4K Ultra HD TV

LG 43UM7100PLB 43 Inch UHD 4K HDR Smart LED TV with Freeview Play - Ceramic Black

Features and specifications:

Does this look familiar? That's because as well as being one of the best-selling 4K TVs, it's also one of the best-selling TVs under £500, so it's a sure winner all round.

Samsung UE43RU7400 (2019) HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart TV

It may not be the latest and best technology, but it's still amazing image resolution and it comes at a much better price than 8K TVs, without sacrificing convenient features like Smart TV

HDR TV

Sony Bravia KDL32WE613 LED HDR HD Ready 720p Smart T

This is a relatively cheap best-seller - retaining Smart TV features and a range of sizes for convenience, this TV has a lot to offer.

This TV comes with X-reality PRO to improve the clarity of the image, and also features HDR to enhance the contrast on your favourite TV shows. Sadly though, it doesn't have 4K resolution, which explains the price. It also has an LED display which means it'll be more power-hungry than more LCD, OLED or QLED devices of the same size. Nevertheless, it's a bargain and so still worth a mention.

Features and specifications:

QLED makes images illuminated like never before on the Samsung QE65Q90RA.

This TV sits way up-market from the Sony Bravia KDL32WE613.

It also comes with a 10 year screen burn warranty from Samsung, available to all customers - all you have to do is register the TV online and you're covered.
