Cable management is easy -- the stand comes with a strip holding two USB ports and four power outlets so you don't have to worry about reaching to the back of the corner to access power.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Unikito Corner TV Stand\" data-superlative=\"Best corner TV stand \" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"t7.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Amazon","imageData":{"id":"bb03da63-bf89-4d79-a9bc-0ce9d4d95d76","title":"unikito-corner-tv-stand","filename":"unikito-corner-tv-stand.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2023\u002F02\u002F01\u002Fbb03da63-bf89-4d79-a9bc-0ce9d4d95d76\u002Funikito-corner-tv-stand.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":132834,"width":1296,"height":720,"dateCreated":{"date":"2023-02-01 16:55:02","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2023-02-01 16:55:12","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fjpeg","deleted":false,"credits":"Amazon","alt":"unikito-corner-tv-stand","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"bb03da63-bf89-4d79-a9bc-0ce9d4d95d76","imageAltText":"t7.jpg","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Amazon","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"unikito-corner-tv-stand.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2023\u002F02\u002F01","imageWidth":1296,"imageHeight":720,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Amazon\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fsmile.amazon.com\u002FUnikito-Entertainment-Console-Storage-Cabinet\u002Fdp\u002FB09LHK67XZ\u002F?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"140","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FUnikito-Entertainment-Storage-Cabinet-Bedroom\u002Fdp\u002FB09HGWCCMX?th=1","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fsmile.amazon.com\u002FUnikito-Entertainment-Console-Storage-Cabinet\u002Fdp\u002FB09LHK67XZ\u002F?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ Fits well into a corner ~ Lightweight metal construction with waterproof wood surfaces ~ Back panel with cable organizer ~ Includes two USB ports and four power outlets \" data-dislike=\"~ No hidden storage ~Triangular stand shape only fits in a corner \"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"4cf13d22-0aeb-4001-8afb-7a8288b01b5c\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EWe chose the BELLEZE Norelle Modern Farmhouse Wood TV stand due to its timeless design, covered storage, and 100-day return guarantee.

So if your couch is 120 inches (10 feet) from the TV, your ideal TV size would be about 60 inches. You can go a bit bigger or smaller depending on what is available from the brand and what your budget allows, but a screen that is too big will overwhelm your space and might even cause motion sickness.

Since native 8K content isn't available yet for streaming or broadcast (and probably won't be for a few years yet), you won't be able to get the most out of your new, very expensive TV just yet. However, if you're a console gamer who has managed to get your hands on an Xbox Series X or a PlayStation 5, both Microsoft and Sony have stated that their consoles are capable of supporting native and upscaled 8K graphics; though the feature isn't "unlocked" at this time, it seems to be in the works for the near future.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETelevisions capable of native 8K resolution are still relatively new technology, and therefore still very expensive; often retailing well over $3,000 for a 65-inch screen.

First off: developing an OLED panel that is capable of native and upscaled 8K resolution is going to take a lot of time and money. And since 8K TVs haven't quite taken off yet with the average shopper, it probably isn't an attractive investment of money, manpower, and resources just yet. Second: an OLED 8K TV would be astronomically expensive.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe average price for a 65-inch 4K OLED TV is about $2,165, while the average price of current LED 8K televisions is $3,083. And this is after several years of being on the market and giving shoppers time to get familiar with the technology. So if a 65-inch 8K OLED TV were to hit the market, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect to pay $10,000 or better to get one. And while there are certainly people out there with deep enough pockets, there wouldn't be enough buyers willing to pay that to offset production costs.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Why aren't there OLED 8K TVs?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"5a1696e7-c492-4c9d-aa18-af31755b48e9\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EYes and no. On the average 55- or 65-inch screen, you wouldn't really be able to see any noticeable improvement in detailing, contrast, or color. But with 85-inch TVs and above, you'll start to see the finer details, more vibrant colors, and enhanced contrast. This is because 8K has four times the pixels of 4K and 16 times that of 1080p, so the pixel density is greater in any given screen size. So 55- and 65-inch 8K models would run the risk of looking fuzzy and muddled by trying to cram tens of millions of pixels into a smaller space.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe biggest

