Televisions simply don't get enough attention in our daily lives. As much as we watch TV in the comfort of our own homes, the priority seams to lean towards our mobile devices. The fact is, regardless of the incredible displays on our smartphones, bigger is simply better. At least when it comes to watching our shows and movies in high definition that is. We take a look at the top TVs of 2015.
LG EG9600 series
The first OLED TV of 2015 was a 65-inch, 4K resolution curved beauty. It's a tad similar to last year's 65EC9700, but with a huge price cut of $1,000 cheaper. Unfortunately, that's not going to win any hearts, as this TVs price tag is set at $8,999 USD. Yes, we know, this is not for the common folk. In fact, many of us who are able to afford it just won't. Perhaps the 55-inch version of this TV, set at $4,500 USD, could draw a few people in. The truth is we'd hold out for the flat version instead. It's just cheaper and you're really not missing out on too much 4K material.
Samsung JS9500 series
Samsung has been a winner for quite some time now, going head-to-head with the Japanese giants, Sony. This might come off as a strange one because it seems their answer to the OLED is, well, an LCD. The company is calling it SUHD. However, there are slight design differences, like the quantum dots, HDR, and curved screen. It might just be the best LCD ever created, although it will find it hard to defeat the OLDED black levels. The 65-inch will cost a cool $4,999 USD.
Sony XBR-75X940C
The first thing that pops into your head when you think Sony, you slightly cringe, knowing that it's as overpriced as a Ming vase. True, the cost of making a Sony TV is a number you don't want to get familiar with. This 75-inch giant has a price tag of $7,999 USD. With its Triluminous technology, similar to that of quantum dots, it will be set apart from the rest because of its impressive speakers. Clearly visible, standing out like a sore thumb. Its 65-inch version isn't losing much, apart from the LED backlighting. Both TVs are HDR compatible, and it's sure to never lack in quality.
Samsung JS8500 series
This 65-inch TV ($2,999 USD) could be an option you'd rather take, instead of the curved model mentioned earlier. It possesses the latest technology in the flat form. And let's be honest, is having a curved TV in your room an absolutely necessity? Heck no. The truth is most of us are so used to having our thinned out, flat screens that it will feel plenty strange dealing with a curved one. If it's the newest flat screen TV from Samsung, you can bet that you will be more than satisfied with the picture quality of this model.
Sony XBR-X900C series
There is always a more affordable option, regardless the brand name. This model is fresh out the box new in its summer release. The company makes it very clear that this is the thinnest LCD TV ever made. The top half of the TV is 0.2-inch thin, which is 0.05-inch thinner than the LG's 55-inch OLED TV. While the 75-inch XBR-75X910C is a bit thicker, the series is nearly identical. While the official price tag isn't quite clear, we can only go on rumours we've heard. The 65-inch might be around $3,999 USD, while the 55-inch may cost $2,499 USD. We can only assume the picture quality will be spot on, leaving you drooling for more.
