The Sony XBR55X900F is a beautiful, colorful and brilliant mid-priced 4K HDR TV. It does an excellent job in highlighting the improvements Sony has introduced over and above the already excellent X900E series from last year – enhanced processing, better brightness, subtly enhanced backlight dimming zones, even superb motion performance.
The Samsung UN55RU7100FXZA makes for a decent, budget-friendly 4K smart TV that offers good enough performance and HDR support, making it ideal for a mid-size living room. However, this isn’t the best we’ve seen, competitors offer better color reproduction and accuracy. If you can live with deficiencies in those areas, the smart features offered on the RU7100 along with a 4K resolution make for a good value.
The TCL 55S425 is a solid option for anyone looking to nab a 4K TV without breaking the bank. The set offers acceptable color quality and decent (albeit) HDR support, and the intergration of Roku’s Smart Tv interface makes this set just as capable for media streaming and apps as any other smart TV out there.
