Sony KD-49XE9005

£1249 / sony.co.uk

This Sony might lack the trendy OLED powers found in most of 2017’s top-end tellies, but it still offers one of the best pictures around. That’s thanks to 4K HDR skills that make big movies even more astounding. Plus, the 20W speakers built into the XE9005 add plenty of gravitas to your home cinema experience. For the money, you won’t find a better TV.

Stuff says +++++ One of the best TVS available in the not-so-astronomical price bracket
