PHILIPS OLED+935

From £1,800, philips.co.uk

Philips and Bowers & Wilkins’ play-nice partnership continues into another year, with a TV which has the potential to put both companies on top. The OLED+935 upgrades the 934 that preceded it, bringing increased picture smarts and a banging B&W 3.1.2 sound system, with integrated Dolby Atmos upfirers right there below the screen. It’s clearly a design winner, sporting the expected minimal bezels, an acoustically-neutral Kvadrat clothcovered speaker array, and Philips’ ever-present Ambilight pulling off a nifty light show on your wall. While there are the usual 55-inch and 65-inch varieties on offer, supplier LG’s newly expanded panel offering means this also marks the company’s initial entry into the 48-inch OLED space, a great move for those whose living rooms don’t require a map to navigate.

There’s a whole lot of magic here.

TECH-O-METER APPLE WATCH SE

From £269, apple.com

Though the Series 3 somehow still clings onto life by its fingertips, and the Series 6 gobbled up most of the headlines from Apple’s September launch event, it’s the Apple Watch SE that has us most intrigued. This latest entry into the Apple Watch canon gets the top-end Retina screen in 44 and 40mm variants, packed into the same recycled aluminium case as the main event Watch. You do get a last-gen (but still plenty nippy) processing package based on Apple’s S5 silicon, and while it has the always-on altimeter and all the movement sensing of its brother, the health sensor only monitors heart rate. Here’s the key, though: those minor concessions mean it starts over £ 100 below the Series 6, and it’s a huge upgrade from the Series 3 at only £70 more.

T3 SAYS: The affordable Apple Watch we’ve been dreaming of.
