Samsung S95F OLED first look: exceptionally bright and vying for best tv of the year
Table of Contents The Samsung S95F OLED TV: Many people already have feelings about it, but I’d suggest putting those aside until you’ve read this. Why? Because I’ve been to Samsung’s super secret facility on the East Coast (something we’ve been doing for the past four or five years) getting an early look at their flagship television. You’re might already be familiar with the flagship 8K NeoQLED (QN900F) outfitted with some anti-glare technology and the flagship 4K NeoQLED TV (QN90F).

Explicación de la línea de televisores de Sony para 2025
Por Caleb Denison de DT en inglés Tabla de contenidos El gato está fuera de la bolsa: el nuevo televisor más popular de Sony es un QD-OLED que utiliza el último panel QD-OLED. Sin embargo, la convención de nomenclatura puede parecer un poco confusa para cualquiera que siga los televisores. Si a esto le añadimos el nuevo Bravia 5 mini-LED, los planes de Sony de lanzar un televisor mini-LED RGB en 2026, las cosas pueden parecer aún más desconcertantes.
The Sony Bravia 8 Mark II QD-OLED is coming, and we couldn't be more excited
You may have heard — or you may not have heard — some rumors circulating about what Sony’s newest OLED TV might look like. Some speculated that it was going to step away from QD-OLED into a new four-stack panel produced by a different display manufacturer, and a lot of folks were understandably a little unnerved by this. I went out there and said, “I don’t think that’s what’s happening,” and I kind of put my name on the line with that.
Sony's 2025 TV lineup explained
Table of Contents The cat is out of the bag: Sony’s hottest new TV is a QD-OLED using the latest QD-OLED panel. However, the naming convention might seem a little confusing to anyone who follows TVs. Toss in the new Bravia 5 mini-LED, and Sony’s plans to unleash an RGB mini-LED TV in 2026, and things might seem even more perplexing.

¿Tienes un televisor Samsung? Este cambio de Netflix es para ti
Por de DT en inglés Es posible que haya visto la noticia de que Netflix está agregando soporte para HDR10 + a ciertos títulos ahora y espera tener todos los títulos compatibles para fin de año. Es un titular que se lee como si una nueva función genial llegara a todos los clientes de Netflix. Pero la realidad es que a nadie más que a los propietarios de televisores Samsung les debe importar.
Own a Samsung TV? This Netflix change is for you
You may have seen the news that Netflix is adding HDR10+ support to certain titles now and hopes to have all titles supported by the end of the year. It’s a headline that reads like a cool new feature is coming to all of Netflix’s customers. But the reality is that nobody but Samsung TV owners need to care. Of course, as the number one seller of TVs in the world, Samsung has a lot of TVs in homes that will have Netflix looking just a tiny bit more sparkling. Why only Samsung TV owners?

The four LG TVs everyone needs to know about
Table of Contents The LG G5 OLED TV is getting a lot of attention — and for good reason. It is undoubtedly a strong contender to become the best TV of 2025. However, it’s not the TV I will be recommending most to enthusiasts, and it’s definitely not the LG TV I will be recommending to most people. The G5 is amazing, but LG has three other TVs worthy of your attention — one of them you likely won’t see coming. Here are the four banger TVs from LG that folks need to know about.

Is this TV the real “OLED Killer”?
I don’t like the term “OLED Killer.” It’s been beaten to death, and is now pretty much clickbait. Only once, recently, I applied the term to a TV, mentioning it only to stoke discussion. But I think I have found a real potential OLED killer. Sony showed it to me. During a recent visit to Sony’s headquarters in Tokyo, I was shown a display prototype, and I haven’t seen anything like it before. Turns out, Sony has been working on RGB mini-LED for three years now.

Our TV reviews are about to get even better
Table of Contents After a lot of thought, I’ve come to a decision: It’s time to change how we do TV reviews. It’s easy to get stuck in our ways, especially when we find something that works, and many sayings reinforce this mindset. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” “Don’t mess with success.” “Leave well enough alone.” And my personal favorite: “Perfection is the enemy of good.” However, just as many axioms point in the other direction.

You can get Super Bowl LIX in 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos if you’re a Comcast customer
If you are a Comcast Xfinity subscriber with an Xi6 box or one of Comcast’s Xumo streaming boxes, you are in for a serious Super Bowl treat on Sunday, February 9, 2025 when Taylor Swift the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, Louisiana for Super Bowl LIX. According to Comcast, this year‘s big game will be delivered in an “enhanced 4K format.” To be frank, Comcast is underselling the visual and auditory delight that many of its customers will have on tap.

Compared to a lot of other devices that Digital Trends reviews on a regular basis, testing out the newest and best turntables can be capricious. While modern turntables have become much more user-friendly and plug-and-play compared to your dad's old-school deck, many still have delicate moving parts that often require assembly and fine-tuning, which can make the review process tricky, but also a lot of fun.
Surround sound smackdown: Sonos Arc Ultra System vs. Sony Bravia Theater Quad Original
Table of Contents Are you looking for a top-tier Dolby Atmos surround sound system that gets as close as possible to a full-on receiver and speakers? I have two favorites.

Terroriffs: The terror of Trump’s TV tariffs
Table of Contents The consumer bears the cost. Remember that because it’s going to come up over and over and over, especially when it comes to talking about tariffs and whether you’re about to pay a whole lot more for consumer electronics. I call it a terror over tariffs — or “terroriffs” — a fear that tariffs will automatically mean higher prices on some of the things we buy, especially items that already tend to be expensive.
The best midrange Sony TV just got a $600 discount
Everyone wants a bright and colorful TV that lasts a long time, but the reality with many models is less than compelling. TVs don’t last as long as they used to, which is why it’s more important than ever to stick with a brand that’s going to treat you well. And in our book, you really can’t go wrong when you go with Sony. And right now, when you purchase the Sony 65-inch Bravia 7 Series QLED TV through Best Buy, Walmart, Crutchfield, and other retailers, you’ll only pay $1,398.

There’s a story behind that, and I’m happy to report that the story ends with QDEL having made far more progress than expected. Should we still be excited?
