COME INTO ALL THE CASH? BLOW THE LOT ON ONE OF THESE BABIES

SAMSUNG Q950R 75-INCH 8K QLED TV

The best marriage between price and performance you’ll currently find in an 8K set. This new HDR King is a stone‑cold stunner capable of producing incredible images. Whether you’re viewing/playing in High Dynamic Range or not, theQ950R’ s impeccable upscaling makes this a great option for Xbox fans. Remember, there’s essentially no available 8K content at the moment, so the fact the immaculate upscaling abilities of this television can do wonders for 4K/1080p signals is hugely appreciated.

SONY Z9G 85-INCH 8K TV

Sitting on a pile of cash the height of your average NBA player? Then why not spend all of it on Sony’s Z9G? The typical build quality you’d expect from the Japanese firm is immediately evident with this stunning TV, and the set’s brilliant 4K upscaling makes the likes of Gears5 sing the sweetest of shooty tunes. While the Z9G’s excellent XI Ultimate processor leads to superb motion handling, this set isn’t flawless. Blooming rears its head in dark scenes, while the presence of only one HDMI 2.1 port feels extremely stingy.

LG Z9 88-INCH 8K OLED

8K and OLED?! Hold us, gentle readers. Our inner AV obsessives adore this LG, though we do realise you need the bank balance of Scrooge McDuck to actually afford one. You’ll love the astonishing pixel depth of this panel and OLED’s class-leading contrast performance, and you get pictures that look so good, they’re damn near otherworldly. Thanks to the sheer real estate the Z9 takes up, it also sounds all kinds of ear-arousing. Just bear in mind the 88- inch brute can’ t be wall-mounted… not unless you want said wall to collapse.

HDMI 2.1 THE FUTURE OF TV CABLE TECHNOLOGY.

Ifyou’redreamingaboutFutureYouplaying Halo Infinite2 in space year 2028 on Xbox Series X, you’ll need a TV with HDMI 2.1 ports. This format supports 8K resolution up to 120Hz and there are claims it can even support 10K. However, unless you bought your TV in the last year, it’s unlikely your set has HDM1 2.1 slots. Not that HDM1 2.0 cables are in any way obsolete. While HDMI 2.0 doesn’t support 8K/60fps, it can run the resolution at 30fps. Basically, you don’t need to replace your current 4K telly to enjoy Series X.
