Getting a surround sound system for your home theater is both affordable and easy now that Roku's Smart Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer work with the company's Wireless Speakers to create a $500 wireless surround system.

Two recent display technologies have been grabbing headlines lately: MicroLED and mini-LED. They both refer to LED, but the way they use light-emitting diodes couldn't be more different. We explain how each one works, who makes TVs that use them, and why there's a massive gap in cost and capabilities.

Finding ways to match OLED's insanely good picture quality has been a hard task for competing technologies like QLED. This is why the news that TCL's next 6-Series will come with mini-LED backlighting is so exciting: It could mean OLED-like quality at prices that are way lower than we've ever seen.
| Simon Cohen | April 25, 2023 |
TCL might not have any new TVs to announce at CES 2020, but that didn't stop the company from talking about the new tech it's working on, like its Vidrian Mini-LED display tech which packs tens of thousands of mini LED backlights into a single sheet of glass. No dates or prices for the new displays have been released.

For Sony, 2020 will be the year it doubles down on its collection of excellent TV technologies, bringing many of its top-tier features to more models in its lineup of 4K and 8K TVs. It's also got an intriguing 48-inch OLED TV which is the first time we've seen a 4K OLED TV under 55-inches.
| Simon Cohen | April 25, 2023 |
LG did most of its announcing before CES 2020 even kicked off, revealing eight new 8K TVs and a roll-down OLED 4K TV. But that's not to mean it didn't save something for the trade show: It introduced the art-inspired GX Gallery Series 4K TV and a never-seen-before 48-inch OLED 4K TV.
| Josh Levenson | April 25, 2023 |
Nvidia and LG announced a range of brand new OLED TVs at CES 2020. Available in sizes ranging from 48 to 88-inches, these new screens are rated as G-Sync compatible. While that means they don't have all the features of G-Sync Ultimate screens, screen tearing should be a thing of the past.

LG stole the show at CES 2019 with an incredible OLED TV that retracted into a piece of furniture when it wasn’t in use, and it’s looking to do the same at CES 2020 with a (concept) roll-down OLED TV that unfurls from the ceiling. We'll be there to see just how they manage this feat.

We can't fault the Sony Master Series A9G. It's the finest 4K TV we've ever feasted our eyes upon. However, it's not all that different to the cheaper, lower-end Sony Master Series A8G.

Frankly, this was not a good year for TVs at IFA 2019. Typically, Europe's massive tech show is ground zero for the unveiling of the year's hottest new televisions, but this year, the well ran dry. That doesn't mean there weren't some stunning TVs to gawk at, though -- here are the five best TVS we saw at IFA 2019.

| Simon Cohen | April 25, 2023 |
Here are the details on TCL's 2019 lineup of new TVs -- the 8-, 6-, and 5-Series -- and what they'll cost. The new 6-Series is already on sale, and the 8-series with its QLED display and a huge number of mini-LEDs, looks especially promising, but TCL is withholding the 8K versions until 2020.
| Simon Cohen | April 25, 2023 |
Vizio joins LG in updating its smart TVs with Apple's AirPlay 2 and HomeKit technologies. Unlike LG, Vizio is adding these features to a huge range of models, some of which date back as far as 2016. The features are contained with SmartCast 3.0 which starts rolling out to eligible TVs today.

The Sony 2019 TV lineup is revealed, including 8K and 4K models ranging in size from 43- to 98-inches and in price from $650 to a number much, much larger. The models will be available soon and look to be some of Sony's best yet.

When Sony showed off its first 8K prototype at CES 2018, we were blown away by the intensity of its HDR brightness, and excited to see it come to market. That day is here, and Sony's new 8K TVs come in huge, 85- and 98-inch sizes. With 4x the resolution of 4K, these new projector-class TVs are very impressive.

| Caleb Denison | April 25, 2023 |
After years of being shown demos of amazingly flexible OLED TV displays, LG might just be ready to bring a roll-up OLED TV to market, if recent rumours are to be believed. If true, it would mark the first time you'll be able to buy a TV that can disappear from view, yet not require a custom install.
| Simon Cohen | April 25, 2023 |
LG’s C8 OLED sets the standard by which other OLED TVs are judged and tops our list of the best TVs you can buy. This beauty from LG earned the title thanks to stellar picture quality, excellent ease of use, rich features, and a relatively approachable price point.
