BEST HIGH-END TV AROUND $4,000 SAMSUNG Q9F 65-INCH QLED TV

Samsung has been ignoring calls that premium LCD TV technology is dead and we’re thankful for it. The Q9F is the best LCD TV we’ve ever seen. The rear-lit panel rivals OLED for black performance and yet there’s virtually no light-bleed or halo-effect from light shining through the screen. That’s extraordinary for one of the brightest TVs around. Then there are those QLED colours which can melt-your eyes – to the point where you may want to dial settings down.

The smart remote is pretty and functional while the tiny power-cum-control cable (Teflon-wrapped optic fibre) is tough and barely visible. Finally, the Ambient Mode party piece will stop everyone in their tracks – by making your TV appear translucent, it becomes a moving work of art and you’ll be watching your TV even when it’s turned off!

Available in 65-inch and 75-inch versions, you’ll pay for it, but this TV works brilliantly in bright and dark homes and there’s even a 10-year anti burn-in guarantee to make you think long and hard over OLED rivals.
