![]() Read the full review: Sony A90J OLED TV review Although complete packages seldom come cheap. There's a smart new Google TV interface, the usual Sony standard of build and finish, feet that change position to accommodate a soundbar, an exclusive movie streaming service, and an authentically well-designed remote control – ignoring the inexplicable lack of UK TV catch-up services – and the A90J looks like the complete package. We also found that when you’re reduced to watching sub-4K content, it’s great at upscaling too. In every meaningful department – motion control, contrast, edge definition, detail levels, you name it – the Sony excels. We think the picture quality from any source is as good as it currently gets for any 4K TV. The Sony A90J uses the entire surface of the screen as a speaker, and the inclusion of two conventional bass drivers means the A90J sounds fuller, more direct and just, well, better than any alternative that doesn’t feature an off-board sound system. Let's start with the sound, because that's quite a big deal here. Read the full review: Samsung QN95A Neo QLED TV Just keep in mind that you'll be making do with HDR10+ support rather than the more prevalent Dolby Vision HDR standard. There’s also a host of cutting-edge gaming features that’ll please next-gen console owners, and a powerful 4.2.2-channel sound system packed into the TV’s ultra-slim chassis. The QN95A boasts an impressive set of features, which is headlined by a well-designed and comprehensive smart platform that includes every major streaming app. Unlike last year, we don't think that Samsung is limiting its 4K line-up in an effort to push sales of the 8K ranges. Samsung's quantum dot technology delivers saturated and nuanced colours, and thanks to the Filmmaker Mode these images are also extremely accurate. We were very impressed by the superb SDR and HDR images, which deliver deep blacks and bright highlights without blooming or loss of shadow detail. The Samsung QN95A is the company’s new flagship Neo QLED 4K TV for 2022, and the first to embrace a Mini LED backlight, resulting in a significant increase in dimmable zones and thinner panels. Most smart TVs are best used with a soundbar and this TV is definitely one of them: its own speakers aren't the most exciting, and it's clear that Samsung's priority has been on how this TV looks rather than how it sounds. It's a particularly good option for gaming thanks to three HDMI 2.1-enabled inputs, one of which is eARC-enabled, and it has dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2. Like most smart TVs it's not going to magically make repeats of Murder She Wrote look like they were filmed today in 4K, but for content such as terrestrial TV it does a good job. We were also very impressed by the Crystal Processor 4K, which does a great job of upscaling lower-resolution content. ![]() For everywhere else, though, it's an impressively clean, detailed and dynamic display. It's brighter than you might think from the spec sheet – it's rated for less than 300 nits – but we wouldn't recommend this one for a room that's very brightly lit. The Tizen smart TV interface is fantastic and the picture quality is very impressive, especially in 4K HDR. This Samsung is one of the best TVs you can buy for under £1000. Inevitably that means some compromises, but this is a very impressive TV for an equally impressive price.
