When it comes to new televisions, the market is full of choices. Vizio, Samsung, LG, and TCL have all made their presence felt. Vizio used to be the de facto recommendation for televisions priced below $1,000, but in recent years, Hisense, TCL, and other companies have made an impact in the mid-range segment.
Sony’s X900F
The X900F has an impressive picture quality and many Smart TV features. Its design is different from typical Sony aesthetics, and features wide-set legs. It also supports full array local dimming, making it a good fit for HDR. Its fast response time and flicker-free backlight help make motion clear. The downside is the limited viewing angle, so the best image quality is likely to be experienced by people seated in front of the television.
The X900F television for 2023 offers four-k resolution at 120Hz and two 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports. There are also features like VRR (variable refresh rate), ALLM (auto low latency mode), and eARC (enhanced audio return channel). The new Sony televisions support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos passthrough.
Samsung’s Q90
Samsung has a few big things coming in 2023. These new televisions will feature bezel-free displays, multi-view capabilities, and remote viewing capabilities. They will also be able to display personal photos and digital art. They will also feature modular panel technology and 178-inch screens.
The company is introducing new technologies as it continues to improve its QLED televisions. Its QD-OLED televisions will have an ultra-high resolution (UHD) display, a 144-Hz refresh rate, and four HDMI 2.1 inputs. It will also have a new technology called perceptional colour mapping.
The new QLED technology in Samsung’s Q90 TV will improve the picture quality with a 14-bit HDR mapping. This will improve picture detail in both dark and bright scenes. Additionally, it will have an improved sound quality, which will allow it to reproduce sound from multiple speakers. The QLED television will also include up-firing speakers to give users a more immersive sound experience.
Vizio’s MQ6
Vizio’s MQ6 television is an ideal choice for gamers, and has several advanced features. It has Quantum Color, superior gaming performance, and SmartCast for streaming content. You can also use the MQ6 to watch movies in high definition. This television is also incredibly affordable, with a price tag under $500.
The Vizio MQ6 offers excellent native contrast, with deep blacks even in low-light conditions. It lacks a local dimming feature, but its Local Contrast feature may improve contrast in real-world content. In terms of brightness, it doesn’t get as bright as Vizio’s Quantum 2021, but it does offer more than enough contrast.
Vizio’s MQ6 television comes with excellent sound. The system supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It is also compatible with eARC for easier communication with the television.
LG’s C9
LG’s C9 television will offer a laundry list of new features and improvements. It will offer 4K resolution at 120 frames per second and will have four HDMI ports with HDMI 2.1 certification. The television will also support the Enhanced Audio Return Channel and variable refresh rate. It also offers an auto low latency mode.
The screen is a full OLED, with a surprisingly slim design. It also has an all-metal stand, which makes it more stable. The screen is also bezel-free, making it look like it has no frame.
LG’s UM7300
The latest model of LG’s UM7300 televisions is the 65UM7300AUE. It is the successor of the 2020 UN 73 series and includes features like HGIG compatibility and filmmaker mode. It also supports internet streaming. In addition, it has a VESA wall mount for mounting it on a wall. Finally, it comes with the LG Magic Remote Control AN-MR19. This remote has universal control capability, so it can control other LG-compatible devices.
The UM7300 has a quad-core processor that can automatically upscale low-resolution images to 4K quality. This feature also helps to reduce noise. Its 4K Upscaler technology helps guarantee that images will be automatically upscaled to the 4K standard, no matter what their resolution. The 65UM7300AUE also comes with a 50Hz/60Hz/60Hz/60Hz refresh rate, HLG/HDR 10 compatibility, and downward-firing speakers.
