But if you're determined to keep things neat and rely on the in-built speakers, check our reviews to make sure that they're good – there's no point in a great picture if the accompanying sound is rubbish. We'd always recommend doing so as most TVs sound passable at best, even at the high-end. Meanwhile, standard LCD TVs (often, confusingly, sold as 'LED' TVs on account of their LED backlights) are more variable in overall quality but, if you shop carefully, can offer excellent bang for your buck.īut visuals aren't everything, and it's important to decide if want to combine your new TV with a dedicated sound system. QLED, which combines LED (or Mini LED) backlighting with ultra-vibrant Quantum Dots, is a strong alternative, though, largely thanks to being capable of greater brightness and punchier colours. Without a doubt, OLED has become the premium TV technology of choice, thanks to its perfect blacks, extraordinary contrast and exceptional viewing angles. The type of display you choose will have a huge bearing on your TV's picture performance. But once you've committed to a screen size, what else should you consider when weighing up features and price? Size matters with TVs, and going large on a 65-inch screen can often be worth surrendering a little bit of image quality and next-gen display tech for those few precious extra inches of prime picture real estate.
