Planning a TV upgrade this diwali? Here are 5 premium options to consider
The festive season is a good time to upgrade your home entertainment setup, especially if you’re considering a large-screen TV for movies, sports and gaming.
Premium televisions now offer a choice of display technologies, from Mini LED panels designed for high brightness to OLED screens that deliver deep blacks and contrast. Samsung, LG, Sony, Haier and Hisense have options worth considering, depending on your viewing preferences and budget.
Here are five premium TVs to look at this Diwali.
The Samsung S85H is a 65-inch OLED TV designed for viewers who want rich colours, deep blacks and smooth motion. Its self-illuminating pixels produce individual light levels, helping deliver strong contrast when watching movies and shows. The TV uses Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen2 processor for 4K AI upscaling and picture optimisation, while its 120Hz refresh rate, VRR support and compatibility with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium make it suitable for gaming.