This means that you'll get near-perfect video and audio syncing as well as sound that follows the on-screen action.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Sony A90K\" data-superlative=\"Best 43-inch OLED TV\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"A Sony A90K on a grey background","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Sony\u002FZDNet","imageData":{"id":"097e7165-cfb7-44c3-ad24-5319bebf1e28","title":"sony-a90k","filename":"sony-a90k.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2023\u002F04\u002F03\u002F097e7165-cfb7-44c3-ad24-5319bebf1e28\u002Fsony-a90k.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":311532,"width":1296,"height":720,"dateCreated":{"date":"2023-04-03 20:36:13","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2023-04-03 20:36:26","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fjpeg","deleted":false,"credits":"Sony\u002FZDNet","alt":"A Sony A90K on a grey background","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"097e7165-cfb7-44c3-ad24-5319bebf1e28","imageAltText":"A Sony A90K on a grey background","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Sony\u002FZDNet","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"sony-a90k.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2023\u002F04\u002F03","imageWidth":1296,"imageHeight":720,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Sony\u002FZDNet\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSony-Inch-Ultra-A90K-Playstation%C2%AE\u002Fdp\u002FB09R9BVJ9Q?th=1&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"1298","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSony-Inch-Ultra-A90K-Playstation%C2%AE\u002Fdp\u002FB09R9BVJ9Q?th=1","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSony-Inch-Ultra-A90K-Playstation%C2%AE\u002Fdp\u002FB09R9BVJ9Q?th=1&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"},{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fsony-42-class-bravia-xr-a90k-4k-hdr-oled-google-tv%2F6505134.p%3FskuId%3D6505134&publisher_slug=zdnet&article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&exclusive=1&u1=subid_value","offerMerchant":"Best Buy","offerPrice":"1300","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bestbuy.com\u002Fsite\u002Fsony-42-class-bravia-xr-a90k-4k-hdr-oled-google-tv\u002F6505134.p?skuId=6505134","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fsony-42-class-bravia-xr-a90k-4k-hdr-oled-google-tv%2F6505134.p%3FskuId%3D6505134&publisher_slug=zdnet&article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&exclusive=1&u1=subid_value"},{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.anrdoezrs.net\u002Flinks\u002F9041660\u002Ftype\u002Fdlg\u002Fsid\u002Fsubid_value\u002Fhttps:\u002F\u002Felectronics.sony.com\u002Ftv-video\u002Ftelevisions\u002Fall-tvs\u002Fp\u002Fxr42a90k","offerMerchant":"Sony","offerPrice":"1300","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Felectronics.sony.com\u002Ftv-video\u002Ftelevisions\u002Fall-tvs\u002Fp\u002Fxr42a90k","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.anrdoezrs.net\u002Flinks\u002F9041660\u002Ftype\u002Fdlg\u002Fsid\u002Fsubid_value\u002Fhttps:\u002F\u002Felectronics.sony.com\u002Ftv-video\u002Ftelevisions\u002Fall-tvs\u002Fp\u002Fxr42a90k"}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"Excellent picture quality ~ 120Hz refresh rate ~ Dolby Vision support ~ Acoustic Surface Audio+\" data-dislike=\"Expensive ~ No Dolby Atmos support ~ No VRR support\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"0245b048-1594-431d-a8f9-4b379b3d6443\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EMy pick for the best 43-inch TV is the Samsung QN90C for its Pantone-validated QLED screen, Dolby Atmos support, object tracking sound, and support for the Samsung Gaming Hub.

