictures with smooth motion, deep blacks and vibrant colours. In fact, some TVs that use the basic formats have a brilliant HDR picture, so don't feel you have to buy a TV with HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. We've tested TVs that don't use them well at all. These advanced formats aren't essential, though. HDR10 and HLG are available on just about every 4K TV, with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ usually only on pricier sets. There are four main formats: two basic and two advanced. However, you need HDR content to see the benefits. Most 4K TVs come with high dynamic range (HDR), which gives brighter whites, darker blacks and a wider range of colours. Full HD content looks better on a 4K screen, but 4K content – increasingly common on pay TV and streaming services – makes full use of the technology. With four times the number of pixels as Full HD, a 4K screen is more detailed, so it's worth spending that bit more.
