There’s OLED, QLED, UHD and many more acronyms to contend with

Whether you’re after a larger screen or sharper picture quality, we’ve pulled together some of the best TV deals from big-name brands this month.

If you’re not sure which type of set is right for you, keep in mind that bigger doesn’t always mean better. You can find great bargains on 1,080px (full HD) televisions, but while that resolution will be supported for years to come, 4K displays (ultra HD) are now standard, especially on streaming platforms such as Prime Video. These TVs are also cheaper than you might think – you can find decent 4K televisions for well under £1,000.

OLED and QLED TVs are at the cutting edge, but they’re expensive. LCD is the entry-level panel technology, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that means low quality. The best LCD TVs look far better than the cheapest OLED TVs.

Also consider image-processing features: these reduce motion blur and dynamically adjust contrast for the best possible picture. Fast refresh rates can greatly improve the look of football games and other fast-moving sports, a well as video games on next-generation consoles such as the PS5. Upscaling – how a 4K television interprets and displays standard-definition content – is important, too. But watch out, because bad upscaling can make older programmes look blurry and woozy.

Whether you’re after a bargain 43in TV for the family or a supersize glossy 85in model to stream your favourite shows in all their glory, here’s our pick of the top TV deals you can snap up this month.