Costing around $40, this remote is the cheapest on this list, but it can still control up to 15 devices and works both on infrared reading and Bluetooth connectivity.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdditionally, the app-based setup will help get it set up faster than some of the other options.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"SofaBaton U1\" data-superlative=\"Best universal remote overall\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Close up of a black remote with streaming options on the screen","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"SofaBaton","imageData":{"id":"34443fc6-439a-4d74-9357-61c2f652141d","title":"sofabaton-u1","filename":"sofabaton-u1.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F11\u002F02\u002F34443fc6-439a-4d74-9357-61c2f652141d\u002Fsofabaton-u1.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":63215,"width":1296,"height":720,"dateCreated":{"date":"2022-11-02 14:42:53","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2022-11-02 14:43:08","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fjpeg","deleted":false,"credits":"Sofabaton","alt":"sofabaton-u1","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"34443fc6-439a-4d74-9357-61c2f652141d","imageAltText":"Close up of a black remote with streaming options on the screen","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"SofaBaton","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"sofabaton-u1.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F11\u002F02","imageWidth":1296,"imageHeight":720,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"SofaBaton\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSofaBaton-U1-Smartphone-Entertainment-Compatible\u002Fdp\u002FB07XG1HT7G?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"40","offerPriceRange":"","offerPriceText":"","offerType":"Single Product","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSofaBaton-U1-Smartphone-Entertainment-Compatible\u002Fdp\u002FB07XG1HT7G","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FSofaBaton-U1-Smartphone-Entertainment-Compatible\u002Fdp\u002FB07XG1HT7G?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"},{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"","offerMerchant":"Google Play","offerPrice":"","offerPriceRange":"","offerPriceText":"","offerType":"Single Product","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fplay.google.com\u002Fstore\u002Fapps\u002Fdetails?id=www.romateck.com.u1","url":""}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ App-based setup ~ Controls 15 devices ~ Connects via infrared Bluetooth ~ Great price\" data-dislike=\"~ Lacks activity buttons ~ Remote isn't backlit\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"090d9bf1-efd1-4c8a-929d-f9ccb8b4cbdb\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFeatures:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Control up to 15 different devices | 50 favorite channels | Mobile app: Android &amp; iOS\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDespite being discontinued by Logitech in 2021, you can still purchase the Logitech Harmony Elite universal remote at select retailers and the company plans to continue to maintain the Harmony database and software; therefore, it still earns a spot on our list.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe dimensions of this Harmony remote are 7.6 x 2.1 x 1.1 inches with a weight of 5.8 ounces and it comes with a battery charging dock.

The LG G2 OLED evo is actually the biggest OLED available at a dazzling 97 inches. Of course, it carries an equally big price tag of $19,999, comparable to the price of a small car.

If you're having trouble figuring out how big your new TV should be, measure the distance (in inches) from where it will sit on a stand or be wall-mounted to where you will be watching from. So if your couch is 12 feet (144 inches) from your TV, your ideal screen size will be about 75 inches. You can go a bit larger or smaller depending on your budget and what's available, but a screen that is too large for your space can cause motion sickness as well as overwhelm your room. And a screen that is too small will force you and your friends and family to crowd around to see, which can make movie nights and watch parties a pain.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\" data-hed=\"Factors to consider when buying a Roku TV\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"023f67f2-1e4e-4603-921c-efe3f9fdd0e9\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EWhile testing and researching the Roku TVs featured on this list, I and other ZDNET experts kept these criteria in mind:&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EStreaming support:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Whether you want free live TV without a cable provider or binge the latest movies and shows as soon as they drop, your Roku TV needs to support a wide variety of apps to be a true entertainment hub for your home.

It offers two basic packages: Blue, with 43 channels for $40, and Orange, with 32 channels for $40. You can get them both as a package deal for $55 and add packages of other channels, called Sling Extras, for small additional fees.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor NFL fans, this is a mixed blessing. I like it because it lets me get the channels I want, but it's also confusing. Some channels are available on both Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Orange is basically an ESPN\u002FDisney package, while Blue offers a Fox\u002FNBC package. Blue also includes The NFL Network. If you want a broad selection of channels, your best deal is to subscribe to the combo for $55.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESling TV is also offering a special NFL deal this season. For $219 in advance, you'll get all the regular NFL games -- except the CBS games -- with a combination of Orange and Blue. This includes ESPN, FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network. The $11 Sports Extra comes with 15 channels for pro ball fans, including NFL RedZone.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat you won't get, though, is your local CBS affiliate. For that, Sling TV urges you to use an OTA antenna. Another option to consider is subscribing to Paramount+, which will give you all of CBS's AFL games.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith Orange and Blue together, you and your people can watch up to four streams at once.

We chose these best NFL streaming services based on what channels and games they include, so you can get the most bang for your buck and watch the games that are most important to you.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow much Internet speed do you need for streaming?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou'll need broadband internet to use any of these services. If you're living on your own, you may be able to get by with as little as 10 megabits per second. However, if you're sharing your home with others or want to watch 4K videos, I recommend getting at least a 25Mbps Internet connection. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENot sure how fast your connection is?

But now, my internet video streaming bills are closing in on cable TV-level bills. Why? Internet streaming is copying the tired, old cable business models. As a result, almost all the live TV services have been seeing price increases, and they'll probably go up higher.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn the other hand, if you want to catch as many games as you can, you have no choice but to stream them. Going forward, I expect more and more games to only be available on streaming services. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn short, no when it comes to watching the NFL, you won't save much money over cable or satellite these days.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat hardware or gear do you need for streaming?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou might be wondering, what do I need a streaming device for?

