About this deal

The Sony X80K is a lower-end version of the Sony X85K, but it isn't worth getting despite the lower price because it has worse picture quality and doesn't have gaming features. If you are a gamer, it's also worth considering the next-gen gaming features of your prospective new TV. Xbox Series X and PS5 gamers can gain a competitive advantage on certain games if their TV supports 4K 120Hz, while VRR support can result in a smoother gameplay experience. ALLM, meanwhile, simply ensures that you automatically get the best visual experience from both games and movies / TV shows. If you are a more casual gamer or not a gamer at all, you can pretty much disregard these features, and it's likely that doing so will save you a lot of cash.

What Hi-Fi? Awards 2023 winner - Best 40-43" TV & Best Gaming TV

Brightness aside, the G3 delivers crisp, accurate and vivid pictures across both SDR and HDR content and a wonderful gaming experience courtesy of LG’s Game Optimizer Mode and four HDMI 2.1 ports, all of which support 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM. The webOS operating system is another great strength of LG TVs and is as easy to use as ever on the G3. The selection of streaming services is enormous, navigation using the Magic Remote is intuitive and the home screen is less cluttered than it was on webOS 22.Sound quality is a little disappointing given that this is LG’s flagship 4K TV, and you’ll have to pay extra for a stand if you don’t want to wall mount it as there’s not one included, but otherwise, this mighty MLA-powered is hard to fault and one of the best televisions we’ve seen years. In the case of cable, satellite, or free TV, you can experience pixelation due to weak signals being fed to your TV from the network. Unfortunately, even changing settings won’t do much to fix the quality of the signal. Problems connecting to the internet are one of the most common issues users of smart TVs run into, regardless of brand. For instance, if you’re having issues with Netflix, you can try other services like Facebook Watch or YouTube to troubleshoot.

The first thing to look at is the remote control. There might be a defective power button that causes the problem. You might assume that the same fate faces its 42-inch sibling, but LG’s 42-inch OLEDs have always been a somewhat different proposition to their larger siblings, and while the 42-inch C3 is certainly very similar to its predecessor, it wasn't priced significantly higher at launch and it's now been discounted heavily anyway. Even more crucially, unlike the 65-inch model, the 42-inch C3 doesn't have significant new rivals to worry about. If you’re looking for an app that has almost everything, then Roku is a great option. Disadvantages of Sharp TVsIf it’s impractical, you can try running an Ethernet cable, or use the Wi-Fi repeaters to increase the strength of your Wi-Fi signal. You won’t be able to stream video at high quality if your Internet connection is poor. That is why many streaming platforms automatically adapt to the speed of your connection. The Samsung QN90C is available in a wide range of sizes from 43 through to 85-inches, with the lower end bringing it to our list of the best smaller TVs. Its solid reflection handling and brightness makes it a good choice for lots of purposes and lots of rooms. We find that's often what most people want from a smaller TV: versatility.

If you want something cheaper than the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED without sacrificing too much, the Sony KD-43X85K is the best 43-inch TV in the mid-range category. While its picture quality isn't nearly as good as the Samsung or the LG C3 OLED, it has many of the same gaming features, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its ports. It's great if you want to take full advantage of the PS5, Xbox Series X, or a beefy PC gaming rig, as it supports 4k @ 120Hz. Sony TVs are also known to have good processing features, and this one is no exception, as its color accuracy before calibration is fantastic, and upscaled content looks great. The size of the TV you buy should be dictated not only by the size of your room but also by how far away you intend to sit from it. To get the full benefit from a 4K HDR set, you need to sit close enough for your eyes to appreciate the increased picture clarity that 4K brings over FHD. Buying a 4K TV that’s too small for your room may mean that it won’t look much better than a much cheaper 1080p TV.

Operating system: 40-inch, 42-inch and 43-inch TVs didn't always come with a smart TV operating system in the past but they often do now. What you're looking for, ideally, is a well-maintained operating system like Roku TV, LG's webOS or Samsung's Tizen operating system. If you go with a TV that uses a proprietary operating system (basically an operating system exclusive to that one TV) you might have some serious issues down the road. Freesat HD is a non-subscription alternative to Freeview HD that’s transmitted by satellites rather than broadcasting towers. If you live in an area with poor broadcast reception and don’t want to pay for Sky TV, this is the best way to get television into your home. You can use an existing Sky satellite dish or pay to have one installed. You will also need to run a coaxial cable from the satellite to your television if no access point is available nearby. If your smartphone is unable to stream the platform, it’s likely the problem is with the streaming platform or your Internet connection. Try other streaming services to be sure.Four HDMI 2.1 inputs with support for 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, along with FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync, make it a dream for console and PC gamers alike.
