We mentioned LG’s OLED rivals earlier and here’s one of them. Sony’s premier 4K TV has the X1 Ultimate processor, which should give better picture quality than any chip that Sony has made before coupled with audio technology that vibrates the screen to create sound. Is it the best OLED though or should you stick with LG?

We liked: strong 4K picture
We disliked: unbalanced sound

From one high-end Sony TV to another, but this one has an LCD screen rather than an OLED one. The 9505 is Sony’s top-tier 4K LCD for 2020 and when it launched it was £1,599. Now it’s more than a third cheaper, but high-end doesn’t always mean high quality.