Well, actually, no, you can't.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI wish you could, but generally speaking, TV manufacturers still do a lousy job supporting streaming services. For example, in 2019, older smart TVs from Samsung and Vizio stopped supporting Netflix. No service is safe if they can do that to the most popular subscription-based video streaming service.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBesides, some smart TVs also don't support newer channels. So, for example, if your kids are demanding Frozen 2 on Disney+ and you have a non-supported Vizio Smartcast TV, you'll have to explain to your 5-year-old why they can't watch Anna, Elsa, and Olaf. Good luck with that.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat said, newer smart LG TVs, like the heart of my home theater, an \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fthe-lg-oled77c1-4k-tv-is-the-best-tv-ive-ever-had\u002F\"\u003ELG OLED 77 C1 4K TV\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, do an excellent job of supporting even obscure streaming networks. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are many streaming devices out there.

The TV allows setup on a smartphone through the SmartThings app. I had to download this app on my phone, but once I did, it also acted as a remote in addition to the solar-powered remote Samsung provided with the TV.

The problem that I have with the Hisense is that if you have a large living space or use your TV for a wide viewing area, the angles on this model just won't cut it. The TV features are great and detailed, and the imagery gets plenty bright when facing it directly on. However, as I moved off to the side of the TV, the picture slowly but surely distorted. It's not too noticeable, especially if you looked at the TV in person before reading this review, but it's enough that I personally wouldn't enjoy watching my movies unless I sat slap dab in the center of it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd, let's not forget about the audio quality. Typically, I watch my shows with my small but mighty Samsung soundbar atop my equally small TV stand. Based on the audio I heard from the Hisense TV, however, I could have easily gotten away with nixing my soundbar. For those who want higher quality audio with a more balanced range of trebles, basses, and mids, or for those who use their TV for Spotify listening sessions, I'd still recommend investing in a dedicated soundbar. For more casual use cases, the optional accessory is by no means necessary for your entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fhome-entertainment\u002Fbest-soundbar\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EBest soundbars to turn up the music\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EGaming performance\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs far as gaming goes, I tested the Hisense TV with some Horizon Forbidden West and was just as enamored with the visuals.

It took some delicate finagling to get this hub to rest in the groove on the stand and locked in with the included lid, but once that's done, it's essentially a \"set it and forget it\" component.

But it also created minor issues in older film footage. I watched the original \u003Cem\u003ELord of the Rings\u003C\u002Fem\u003E trilogy in order to see how effective the new processor's 8K upscaling was and some scenes in Fangorn Forest appeared a little too blue, dulling out other colors.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGaming was much better. My partner is a PS4 gamer and I watched him play \u003Cem\u003EGuardians of the Galaxy\u003C\u002Fem\u003E for this review. Because of the 8K picture and the 120Hz refresh rate, the gameplay felt incredibly detailed. During one galactic battle in an asteroid field, I could see not only the detailing on the ship, including scratches from old dog fights, but also each asteroid's unique shape. For gamers, having this high detail in their picture not only provides a more immersive entertainment experience but allows them to appreciate the creator's artistry. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fhome-entertainment\u002Fbest-gaming-tv\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGamers: To get the most out of your gameplay, you need one of these TVs\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EPerformance\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of my biggest problems with the QN800B didn't stem from the picture quality but from the other performance factors of the TV.

Upon startup, the Omni QLED drops you right into the FireOS home screen, which puts Prime shows and movies front and center. You can also access Amazon's other video streaming partners like Freevee from the home screen as well to watch free movies and shows with ads.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Omni QLED comes with a small suite of preloaded apps to get you started, but you'll have to manually download popular options like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ if you want them. This process is no big deal, as many new smart TVs only offer a small selection of preloaded streaming options. But to not at least have other Amazon-owned apps like Twitch preloaded and ready to go is an odd choice to me.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"c897161c-9ea9-4ee0-9bbb-430e74982cac\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Taylor Clemons\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series QLED TV, showing the home screen with an ad for the Prime original movie Vengeance\" data-image-filename=\"ad-supported-home-screen.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2023\u002F01\u002F27\" data-image-width=\"1296\" data-image-height=\"720\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother home screen issue I have is the ads.

