I'm still really confused by Sony. On the one side we have the A95L which consistently comes across as a stellar TV. What's more, Sony kept the A95L going and almost two years later it comes out as even better, by many reviewers, as better than (for example) the G4. Better of course in terms of...

Thank you for the article. I really enjoyed it's enthusiasm and that it gives a good overview of the products you write about.

Just in case - don't use the link under "Today's best LG B4 OLED deals" that has the B4 at £2499.99 - my guess is it's an error at EE - first digit should be a "1" (probably) my guess a typo at EE. Also, as per previous WhatHiFi info - if you want a B4 check out the C4 prices as they are close

Hi Tom, Thanks ever so much for the article. The Samsung is on my list for next potential TV so it's really good to hear of ways it could be set up to get the best out of it. In terms of the missing ambilight, I get migraines and I was finding watching a TV in a totally dark room could triggers...

Hi just spoken to Sevenoaks who also had some of the prices in the article. However, the prices were linked to Amazon Prime day and only lasted two days, so if you're reading the article many of the prices are no longer valid.

Thank you very much for the article. Please could I add something to this. I have been a migraine sufferer for over 40 years and was very grateful for the move to non-CRT technologies as I am now hyper sensitive to CRT screens. I can watch a CRT screen for 30 seconds and a migraine can begin...

Absolutely - a splendiferously wonderful film packed with charm. There's an idea in film making about showing and not telling and both the Paddington movies are marvellous examples of that. Perhaps when we encounter new people, often from strange lands, who themselves seem very different from...

Bravo, such a wonderfully warm and erudite piece. I didn't know the Freddie and Sid story or the wickedly funny and deprecating Simon Ferocious - thank you for passing on. Extra kudos to you for managing to link "Coleridgean albatross" with the Wombles. Delightful. Thank you very much, such a...

Hi, I think the points about providing an overview of TCL but not answering the question are well made. The piece comes across as a marketing piece for TCL TV's - not necessarily an issue but is there not some way of drawing a distinction between genuine reviews and more marketing minded pieces...

"Certainly not yet: these new eLEAP panels are initially planned for use in laptops, smartphones, car displays, and wearables such as smartwatches. " "Perhaps in the future....once its 8.7 generation plant is in operation in 2027" Somewhat misleading article title. By all means speculate on...

Very nice article bravo. I thought it might be nice to add a reference from Yamaha (I don't work for them but like language and technology) on "orthodynamic" https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/contents/audio_visual/hifi_components/hifi-history/other/index.html#HP-1_ancher Also from Yamaha...

If Netflix upgrade their platform and as a consequence some older firmware cannot keep up then that's a reasonable development of the market. If, on the other hand, Netflix arbitrarily deregisters TVs and Blu Ray players over 10 years old then thats potentially manipulation of the market. I'd...

I'm not sure what "move over" means in the headline. Isn't dolby atmos encoded in the metadata so I think what would happen is you put your Dolby Atmos encoded source into the Samsung and Google TV and its algorithms interpret the sounds and output a best guess idea of what those sounds relate...

Hi, First of all apologies if this is in the wrong section, I thought placing it in Hot Deals made the most sense as the post is for any buy. The point I'd like to make is no warranty can obviate your protection under the Sale of Goods Act 1979. Additionally, the The Consumer Rights Act 2015...