I will say that when the Omni QLED arrived at my house, I had quite a bit of trouble getting AirPlay to work properly. I ended up contacting Amazon for troubleshooting help. One factory reset and several firmware updates later, we were able to get the issue fixed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo if you're having issues sharing anything via AirPlay or Chromecast, I suggest checking the settings menu for the latest firmware update.

A few image quality issues cropped up, like weird white balancing and washed-out colors, but I chalk this up to the way screen mirroring works rather than any fault with the TV.

Overall picture quality varies quite a bit, depending on the age of the animated show or movie you're trying to watch. But even original episodes of Dexter's Laboratory look clean and sharp; there's a little \"fuzziness\" at times with older shows and movies in general, due to the resolution limitations of the time. But the 4K upscaling does a great job of bringing out fine details without ruining the charm.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"14b94fa7-074c-417c-8d92-74fbd266b9b9\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"","imageData":{"id":"bc5614f1-5496-4526-9059-6d652a8f12c0","filename":"kingfisher-pluto-tv-jungle-planet.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2023\u002F01\u002F26\u002Fbc5614f1-5496-4526-9059-6d652a8f12c0\u002Fkingfisher-pluto-tv-jungle-planet.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2023-01-26 17:21:10","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"bc5614f1-5496-4526-9059-6d652a8f12c0","imageFilename":"kingfisher-pluto-tv-jungle-planet.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2023\u002F01\u002F26"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002Fdp\u002FB09N6J7KJD\" data-offerprice=\"690\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-monetizedurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002Fdp\u002FB09N6J7KJD?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{"uuid":"c1b142f1-4a41-48fd-a968-d5c93562a967","slug":"introducing-amazon-fire-tv-65-omni-qled-series-4k-uhd-smart-tv-dolby-vision-iq-local-dimming-hands-free-with-alexa","name":"Introducing Amazon Fire TV 65\\" Omni QLED Series 4K UHD smart TV, Dolby Vision IQ, local dimming, hands-free with Alexa","productType":"PRODUCT","updateType":"AUTOPID","mod":1724335751328,"displayDate":"Thu Aug 22 2024 10:09:11 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)"}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Bottom line  \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt the end of the day, the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series QLED is a run-of-the-mill smart, 4K TV that aims to provide a solid streaming experience for Amazon and Alexa users.

LED (Light Emitting Diodes) don't create the display image. That's actually handled by a transparent LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. But, since LCDs don't emit their own light, the panel would look nearly black without the backlighting provided by the LEDs positioned behind or around them.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn older, basic displays, backlights could consist of as few as 10 or less \"lighting zones\" of LEDs. This often made dark sections of the image look overly lit, or gray, due to the imprecise placement of light. More modern displays offer far, far more lighting zones, sometimes into the thousands. Now, each tiny section of the display can receive precisely light it needs for ideal image brightness and black levels.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) solve this backlighting conundrum entirely by both creating the picture and emitting their own light. You can think of each individual pixel of an OLED display as a tiny, color-changing light bulb. This makes it able to turn off entirely to provide perfect black levels, or illuminate in any color, or pure white. We'll cover more about the benefits and drawbacks of this capability in the next section.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EYou should buy an OLED display or device if...\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"0f1c7fd6-759e-4d90-86ae-2a81e92a4af5\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003ELG's popular C9 OLED TV seen from the side.

You want the slimmest, sleekest display possible\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the biggest benefits of OLEDs' ability to provide their own light is the fact that there doesn't need to be any additional hardware behind them. This makes it possible to create wafer-thin displays that practically disappear when viewed from the side (as seen above). For TVs, this means thinner, lighter, and, let's be honest, cooler-looking units that seem like something from the future. For mobile devices, this helps save space and weight, allowing for slimmer, lighter smartphones and tablets.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E2. Reduced power consumption is important\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile OLED TVs and monitors can help lower our power bills by drawing less power than comparably sized LED-lit displays, where OLED technology's reduced power consumption really makes a difference is in mobile devices. OLED displays can essentially turn off black pixels. This allows your display to use a fraction of the power of an LED-lit display because any completely black portions of it are pretty much drawing no power at all, reducing its drain by a significant amount.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fhome-entertainment\u002Fbest-oled-tv\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe best OLED TVs (and why they're so expensive)\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E3. You want the best black levels\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs mentioned above, OLED displays can completely turn off individual pixels to provide perfect black levels. Most LED-lit displays let a little light bleed onto pixels that are supposed to be completely black. This leads to that perfect black being a bit more like gradations of dark gray. LED-based displays can improve this by using smaller lighting zones or opting for newer technologies like mini LED (more on this in the FAQ section below) to reduce light bleed, but OLED has eliminated it entirely via its intrinsic ability to provide both color and light on per-pixel basis. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"a08db6c3-c84b-4148-9108-2dca67be4787\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"LG OLED G1 Series 65-inch smart TV\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"","imageData":{"id":"1f7269b1-8911-4dce-8033-4ce39616c90f","filename":"lg-g1-oled.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F12\u002F16\u002F1f7269b1-8911-4dce-8033-4ce39616c90f\u002Flg-g1-oled.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-12-16 19:59:37","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"1f7269b1-8911-4dce-8033-4ce39616c90f","imageFilename":"lg-g1-oled.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F12\u002F16"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002Fdp\u002FB08WFX5H7R\u002Fref=twister_B09GQJ2887\" data-offerprice=\"1897\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EYou should buy an LED display or device if...\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"6ccb9d98-6eaa-494d-8b97-81d575c9fd81\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003ESamsung's example of the layers of a standard LED-backlit display, showing the LED-powered "Backlight" layer providing illumination.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Samsung\" data-image-alt-text=\"Samsung's example of the layers of a standard LED backlit display, showing the LED powered "Backlight" layer providing illumination\" data-image-filename=\"samsung-led-layer-example.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F12\u002F14\" data-image-width=\"864\" data-image-height=\"486\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E1.

And console gamers should look for a Hisense TV that supports VRR technology like Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync as well as higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ctable data-title="6x2 Table"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBuy this best Hisense TV...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIf you need...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003C\u002Ftr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHisense U8K \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA well-rounded Hisense TV.

And console gamers should look for a Hisense TV that supports VRR technology like Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync as well as higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ctable data-title="6x2 Table"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBuy this best Hisense TV...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIf you need...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003C\u002Ftr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHisense U8K \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA well-rounded Hisense TV.

A QLED television from Samsung or another brand like Hisense really just uses a regular LED panel to create an image while a fancy processing chip uses proprietary software to boost color, brightness, and contrast.

By allowing individual LED lights to be switched off completely, an OLED television is capable of true blacks that make brighter colors pop and enhance contrast.

And console gamers should look for a Hisense TV that supports VRR technology like Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync as well as higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ctable data-title="6x2 Table"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBuy this best Hisense TV...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIf you need...\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003C\u002Ftr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHisense U8K \t\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Ftd\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA well-rounded Hisense TV.

A QLED television from Samsung or another brand like Hisense really just uses a regular LED panel to create an image while a fancy processing chip uses proprietary software to boost color, brightness, and contrast.

By allowing individual LED lights to be switched off completely, an OLED television is capable of true blacks that make brighter colors pop and enhance contrast.

Now go to All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Brightness (Note that on certain Samsung models, this is found under Picture Setup.) Move the sliders to find the sweet spot (in your opinion) for SDR brightness.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fhome-entertainment\u002Flooking-for-netflix-shows-i-used-these-secret-codes-to-unlock-the-full-catalog\u002F\"\u003ELooking for Netflix shows?

Going to YouTube TV is a quick way to ensure you are watching HDR content because many of its videos are labeled with short descriptions indicating their type. Alternatively, you can simply search for \"HDR video.\"\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe brightness level you choose is a matter of personal preference, but you will see a distinction when viewing both technologies (SDR\u002FHDR). HDR looks best to me with the brightness maxed out. You might find that SDR looks ideal when set at a lower level.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E5. Experiment with Local Dimming\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother setting that impacts brightness levels is Local Dimming, which is available on Samsung TVs in three options. Go to All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Local Dimming.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EExperiment with this by sampling Low, Standard, and High to see which one suits you best. Set to Low, Local Dimming provides less halo and blooming around bright objects on dark backgrounds. On Samsung TVs, my preference is High because it keeps flashpoints bright without surrounding images with a halo.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow that you've modified Local Dimming, you might want to go back and check your brightness levels on both SDR and HDR content to see if they're satisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E6.

This can be beneficial when watching sports because live television is shot at 30 FPS.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother common default feature, however, is Motion Smoothing, which has earned the reputation of giving TVs a \"soap opera effect.\" By that description alone, you probably get the idea.

Ultra-high definition 4K resolution helps, as does its HDR10+ support, which yields a wider range of colors and brightness levels than the standard dynamic range.
